Aesthetic and Longevity Medicine
Optimizing Your Hormones, Elevating Your Life
At The Godley Clinic, we believe in empowering individuals to not only look good on the outside but also feel amazing on the inside. Our unique approach blends aesthetic medicine with longevity medicine, focusing on optimizing your hormones as they evolve with the aging process. It’s not just about how long you live — it’s about the quality of life you enjoy every day.
Why Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
As we age, our natural hormone production declines, leading to imbalances that can affect how we feel, function, and age. HRT focuses on restoring these hormones to optimal levels, helping you regain balance, energy, and vitality.
Think of your hormones as your body’s garden – balance them, and optimal health blooms.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can bioidentical hormone replacement therapy help with weight loss?
Yes, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can support weight management as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Hormonal imbalances, especially during menopause, can contribute to weight gain by slowing metabolism and increasing fat storage. By balancing key hormones, BHRT can improve metabolic function and energy levels, making it easier to manage weight. However, BHRT is most effective when combined with a healthy lifestyle, including balanced nutrition and regular physical activity.
Is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy safe?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is generally considered safe when prescribed and monitored by a qualified healthcare provider. At The Godley Clinic, we carefully evaluate each patient’s medical history, hormone levels, and overall health to create a personalized and safe treatment plan. Dr. Godley uses advanced testing and follows best practices, including avoiding oral estrogen and testosterone, to minimize risks and enhance the effectiveness of therapy.
How long does it take to see results with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
The timeline for results varies by individual. Many patients begin to notice improvements in symptoms, such as energy levels, mood, and sleep quality, within a few weeks. However, full benefits—including improved skin elasticity, weight management, and reduced hot flashes—may take a few months as hormone levels stabilize. Consistent follow-up with your provider ensures optimal results.
What symptoms can bioidentical hormone replacement therapy address?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is highly effective in managing a variety of symptoms related to hormonal imbalances, such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, brain fog, fatigue, decreased libido, weight gain, and skin changes. This therapy not only helps alleviate symptoms associated with perimenopause, menopause, and andropause (in men), but also has a positive impact on your skin, hair, and overall wellness. By balancing your hormones, BHRT can lead to healthier, more radiant skin, stronger, shinier hair, and a general sense of well-being, helping you look and feel your best.
How is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy different from traditional hormone therapy?
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body, which allows for a closer match to your body’s hormonal profile. Traditional hormone therapy may use synthetic or animal-derived hormones, which can sometimes lead to different effects and tolerability. At The Godley Clinic, we use bioidentical hormones to offer a more natural and individualized approach to hormone balancing.
What is involved in the BHRT testing and treatment process?
The BHRT process starts with a comprehensive consultation and advanced testing, such as urine, blood, and saliva tests, to measure hormone, thyroid, and adrenal levels. Based on your unique results, a customized treatment plan is created, which may include hormone therapy, supplements, IV therapy, and lifestyle recommendations to optimize your overall health.
Are there any side effects to bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
While BHRT is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience mild side effects as their body adjusts, such as temporary bloating, headaches, or mood changes. Our approach at The Godley Clinic includes regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust dosages if needed to minimize any adverse effects.
Who is a good candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
Good candidates for BHRT include individuals experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as those in perimenopause, menopause, or andropause. It is also suitable for people looking to improve energy, mental clarity, skin health, and overall well-being. However, a thorough medical evaluation is necessary to determine if BHRT is appropriate based on individual health factors.
How long do I need to stay on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
The duration of BHRT varies depending on each patient’s goals, symptoms, and response to treatment. Some may benefit from short-term therapy to address acute symptoms, while others may continue longer for ongoing support. We regularly assess your progress to determine the best course for your needs.
Can men benefit from bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
Yes, men can also benefit from BHRT. Andropause, or age-related hormonal decline in men, often leads to symptoms like fatigue, muscle loss, decreased libido, weight gain, and mood changes. Bioidentical hormone therapy can help men regain energy, muscle mass, mental clarity, and overall vitality.
