Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can improve sleep by addressing hormone imbalances in the body, particularly in cases where sleep disturbances are related to hormonal issues. Here’s how BHRT may positively impact rest:
BHRT is designed to replace hormones that have declined or become imbalanced due to factors such as aging, menopause, or certain medical conditions. When hormone levels are restored to their natural balance, it can alleviate some of the symptoms that disrupt sleep, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings.

Hot flashes and night sweats are common symptoms of hormonal fluctuations, particularly during menopause. BHRT can help alleviate these symptoms, reducing nighttime awakenings and making it easier to stay asleep.
Hormone imbalances can lead to mood swings, irritability, and anxiety, all of which can interfere with falling and staying asleep. BHRT can help stabilize mood by restoring hormonal equilibrium, which may lead to improved sleep quality.
Hormone imbalances can exacerbate stress and anxiety, which can, in turn, affect sleep. BHRT may help reduce stress and anxiety symptoms, making it easier to relax and fall asleep.
Hormonal imbalances can lead to fatigue and a lack of energy during the day. By restoring hormone levels to a more youthful balance, BHRT can improve daytime energy levels, which may contribute to better sleep at night.
Hormones play a role in cognitive function, and imbalances can lead to brain fog and memory issues, affecting sleep quality. BHRT may help improve cognitive function, allowing for better sleep.
It’s important to note that BHRT is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. Before considering BHRT for sleep improvement, it’s crucial to consult with a provider from your local BodyLogicMD who can assess your specific hormonal needs and recommend an appropriate treatment plan. Additionally, addressing lifestyle factors, sleep hygiene, and stress management alongside BHRT can contribute to the best results in achieving better sleep.

"At 44 I was tired of feeling tired. I wasn't sleeping through the night, waking up with the sweats and just not able to turn my brain off. During the day, I had no energy. The 3 pm slump would hit me like a ton of bricks everyday - no matter how well I had slept the night before. My libido was pretty much zilch and I was seriously moody. Worst of all, don't tell my husband the no libido wasn't the worst, I couldn't lose weight to save my life. After hearing about BodyLogicMD, I decided that something needed...Read More
"I was unable to find a provider who specializes in female hormones through my OBGYN – they just give you the pill which I didn’t want. And, my endocrinologist fell short in this area.

During the course of my treatment, Dr. Weldon has been very quick in responding to all my questions via email which is very convenient. I can write to her when an issue is happening and...Read More
