Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a common and effective treatment for reducing hot flashes in women experiencing menopause or perimenopause. Hot flashes are one of the most common and bothersome symptoms of hormonal changes during this stage of life.
During menopause, the decline in estrogen levels can disrupt the body’s temperature regulation, leading to sudden and intense sensations of heat, typically accompanied by sweating and flushing of the skin. BHRT involves the use of estrogen or a combination of estrogen and progesterone to supplement the body with these hormones and alleviate the symptoms of hormone deficiency, including hot flashes.

Estrogen replacement therapy can help regulate body temperature and reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes. It works by stabilizing the blood vessels and reducing the overactivity of the hypothalamus, which is responsible for regulating body temperature. Progesterone, when combined with estrogen in BHRT, can also contribute to the management of hot flashes.
It’s important to note that the effectiveness of BHRT on hot flashes can vary among individuals, and the decision to pursue BHRT should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional, considering the potential risks and benefits. Other factors such as overall health, medical history, and personal preferences should also be taken into account.

“Since I became a patient of Dr. Schultz and FINALLY found someone who could balance my hormones, I HAVE FELT BETTER THAN I DID WHEN I WAS 20!!! I swear this is true!! Because of her diagnostic genius, the level of bioidentical hormones she has fine-tuned to my individual needs have changed my life and restored me to be the best “me” I can be! Dr. Schultz is not just a doctor, I call her my HEALER 🙂 She LISTENS to me, she educates me and encourages me to take good care of myself and to make good choices, and then she allows me to make my own decisions and choices, because she respects that I am an intelligent adult and the expert on my own 58-year-old body. She treats me as a peer and her PARTNER in maintaining my own wellness, and she respects and cares about me! Our appointments start and end with a hug, and I leave her office feeling uplifted, understood, inspired, strengthened and healed in body mind and spirit. She is very holistic, understanding that we are not just a cluster of symptoms, but that in order to have healthy bodies we must also address our issues, belief systems, and thoughts. Dr. Schultz is a wise and wonderful teacher and I am blessed to have her on my path:) And her staff is awesome too!”
