Ep. 205: Bioidentical HRT--Is It Safer or More Effective? What Does the Research Say?!

Ep. 205: Bioidentical HRT--Is It Safer or More Effective? What Does the Research Say?!

Thinking about hormone replacement therapy but unsure what’s right for you? In this episode of the Paloma Health podcast, we’re diving deep into bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)—a treatment option that’s gaining attention for being more aligned with your body’s natural chemistry.


You’ll learn what bioidentical hormones actually are, how they differ from traditional synthetic hormones, and why many experts consider them a gentler and potentially safer alternative.


We’ll break down the science behind BHRT, focusing on commonly used hormones like estradiol and progesterone that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces. We also explore why the delivery method—especially transdermal options like patches or gels—matters for both effectiveness and safety, potentially reducing the risk of blood clots, heart disease, and breast cancer compared to oral synthetic hormone therapies.


But not all BHRT is created equal. This episode also tackles the controversy around compounded bioidentical hormones, which are custom-made by specialty pharmacies but not FDA-approved. We explain the concerns around quality control, dosing consistency, and regulation—while also acknowledging that for some people, compounded formulations may be necessary.


If you're navigating perimenopause or menopause, this episode will help you better understand your options.
