BHRT Basics: Preparing for Hormone Replacement Therapy

Before beginning Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) at En Vogue IV Therapy & Wellness, our experienced medical professionals will perform a comprehensive health evaluation customized specifically for you. This personalized assessment begins with an in-depth consultation, during which we discuss your medical history, current symptoms, lifestyle habits, wellness goals, and overall health needs.

We utilize advanced diagnostic testing methods—such as blood, saliva, or urine tests—to accurately measure your hormone levels. These tests focus on key hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones. By identifying your specific hormone imbalances, our medical providers can determine your baseline hormone status and design a custom BHRT treatment plan tailored precisely to your needs.

Additionally, our comprehensive evaluation includes essential laboratory tests to assess your overall wellness and identify potential underlying health conditions. Common tests performed include a complete blood count (CBC), lipid profile, glucose screening, liver and kidney function tests, vitamin D levels, and other nutrient assessments.

In some instances, our team may also recommend specialized assessments, such as pelvic ultrasounds or mammograms, to ensure there are no contraindications or underlying conditions that may impact your suitability for hormone therapy.

By combining these detailed evaluations and wellness-focused diagnostics, En Vogue IV Therapy & Wellness ensures that your BHRT program is safe, effective, and fully customized. Our goal is to help you achieve hormone balance, optimize your health, and enhance your overall quality of life.

Before starting Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) at En Vogue IV Therapy & Wellness, it is essential to openly discuss all medications and supplements you currently take with our experienced healthcare professionals. Certain medications, vitamins, supplements, or herbal products can potentially interact with hormone treatments, influencing their effectiveness or causing unintended side effects.

Our dedicated providers will perform a thorough assessment of your complete medication and supplement history, advising you on whether you should discontinue or temporarily pause certain products before initiating BHRT. For example, certain blood thinners, hormone-related medications, or herbal supplements can affect hormone metabolism or interact with bioidentical hormones. Additionally, supplements that influence liver enzyme activity may impact how your body processes hormone treatments.

Never stop taking prescription medications without professional guidance, as abruptly discontinuing certain medications can lead to adverse effects or complications. Our healthcare specialists will carefully evaluate the risks and benefits, taking into consideration your unique health history, the specific hormones being administered, and any additional medications or supplements you currently use.

At En Vogue IV Therapy & Wellness, your first Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) consultation is designed to be a personalized, informative, and empowering experience. Our approach focuses on your unique health journey, wellness goals, and overall vitality.

During your initial consultation, your experienced En Vogue healthcare provider will begin with a thorough discussion about your current health status, specific symptoms, and personal wellness objectives. We’ll closely review your medical history, including previous diagnoses, current medications, supplements you may take, lifestyle factors, and any relevant family medical history.

You’ll gain clarity on the concept of bioidentical hormones and how they differ from traditional hormone replacement therapies. We emphasize evidence-based, individualized care designed to optimize your health, energy, and overall well-being. Our provider will openly discuss the potential benefits and any risks involved, empowering you to make informed decisions. You’ll have ample opportunity to ask questions, express any concerns, and ensure comfort with the proposed treatment options.

Next, your provider may perform a comprehensive physical evaluation and recommend specialized laboratory testing (blood, saliva, or urine) to accurately determine your hormone levels and pinpoint any imbalances. These results form the foundation for a customized treatment approach that specifically addresses your unique hormonal needs.

Once your results are ready, we’ll discuss your personalized BHRT options, carefully selecting the most effective and convenient form of bioidentical hormone therapy for you—whether creams, gels, patches, pellets, lozenges, or capsules. We help you select the most suitable method tailored specifically to your lifestyle, comfort, and preferences.
