Discover how hormone balance can support a healthier heart at Renewed Vitality MD
A healthy heart keeps you going strong, gives you energy for daily activities, and helps you live longer. When your heart is healthy, your whole body works better.
Yet, as we age, our hormone levels change. These changes happen during menopause for women and andropause for men. And a drop in hormone levels can put extra strain on the heart, increasing the risk of high blood pressure, cholesterol issues, and other heart-related conditions.
At Renewed Vitality MD, our Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) helps restore balance in your body. This therapy can support heart health and help you feel your best again.
Latest Research (2024): Hormone Therapy Improves Heart Health
New research presented at the 2024 Annual Meeting of The Menopause Society in Chicago has revealed important findings about hormone therapy:
- Studies show that extended use of hormone therapies can improve markers of cardiovascular health during menopause.
- A large meta-analysis found that hormone therapy helps improve insulin sensitivity by restoring estrogen levels.
- These findings add to growing evidence that properly prescribed hormone therapy offers significant heart-protective benefits.

Understanding Heart Health & Hormones
As we age, our hearts don’t work as well as they used to. This happens partly because our hormone levels change.
Here’s how hormones affect heart function:
- Estrogen helps keep your arteries flexible and helps balance your cholesterol levels.
- Testosterone maintains muscle strength, including the heart, and helps with fat metabolism.
- Progesterone has anti-inflammatory properties that support overall cardiovascular health.
When hormone levels are too low or imbalanced, the body struggles to regulate blood pressure, cholesterol, and circulation—all of which impact the heart.
Research Shows:
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that women who start hormone therapy within 6 years of menopause showed a 30% lower risk of heart disease compared to those who didn’t receive treatment.
What is BHRT?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a natural way to restore hormone levels and support long-term heart health.
Unlike traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT), BHRT uses plant-based hormones that are nearly identical to the ones your body naturally produces. This means:
- Fewer unwanted side effects
- Treatments tailored to your specific needs
- More natural approach to hormone balance
At Renewed Vitality MD, we customize BHRT treatments to fit your unique needs, helping you feel healthier, stronger, and more energetic.
Scientific Support:
Research published in Maturitas found that bioidentical hormones showed better cardiovascular outcomes compared to synthetic hormones, with improvements in blood vessel function and inflammatory markers.
How BHRT Can Support Your Heart Health
- Helps balance cholesterol by increasing good cholesterol (HDL) and lowering bad cholesterol (LDL)
- May reduce plaque buildup in your arteries
- Improves how your blood vessels work
- Supports healthy weight and metabolism, taking strain off your heart
- Can boost your energy levels, helping you stay active
- Improves insulin sensitivity, which helps protect heart health
At Renewed Vitality MD, we take a comprehensive approach to hormone therapy, ensuring that your heart stays as healthy as possible.
Who Can Benefit Most from BHRT?
- Women going through menopause or perimenopause with symptoms like tiredness, weight gain, or heart concerns
- Men dealing with low testosterone (Low T) and increased heart disease risk
- People who want natural, customized hormone therapy instead of synthetic treatments
Clinical Evidence:
A 2022 study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism showed that properly dosed estrogen therapy improved arterial function and reduced coronary calcium scores in postmenopausal women.
