Navigating hormonal changes can be complex, impacting everything from mood and energy levels to sleep and overall well-being. If you're experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, you’re not alone. Many individuals—especially women approaching menopause or perimenopause—seek effective solutions to restore balance and improve their quality of life.
One promising option is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), a personalized approach that helps regulate hormone levels using compounds that closely match the body's natural hormones.
If you’re considering BHRT, understanding what to expect can ease any concerns and help you make an informed decision about your health. This guide will explore the BHRT process, its benefits, who can benefit, and why 3 Point Elite—led by Dr. Lashea Davis Roland—is the premier choice for patient-centered hormonal care in Silver Spring, MD.
Understanding Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
BHRT is a specialized form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) that uses bioidentical hormones—compounds derived from natural sources, such as yams or soy, that have the same molecular structure as the hormones produced by the human body.
Unlike traditional synthetic hormone therapies, BHRT is designed to work in harmony with your body, reducing the likelihood of side effects and promoting better absorption.

Who Can Benefit from BHRT?

BHRT is not just for women experiencing menopause. It can benefit individuals experiencing hormonal imbalances due to aging, stress, or medical conditions.
1. Women Experiencing Perimenopause and Menopause
As women approach their late 30s to 50s, estrogen and progesterone levels decline, leading to menopause-related symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. BHRT helps restore balance and alleviate these symptoms for a smoother transition into menopause.
2. Individuals with Thyroid or Adrenal Hormone Imbalances
Conditions such as hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, or cortisol imbalances can lead to extreme fatigue, weight gain, and depression. BHRT can support optimal thyroid and adrenal function, improving overall well-being.
3. Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS is linked to hormonal imbalances, including high testosterone and insulin resistance. BHRT can help regulate hormones and reduce symptoms like irregular periods, acne, and excessive hair growth.
4. Individuals Experiencing Low Testosterone (Men and Women)
Testosterone is essential for muscle mass, energy, and libido in both men and women. Low testosterone levels can lead to fatigue, depression, and decreased muscle strength. BHRT can boost testosterone levels, improving vitality and physical performance.
5. People Seeking Anti-Aging and Preventative Health Solutions
As hormones decline with age, BHRT can help maintain youthful energy, skin health, cognitive function, and metabolism. It’s a proactive approach to aging well and preserving long-term health.
What to Expect During the BHRT Process?
1. Initial Consultation and Assessment
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation and evaluation.
- Hormone level testing will be conducted through blood, saliva, or urine samples.
- Symptom evaluation will help determine the best treatment plan for your needs.
- Medical history and lifestyle factors will be reviewed to create a personalized approach.
2. Customized Treatment Plan
A personalized BHRT treatment plan unique to your body's hormone levels and health goals will be designed by the physician. Treatment options may include:
- Creams and Gels – Applied to the skin for steady absorption.
- Pills or Capsules – Taken orally for easy hormone regulation.
- Pellet Therapy – Tiny hormone pellets inserted under the skin for long-lasting effects.
3. Expected Timeline and Symptom Relief
- Some patients notice improvements within a few weeks, while others may take a few months.
- Hormone levels will be monitored regularly to ensure balance and effectiveness.
- Adjustments may be made based on your response to treatment.
4. Potential Side Effects and Risks
While BHRT is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience:
- Temporary bloating or breast tenderness
- Mild headaches or fatigue during the adjustment phase
- Rare but potential risks, which will be discussed during your consultation
Regular monitoring and communication will ensure that any side effects are addressed promptly.
