Hormones function as the “mission control” of the human body, dictating so many of the physical changes we experience throughout our lives. As hormonal levels shift, so do our appearances, moods, and more. And it’s not just aging—hormones can become unbalanced as a result of stress, surgery, lack of sleep, an unhealthy diet, and more.
The Preventative Medical Clinic team specializes in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help people from Omaha, Papillion, Council Bluffs, Elkhorn, and Bennington, NE, and nearby areas rebalance their hormones and feel better than they have in years.
At Preventative Medical Clinic, we want your treatment plan to fit comfortably within your budget. Our convenient monthly payment options through Allē, powered by Cherry, give you better access to treatments that help you live your best life on your terms.
BHRT is a protocol that uses exogenous bioidentical hormones to balance the levels in the body. Hormones that are commonly affected by aging and stress include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and growth hormone—all naturally present in both men and women. Fluctuating levels of these hormones can lead to unpleasant physical symptoms, including the following:
Hot flashes
Night sweats
Vaginal dryness
Reduced libido
Painful intercourse
Sleep disturbances
Fatigue
Loss of muscle mass
Weight gain
“Brain fog” or unfocused thoughts
Moodiness
Memory loss

Bioidentical vs. synthetic
Both bioidentical hormones and synthetic hormones are used in hormone therapy. However, we only use bioidentical products at PMC. These naturally derived products are more easily metabolized by the body, and they can be better matched to the individual’s needs. These high-quality products are administered in 1 of the following ways, depending on your needs:
Pellets, which are inserted just beneath the skin several times per year
Transdermal cream, which is prescribed to use at home
Sublingual troches, a lozenge that dissolves beneath the tongue
Injections: Self-administered in the thigh after training from one of our health care providers

For Men| Male growth hormones begin diminishing after about age 20, leading to loss of muscle mass, reduced sex drive, and mood swings. BHRT for men replenishes these hormones to improve the way you look and feel.
For Women| BHRT for women can reduce the symptoms of perimenopause, menopause, and even PMS. We can help improve your libido, reduce weight gain, improve your sleep quality, and more.
Am I a candidate for hormone replacement therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be appropriate if you have symptoms related to changing or low hormone levels, such as fatigue, mood changes, sleep problems, reduced libido, or changes in body composition. Your provider will review your symptoms, health history, and lab results to determine whether treatment is appropriate.
Is hormone replacement therapy safe?
HRT can be safe and effective for appropriately selected patients when prescribed and monitored by a qualified medical provider. Benefits and risks vary based on your health, age, symptoms, and the type of hormone used.
How do I get started with HRT?
The first step is a consultation to discuss your symptoms, goals, and medical history. Your provider may recommend lab testing to evaluate your hormone levels and other health markers before developing a personalized treatment plan.
