Restore balance with personalized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
Menopause can feel like a storm of changes, but you don’t have to weather it alone. At Lovely Medical Spa & Wellness Center in Gulf Breeze, we offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help relieve menopausal symptoms and restore a sense of physical and emotional well-being.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a personalized treatment designed for individuals experiencing symptoms related to hormonal imbalance, most commonly women in perimenopause or menopause, and men experiencing andropause.
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. They’re often derived from plant sources and compounded to match your specific hormonal needs. Unlike synthetic hormone replacement therapy, which may use synthetic conjugated estrogens or progestins, bioidentical options aim to restore balance with fewer side effects.
We use a combination of bioidentical estrogen, bioidentical progesterone (including bioidentical progesterone cream and oral progesterone), and other supportive hormones to address the root causes of your symptoms.
After a comprehensive evaluation, including serum hormone levels and lifestyle review, our provider will create a personalized BHRT plan. Options may include micronized progesterone, compounded hormone preparations, or FDA-approved formulations when appropriate. Our goal is to support hormone balance gently and effectively, minimizing the need for one-size-fits-all prescriptions. Treatments are monitored over time to adjust for optimal benefit and safety.
We offer several forms of bioidentical hormone replacement, including:
We also work closely with trusted compounding pharmacies to ensure high-quality, compounded bioidentical hormone therapy that fits your needs.
Bioidentical hormone therapy can relieve symptoms related to:
Conventional hormone therapy often includes synthetic hormones and FDA-approved products that may not match the body’s natural structure. While effective for some, they can be associated with increased risk of breast cancer, blood clots, gallbladder disease, and other concerns—especially in postmenopausal women using oral estrogens.
Compounded bioidentical hormone therapy, when properly prescribed and monitored, may offer a more natural-feeling alternative, particularly for women who don’t tolerate synthetic versions well. However, it’s important to note that compounded medications are not currently FDA-approved and should be carefully regulated by experienced providers.
We use evidence-based practices and monitor hormone levels through salivary testing or blood work, in line with Endocrine Society scientific statements and evolving guidance.
Many patients report noticeable relief from menopause symptoms within a few weeks, with improved energy, focus, and mood. Full results may take several months as hormone levels stabilize and your body adjusts.
Regular check-ins and ongoing hormone testing help ensure your therapy stays effective and safe over time.
At Lovely Medical Spa & Wellness Center, we believe hormone care should be personal. Our medically trained team takes time to understand your symptoms, lab results, and life stage before designing a BHRT plan that truly supports you, physically and emotionally. Whether you're navigating menopause, perimenopause, or andropause, our approach is grounded in evidence, compassion, and a deep respect for your experience. We walk alongside you with careful monitoring, expert guidance, and a commitment to helping you feel like yourself again.
Some bioidentical hormones, like micronized progesterone and estradiol, are FDA-approved when prescribed in standard formulations. However, compounded bioidentical preparations made by pharmacies are not currently FDA-approved but may be appropriate for certain patients.
As with all prescription drugs, hormone replacement carries some risks, including potential increases in breast cancer risk, uterine cancer, blood clots, and cardiovascular disease. We assess these risks individually and monitor you closely throughout treatment.
Synthetic hormones are often structurally different from human hormones. Bioidentical hormones are made to match the body’s own endogenous progesterone and estrogen for a more natural fit.
Yes. Studies suggest that bioidentical hormone replacement can help maintain or improve bone mineral density in postmenopausal women, reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
Salivary hormone levels may offer insight into how hormones behave at the tissue level. However, we often pair it with serum hormone levels for a fuller picture.
