Hormone Replacement Therapy
Dr. Nacouzi has completed advanced certification in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) in less than five years. Since then, he has successfully treated numerous patients, providing them with new hope and better health outcomes. As the first Advanced BHRT physician in the Raleigh area, trained by Dr. Neal Rouzier, Dr. Nacouzi is at the forefront of hormone therapy treatment.
What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), also referred to as bioidentical hormone therapy or natural hormone therapy, involves the use of hormones that are identical in molecular structure to the ones your body naturally produces. This therapy is designed to restore hormonal balance and alleviate symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances, including those related to menopause, perimenopause, and andropause (low testosterone in men).
How Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Works
Hormonal imbalances can cause a wide range of physical and emotional symptoms, but with a simple blood test, Dr. Nacouzi can determine your specific hormone levels. Once identified, he works with a compounding pharmacy to create a customized hormone therapy plan tailored to your individual needs. BHRT can help you regain hormonal balance and improve your overall quality of life.
Benefits of BHRT for Women and Men
BHRT is beneficial for both women and men experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance. For women, it can relieve menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness, while also reducing the risk of osteoporosis. For men, BHRT can treat symptoms of low testosterone, such as erectile dysfunction, reduced muscle mass, and mood changes.

Estrogens: Estrogen therapy is typically prescribed for women experiencing symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Balancing estrogen levels can also help protect against osteoporosis and support cardiovascular health.
Progesterone: Progesterone is often prescribed in combination with estrogen to help balance the effects of estrogen in women. It can help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce the risk of endometrial cancer, and alleviate symptoms of perimenopause.
