Symptoms That Can Be Targeted with Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

Writer: GLORIA BIRDGLORIA BIRD

Hormonal imbalances can affect men and women at any stage of life, leading to a wide range of frustrating symptoms that impact energy levels, mood, metabolism, and overall well-being. Whether due to aging, perimenopause, menopause, or andropause, hormone imbalances can cause unexplained fatigue, stubborn weight gain, low libido, and more.


Fortunately, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) offers a safe, effective way to restore balance and improve quality of life. At Metromed, we provide BHRT in Memphis, TN, and via telemedicine in IA, ND, VT, WA, CO, UT, NJ, FL, MA, ME, MD, and DE. Our personalized, science-based approach ensures that each patient receives the right treatment to optimize hormones and alleviate symptoms.


Common Symptoms That Can Be Targeted with BHRT


1. Chronic Fatigue & Low Energy

Feeling exhausted even after a full night’s sleep? Hormones like testosterone, thyroid hormones, and cortisol regulate energy levels. Low levels can lead to fatigue, sluggishness, and brain fog.

BHRT restores optimal hormone levels, leading to sustained energy throughout the day.


2. Weight Gain & Slow Metabolism

Struggling to lose weight despite dieting and exercise? Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid hormones play a major role in metabolism, fat storage, and muscle retention. When they decline, weight gain—especially around the midsection—becomes common.

BHRT supports a faster metabolism and lean muscle preservation, making weight loss easier.


3. Mood Swings, Anxiety & Depression

Do you feel more irritable, anxious, or depressed than usual? Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone directly impact neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which regulate mood.

BHRT helps stabilize mood, reducing anxiety, irritability, and depressive symptoms.


4. Low Libido & Sexual Dysfunction

A decrease in testosterone and estrogen can lead to:

  • Low sex drive

  • Vaginal dryness (women)

  • Erectile dysfunction (men)

BHRT restores libido, enhances sexual function, and improves overall satisfaction.


5. Hot Flashes & Night Sweats

Menopause and perimenopause can bring sudden, intense hot flashes and night sweats, disrupting sleep and daily comfort.

BHRT helps regulate body temperature and eliminates hot flashes.


6. Brain Fog & Memory Issues

Do you often forget things, struggle to concentrate, or feel mentally sluggish? Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid hormones play a role in cognitive function and memory.

BHRT improves mental clarity, focus, and memory retention.


7. Insomnia & Poor Sleep Quality

Hormonal imbalances—especially involving cortisol, melatonin, and progesterone—can lead to difficulty falling or staying asleep.

BHRT promotes deeper, more restorative sleep and helps regulate sleep cycles.


8. Thinning Hair & Dry Skin

Declining estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones can cause:

  • Thinning hair

  • Dry, brittle skin

  • Increased wrinkles and loss of elasticity

BHRT supports collagen production, skin hydration, and hair regrowth.


9. Joint Pain & Muscle Loss

As testosterone and estrogen levels decline, muscle mass decreases, and joint pain increases. Many patients feel weaker and experience more body aches as they age.

BHRT enhances muscle strength, reduces inflammation, and improves mobility.


10. Osteoporosis & Bone Loss

Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone play a key role in bone density maintenance. Low levels increase the risk of fractures and osteoporosis.

BHRT helps prevent bone loss and strengthens bone density.

Why Choose Bio-Identical Hormones Over Synthetic Hormones?

Unlike synthetic hormones, bio-identical hormones (BHRT) are:


Chemically identical to the body’s natural hormones

Customized for each patient’s unique needs

Safer and better tolerated

Available in multiple delivery forms, including pellets, creams, gels, and injections


At Metromed, we offer BHRT using advanced lab testing and personalized treatment plans to help patients achieve optimal hormone balance and long-term health.
