Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy in Houston, TX
Hormonal imbalances can affect your sleep, energy levels, mood, memory, and metabolism. At The Woodlands Institute for Health & Wellness, we offer bio-identical hormone replacement therapy to help you feel your best again, naturally.
What Is Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy?
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses plant-based hormones that are chemically identical to what your body naturally produces. This makes them easier for your body to recognize and use effectively. Unlike synthetic hormones, which can come with more risks or side effects, bio-identical options work in sync with your body’s natural rhythms.
Hormone levels naturally decline with age, but stress, poor sleep, certain medical conditions, or environmental toxins can also trigger imbalances. These can cause symptoms that affect energy, mood, metabolism, and even relationships.
For women, symptoms may include, for example:
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Worsened PMS
- Bloating
- Weight gain
- Hair loss
- Brain fog
- Headaches
- Depression
- Decreased sexual pleasure
For men, symptoms often include:
- Low libido
- Trouble thinking clearly (“brain fog”)
- Irritability and mood swings
- Fatigue
- Weight gain (“man boobs”, “love handles”)
- Anxiety
Our hormone replacement therapy is customized to address your specific symptoms by analyzing your lab results and health history. We provide solutions for both men and women, whether you’re experiencing perimenopause, menopause, or andropause. Even if you’re younger, hormone issues can still be a factor, and early support can make a big difference in how you feel each day.

Here’s what your journey with us looks like:
1. One-on-One Appointment
You’ll start with a detailed visit with one of our trained medical providers. During this time, we’ll review your health history, discuss all your symptoms, and order the lab tests you may need. This helps us understand what’s going on and what your body needs.
2. Lab Review and Assessment.
Once your lab results are in, we’ll review your hormone levels and check for any imbalances or deficiencies. These results, along with your symptoms, help guide your treatment and give us a complete picture of your hormone health.
3. Make a Customized Plan
If BHRT is right for you, your provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan. We will assist you in choosing the best method for taking your hormones, whether through pills, creams, injections, sublingual tablets, troches, or pellets, based on what best fits your routine and physiological needs.
4. Ongoing Support
We’ll keep track of your progress and adjust your plan as needed. Through regular check-ins and lab follow-ups, we make sure your hormone replacement therapy continues to meet your body’s needs.
