Hormone Therapy at DLHC

At Dynamic Life Health Center, we create customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapies (BHRT) to help our patients restore balance when their estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or thyroid levels fluctuate due to age, menopause, andropause, and other underlying conditions. By addressing the root causes, we can alleviate symptoms such as:

  • Hot Flashes

  • Brain Fog

  • Vaginal Dryness

  • Erectile Dysfunction

  • Decreased Sex Drive

  • Insomnia

  • Fatigue

  • Low Muscle Mass

Benefits of BHRT

Stay Balanced

Think Clearer

Hormonal balance greatly enhances your sleep quality, overall mood and improves your focus and clarity.

Look & Feel Younger

Stabilized testosterone and estrogen levels can help improve your skin’s elasticity and retain muscle definition.

Stay Energized

Patients often report higher energy levels, increased libido, and improved motivation after achieving hormonal balance.

BHRT vs. HRT

The Advantage of BHRT

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) differ in their source, formula, and how they interact with the body.

Traditional HRT uses synthetic or animal-derived hormones that are similar—but not identical—to those your body naturally produces. People have treated menopause symptoms with these hormones for decades. While it can work effectively, traditional HRT can sometimes lead to unwanted side effects because of its structural differences from the body’s natural hormones.

BHRT, on the other hand, uses bioidentical hormone pellets that are chemically identical to hormones naturally produced by the human body. These hormones, including bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, derive from plant sources such as yams and soy. We custom-compound pellets to match each patient’s specific needs. Because BHRT mimics the body’s natural hormones, patients generally tolerate it better, and it offers a more personal approach.

At Dynamic Life Health Center, we prioritize individualized care with BHRT, offering bioidentical hormone pellet therapy in Southlake, along with oral medication, creams, patches, triturates, and injections—all with the goal of achieving optimal hormonal balance and long-term well-being.

Diagnosis

Identifying Hormonal Imbalance

In order to truly balance your hormones so you can feel your best, we run comprehensive diagnostic testing to understand your whole-body health. We are committed to providing the most comprehensive care to help you live your best life.

Benefits of Pellet Therapy

While pellet therapy has recently grown in popularity, practitioners have actually used this treatment for almost 70 years. Of course, both the medications and the administration methods have evolved considerably over time to meet the needs of patients!

We insert pellets every 3 to 4 months for women and every 5 to 6 months for men. Once placed, pellets dissolve naturally over that period of time, releasing a steady dose of hormones over the pellet’s life.

Pellets are ideal for people on the go, those who travel a lot, or patients who simply don’t want to take hormones every day. As another advantage, your tissues can directly absorb hormones released from pellets—they do not have to go through your digestive system for processing. After insertion, you usually begin to experience relief from your hormonal symptoms within three weeks.

Pellets have no one-size-fits-all dosage; we compound each specifically for you based on your lab results and symptoms. Since each pellet is only about the size of a Tic-Tac, we insert it into the hip/buttocks area under a local anesthetic. The procedure only takes about 20 to 30 minutes. You may feel some slight tenderness after the anesthetic wears off. We do recommend that women avoid strenuous activity for 2 days and men for 7 days to minimize the chances of dislodging the pellet.

    I am more than pleased that I’ve found Dr. Berutti! She is my personal physician as well as my anti-aging doctor. She is Board-Certified in both Internal Medicine as well as Anti-Aging Medicine. Plus, she is a DO which is very important to me. She understands and believes in a holistic approach to health. I first visited Dr. Berutti in November 2016. After a course of tests – bone density, extensive blood work, and breast exam, etc. she began my bio-identical hormone treatment in February 2017. In a matter of 3 weeks, I began to feel more energetic, happier and stronger. My skin and hair both got softer and healthier. I have absolutely no aches and pains and for the first time in years, I am enjoying being more active…desiring to work out! My husband is hoping to jump on the HRT bandwagon soon. He has seen the changes in me and will be visiting Dr. Berutti in July. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Berutti … she listens, she cares and most of all she delivers!

    I have been a patient of Dr. Berutti's for about 9 months and I have most definitely improved my heath and quality of life since I first saw her as a patient and began her recommendations and medical guidance for Hormone Replacement Therapy. I find Dr. Berutti extremely thorough and very specialized in this area of medical treatment. She understands how to balance hormones throughout the body and she is not a doctor that prescribes a one size fits all treatment plan. It takes time to get everything back in balance and I would encourage anyone that seeks this type of treatment to be patient and follow her advise and recommendations. It takes time to get dosages correct and everything in balance. NO more hot flashes for me. My energy level is so much better. Everything is better. I hope that she will continue to be my "anti-aging hormone balance" doctor for many, many years to come. She is truly the best and I highly recommend her.

    I just wanted to say hello and THANK YOU for all you have done for Ruth and me over the years. We are doing well and thanks to your help, support and kindness when we were at our lowest point and ready to give up. We were able to get through the roughest time in our lives in part to your help and support. You came to our aid and supported us when we were ready to throw in the towel. We sure miss you and hope you are doing well. As we enter the Thanksgiving season, I wanted to make sure I said THANK YOU to one of the kindest people I have ever met. You were always more than just a doctor, you are our caregiver, wizard of all things big and small and most of all a friend. I will never forget you and all that you did for us.

    Excellent care!! Started with Dr. Berutti 2 years ago. Vast knowledge. Another doctor who attended medical school with her told me, “She is very smart, you can trust anything she tells you,” and indeed I do. I went to her depressed, lethargic (could hardly get out of bed), no energy, no stamina, feeling arthritic, failing memory, aggressive at times, and the list goes on & on. I live 100 miles away, so every appointment after the first was via telephone conference (very convenient.) Dr. Berutti is very personable, pays constant attention to details, sincerely interested in what she can do to give you a dynamic life! We started with an extensive and lengthy interview (1+ hours), followed by a barrage of tests near home (blood, saliva, mammo, pap, history questionnaire, bone density, etc.) Everything but fingerprints!! Now I feel and act much, much better. Hard to explain what it’s like to live joyously again.... My deepest Gratitude to Dr. Lyn Berutti.
