What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is more than just a medical treatment—it's a pathway to renewed health and energy. Whether you're seeking Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) or experiencing disruptive hormonal imbalances, our comprehensive approach ensures you receive the most advanced, personalized care possible. Below, we'll review the differences between HRT, TRT, and BHRT, and why our team uses BHRT to treat our patients.

The Three Key Hormone Therapies Explained

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

An umbrella term referring to the broader approach to hormonal balance that addresses various hormonal needs across different life stages. This approach may or may not be bioidentical.

Testosterone
Replacement
Therapy (TRT)

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is designed for individuals experiencing low testosterone and can significantly improve quality of life. However, for men, a protocol that includes only testosterone is often incomplete, as proper hormone balance typically requires addressing other key hormones as well. Similarly, for women, a hormone optimization plan that excludes testosterone may not fully support overall well-being. A truly effective approach considers the broader hormonal picture to ensure optimal health and symptom relief.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

The most advanced and synchronous approach to hormone optimization. Unlike synthetic hormone treatments, bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body. These are the hormones that we leverage at Savannah Age Management Medicine to get the best results for our patients.
