# Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Safely treat the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause

## What is BHRT?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy uses hormones that are chemically identical to those your body produces naturally. This therapy aims to restore hormone balance and alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause.

## Benefits of BHRT

Natural Solution

Hormones used in BHRT are identical to those produced by your body. Unlike contraceptive pills, which are often prescribed for menopausal symptoms, risks and side effects are minmal. If you have tried "the pill" in the past and experienced unwanted side effects, you may have a much better experience with BHRT.

Effective Relief

BHRT has been shown to effectively reduce hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and other menopausal symptoms. Most patients enjoy better sleep, more even moods, and a dramatic reduction in hot flashes, helping to ease your transition into menopause.

Personalized Treatment

Each treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring the best possible results. There are multiple options available, so you don't have to settle for ineffective or problematic options. Your personal goals and symptoms guide the treatment plan, because one size does not fit all.

## Safety and Efficacy

Extensive research and clinical studies support the safety and effectiveness of BHRT. As a member of [The Menopause Society](https://menopause.org/), (formerly North American Menopause Society, or NAMS ), I stay on top of the latest research on the safety and efficacy of menopausal hormone therapy. Additionally, I use specialized lab tests to further ensure the necessity and safety of all treatment protocols.

## The Naturopathic Approach to Menopausal Hormone Therapy

Naturopathic medicine is whole-person care, centered on the needs of the individual. You are not your symptoms, and treatment is not limited to the prescription pad. I also discuss proper nutrition for the perimenopausal and menopausal woman, as well as the best fitness routines, stress management techniques, and more. When BHRT is not desired or safe for the individual, non-hormonal options are available. [Read more about non-hormonal treatments here](/natural-menopause-support).

## Menopause Society

## Certified Practitioner

I'm proud to be certified by [The Menopause Society](https://menopause.org/) as an expert in treating women in perimenopause and beyond. Practitioners with the MSCP certification must pass a rigorous exam and earn additional menopause-related continuing education credits every year. This is where my passion for improving the lives of women meets science and clinical best practices.

## Real Stories From Our Community

"I have had the best experience working with Dr. Alisha. She cares a lot about my success to lose weight in a healthy way and to feel better in my body as I go through perimenopause and it's working! I feel heard and understood and she doesn't sugar coat things. She patiently explained the lab results, and made recommendations that were practical and personalized. I’m feeling stronger than ever and more in tune with my body for first time."

“I am convinced your recommendations are why I have the energy and performance level I do today. Which by the way feels pretty amazing.”

Holly S.

From our very first meeting, I was blown away by Dr. Alisha's depth of knowledge, passion and no-nonsense approach to helping women navigate the often murky waters of hormone health. There is so much conflicting information and stigma around perimenopause and menopause and each woman's journey is so personal. Having Dr. Alisha in my corner was a game changer for me. I feel so educated and empowered to navigate the road ahead with confidence, to advocate for my physical and mental health, and feel my best.
