Bioidentical Hormone Therapy for Women

Bioidentical hormone therapy is the treatment of choice for perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms.

Hormones in the human body control most of the functions essential to its survival: metabolism, mood changes, immune system, overall development. A hormonal imbalance can have various negative effects on a persons health and well-being. As women age, they experience the effects of hormonal fluctuations, sometimes even several years before menopause. Treatment with bioidentical hormone therapy is highly beneficial and desirable to improve symptoms. Dr. Gabrielle Landry’s practice brings together integrative medicine and the knowledge gained from multiple studies to provide relief and help patients through this phase in their life.

What is bioidentical hormone therapy?

Bioidentical hormone therapy is designed to reduce the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, and can be used in both men and women with symptoms of hormone deficiency or imbalance.

The therapy uses bioidentical hormones derived from plants that are chemically identical to hormones naturally produced by the body. They can be administered in different ways: tablets, gels, transdermal patches or intramuscular injections. Unlike traditional or synthetic hormone therapy, bioidentical hormone therapy mimics the effects of hormones naturally produced by the body.

The decision to initiate hormone therapy is a collaborative and individualized decision between Dr. Landry and her patient. Each individual is unique and will be assigned a personalized treatment plan.

The personalized hormone therapy plan will be established following a complete medical evaluation and a metabolic and hormonal laboratory analysis. Following the initial prescription of the medication, a follow-up at 3 months and then every 6 months is suggested to evaluate the patient’s response to treatment and experience. This approach will allow the treatment to be personalized and adapted to the patient’s needs.
