Not every provider who offers BHRT has specialized training in it. Here's what separates experienced practitioners from those who dabble.
Board Certification
Look for board-certified physicians in OB/GYN, internal medicine, endocrinology, or family medicine with additional hormone training.
BHRT-Specific Training
Ask about training through organizations like A4M (American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine), ACAM, or Institute for Functional Medicine.
Compounding Pharmacy Relationships
Quality providers work with accredited compounding pharmacies (look for PCAB accreditation) to ensure medication quality.
Comprehensive Testing
A good provider orders thorough baseline bloodwork — not just one or two markers. Expect testing for estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, cortisol, and thyroid.
Follow-Up Protocol
Legitimate BHRT practices include scheduled follow-up visits and re-testing to optimize dosing. Avoid anyone who never adjusts your protocol.
Questions to Ask at Your First Consultation
A confident provider welcomes these questions. Their answers will tell you everything you need to know.
- What hormone testing do you order before starting treatment?
- What delivery methods do you offer, and how do you determine which is right for me?
- Which compounding pharmacy do you use, and is it PCAB-accredited?
- How often will we retest my levels after starting?
- What are the risks I should be aware of for my specific situation?
- Do you work with a functional medicine approach, or is this purely hormone replacement?
- What is your experience with patients at my age and with my symptom profile?
Red Flags to Watch For
- Prescribes without comprehensive baseline testing
- Offers a single one-size-fits-all protocol
- Makes guarantees about specific results
- Pressure to purchase supplements or products from their practice
- No follow-up bloodwork scheduled
- Doesn't explain the risks along with the benefits
