Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy in Las Vegas

What Are Hormones and What Do They Do?

Hormones are chemical messengers that coordinate an extraordinary range of functions throughout the body — from metabolism and immune response to mood, sexual function, sleep, bone density, and cardiovascular health. Your body produces more than 50 distinct hormones, and men and women manufacture them in different levels and ratios. When these levels are properly balanced, your body functions as it should. When they’re not, the consequences can touch virtually every aspect of how you feel and function.

As you move through the natural phases of life, your body gradually produces lower volumes of key hormones — including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and thyroid hormones. This decline doesn’t happen on a predictable schedule, and it affects each person differently. Many patients describe feeling disconnected from their own body as hormones begin to fluctuate — experiencing changes in energy, weight, cognition, mood, and physical comfort that seem inexplicable until the hormonal root cause is identified.

Signs of Hormonal Imbalance

Hormonal imbalance can develop in both men and women at virtually any age — not just during menopause or andropause. Symptoms that may affect either sex include unexplained weight gain, persistent fatigue, depression or anxiety, decreased sex drive, muscle weakness, dry skin, cognitive fog, disrupted sleep, and changes in appetite or digestion.

Women may additionally experience vaginal dryness or atrophy, changes in menstrual bleeding patterns, night sweats, hot flashes, acne on the chest or face, and headaches related to hormonal fluctuation. Men may notice erectile dysfunction, loss of muscle mass, decreased beard or body hair growth, increased breast tissue sensitivity, and early-onset osteoporosis — all of which are frequently linked to declining testosterone and DHEA levels.

Though these changes are common, they are not something you have to accept as inevitable. At More Than Medical Wellness, we offer a precise, evidence-based path to restoring the hormonal balance that supports you feeling and functioning at your best.

What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are derived from plant sources and are chemically identical — at the molecular level — to the hormones your body produces naturally. Unlike conventional synthetic hormone therapies, which use hormones structurally different from those your body makes, bioidentical hormones are recognized by your body as its own. Your system cannot distinguish between the hormones it makes and the bioidentical supplemental hormones delivered through BHRT.

At More Than Medical Wellness, we are a certified provider of the BioTE Method — one of the most respected and rigorously validated approaches to hormone optimization available. The BioTE Method uses a patient-centric strategy to assess your hormone levels through comprehensive blood testing, then designs a precision protocol to restore optimal balance — supporting your health span as well as your day-to-day quality of life. BioTE hormone pellets, which are placed under the skin in a simple in-office procedure, release a steady, consistent stream of hormones that mirrors the body’s natural delivery mechanism more closely than pills, patches, or creams.

BHRT at More Than Medical Wellness integrates seamlessly with our broader functional medicine and wellness services, including peptide therapy, medical weight loss, personalized nutrition counseling, and IV hydration therapy for a truly comprehensive approach to hormonal and metabolic health.

How Long Does Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Take to Work?

BHRT is a highly individualized process, and your body may respond differently from others — even close relatives. It typically takes a period of careful titration to find the hormone levels and delivery method that produce your best results. Many patients begin noticing improvements in energy, sleep, mood, and libido within the first few weeks. Full benefits — including improvements in body composition, cognitive clarity, and cardiovascular markers — often develop over two to six months as hormone levels stabilize.

Throughout this process, you will have the full guidance and support of the More Than Medical Wellness team. We monitor your levels with follow-up blood work, adjust your protocol when needed, and remain available to address any questions or concerns that arise.
