Progress Your Health Podcast

Maria’s Question:  Hello, I’ve been reading the articles on BHRT, and I have questions. Does the body or will the body develop tolerance to hormones? Whether progesterone, testosterone or estrogens, will I eventually have to increase my dose to get the same effect, progesterone for sleep, estrogen for hot flashes, testosterone for energy and libido… Thank you very much. Short Answer:  There are many factors that go into a BHRT dosage for a patient. This includes age, gender, lifestyle, stress level, and severity of symptoms. Typically, when we work with a patient, their BHRT dosage will increase over time. A patient does not necessarily develop a tolerance to bioidentical hormones; however, a lower starting dosage may not be effective to manage symptoms and a slight increase may be needed.
