Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a treatment option that has gained positive momentum. It has great potential to address hormone imbalances in aging men. Men should know these signs and symptoms that may indicate if he could benefit from BHRT.
Signs and Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance in Men
Hormone imbalances in men can occur for various reasons, including aging, stress, and certain medical conditions. These imbalances can lead to a range of symptoms that can significantly impact a man’s quality of life. Some common signs and symptoms of hormone imbalance in men include:
- Low energy levels and fatigue
- Decreased muscle mass and strength
- Increased body fat, particularly around the abdomen
- Reduced libido and sexual function
- Mood swings and irritability
- Difficulty concentrating and memory problems
- Insomnia or sleep disturbances
When BHRT May Be Considered
BHRT may be considered for men who are experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance and have had their hormone levels tested to confirm the imbalance. Testosterone is one of the primary hormones that may be addressed with BHRT in men. Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, but some men may experience a more significant decline, leading to symptoms of low testosterone (also known as hypogonadism or Low-T).
In addition to low testosterone, other hormonal imbalances, such as low DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) or imbalances in thyroid hormones, may also be addressed with BHRT. A BodyLogicMD practitioner can perform tests to determine the specific hormone levels and identify any imbalances that may be present.

- Increased energy levels and reduced fatigue
- Improved muscle mass and strength
