HRT
Imbalanced hormones can be a nightmare for women and men. But here’s the thing—it happens. Hormone levels change as we age; they’re one of those things nobody thinks about until they get between you and the life you want to live.
Symptoms of a hormone imbalance range from physical (decreased muscle mass and low energy) to sexual (low libido and sexual dysfunction) to emotional (irritability and depression). While many of our patients are over the age of 40, hormonal imbalance or deficiency can happen at any age.
You deserve to live your best life, and we can help make that happen. At Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics, we provide bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in Leawood for women and men looking to feel like themselves again.

What it Treats
Changes due to aging in both men and women, including fatigue, lack of motivation, weight gain, loss of muscle tone, thinning hair, lack of focus, muscle and joint pain, mood changes, poor memory, difficulty sleeping, and low libido.
Specifically in women: painful intercourse, night sweats, hot flashes, migraines, and worsening urinary incontinence.
Personalized Treatments
It all starts with a comprehensive blood panel where we test hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone. Based on your results, we tailor your dosage to your specific, unique needs.
With 3 different administration options, we discuss your preferences between injections, pellets, or oral medications. During your visit, we will discuss which method will work best for your lifestyle.
You can stay on hormone replacement therapy for as long as you would like, continuously experiencing the benefits and youthful vitality that come with this treatment.
Bioidentical is Better
You’ll hear the term “hormone replacement therapy” used quite a bit as a functional medicine treatment, helping patients regain their health and well-being so they can live and thrive at optimal levels. BHRT & HRT most often treat women, helping with symptoms associated with menopause.
However, as a patient, you should know that HRT and BHRT do not necessarily mean the same thing.
What the Hormones Do
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) involves medication(s) containing hormones that rebalance a patient’s hormone levels. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) accomplishes the same goal. The critical differences: where the hormones are sourced and how they match our bodies.
BHRT Hormones
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones that are molecularly identical to natural human hormones. The body can more readily utilize these kinds of hormones with far fewer possible side effects. Bioidentical hormones come from plant sources, commonly including wild yams.
HRT Hormones
Non-bioidentical hormone replacement therapy involves hormones that don’t chemically match our own natural hormones. Estrogen hormones in HRT can be derived from equine sources. For example, Premarin comes from pregnant horse urine.
We are thrilled to announce that progesterone is now available in-house! To take advantage of this convenient and affordable option, simply reach out to us using the contact details below or speak with your provider during your next appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
You might be a good candidate for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) if:
- Hormone imbalances are interfering with your daily life
- Hormonal imbalances are interfering with your sex life
- Menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, trouble sleeping, and decreased libido are keeping you from living life to the fullest
- You have low bone density
- You’re experiencing mood swings or increased irritability
The best way to find out if you’re a good candidate for HRT in Leawood is to schedule your consultation. We’ll check your baseline levels and determine the best course of treatment from there.
For hormone replacement therapy, you can expect to start experiencing results after several weeks. It takes the vast majority of our patients about 8 weeks to function at optimal health.
For testosterone replacement therapy, you might start to experience positive change shortly after beginning treatment (i.e. within the first few weeks).
Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics provides hormone replacement therapy and testosterone replacement therapy in Leawood. So, how do you know which one is for you? Hormone replacement therapy balances estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, while testosterone replacement therapy—you guessed it—focusses exclusively on balancing testosterone levels. Your functional medicine provider will use your consultation and preliminary testing to determine if either of these treatments align with your needs and goals.
