Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. As we age, our hormone levels decline, leading to unpleasant symptoms associated with menopause, andropause, thyroid disorders, and other hormone imbalances. Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical versions can help eliminate these symptoms and restore wellbeing.
At Butterfly Hormone Center in Stilwell, we specialize in customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). BHRT safely and effectively treats hormone deficiency using natural hormones derived from plant sources. We offer thyroid, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and other bioidentical hormone therapies tailored to your unique needs.

Bioidentical hormones work by supplementing the depleted hormones your body fails to produce at youthful levels as you age. This restores optimum hormonal balance and alleviates deficiency symptoms.
Here's a quick overview of how key bioidentical hormones work:
Estrogen and progesterone regulate a woman's menstrual cycle and reproductive health. Declining levels during perimenopause and menopause cause hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings and disrupted sleep.
Estrogen therapy replaces the estrogen no longer made by the ovaries. Progesterone therapy helps balance estrogen's effects in the body. Together, balanced bioidentical estrogen and progesterone eliminate menopausal symptoms and restore wellbeing.
Testosterone plays key roles in physical health, sexual function, energy levels and mood in both men and women. Testosterone therapy can reverse declining levels, improving:
Your thyroid gland produces hormones that control metabolism. Low thyroid function causes weight gain, fatigue, muscular weakness and many other symptoms.
Thyroid hormone therapy restores optimal levels of T3 and T4 thyroid hormones. This relieves hypothyroidism symptoms by rebalancing metabolism.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Large, long-term studies comparing health outcomes of bioidenticals versus synthetics are still needed to determine if one is truly superior.
