What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment designed to restore declining hormone levels that naturally shift with age, stress, and metabolic changes. At Bliss MD, we use bioidentical hormone therapy in Chicago – molecularly identical to those your body produces—to optimize estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and other key hormones that regulate sleep, mood, metabolism, brain function, and sexual wellness.
Unlike generic hormone prescriptions, our programs are fully personalized using advanced lab work, symptom mapping, and professional medical supervision.
Why Bioidentical Hormone Therapy in Chicago?
Synthetic hormones used in conventional medicine can trigger unwanted side effects because they are not identical to human hormones. Bioidentical hormones work differently—they match your body’s natural chemistry, which often results in:
• More predictable results
• Improved symptom relief
• Lower risk of negative reactions
• Better long-term safety profile
Bliss MD prescribes only FDA-regulated, pharmacy-compounded bioidentical hormones—not over-the-counter gels or unreliable supplements.
Signs You May Need HRT
Women in Chicago contact us for hormone therapy when they experience:
• Irregular or heavy periods
• Brain fog, mood swings, or irritability
• Weight gain, especially around the midsection
• Low libido or painful intercourse
• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Sleep disruption or chronic fatigue
• Hair thinning or dry skin
• Anxiety or depressive symptoms with no clear cause
If you feel “off” but your traditional doctor says “your labs look normal,” you’re the exact patient our functional medicine approach was built for.
