Feeling constantly fatigued, struggling with weight gain, or noticing changes in mood and focus? You’re not alone. Hormone imbalances can impact men and women of all ages, affecting everything from energy and muscle tone to sleep and sexual health. At Ivory Wellness, now conveniently located in River Forest, we’re proud to offer safe, science-backed Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) services - customized for your unique needs and life stage.
Why Choose Hormone Optimization?
For men and women in Chicago, Oak Park, River Forest, and the surrounding suburbs, hormone health is foundational for a vibrant, healthy lifestyle. Common signs of hormonal imbalance include:
Low energy, poor sleep, and brain fog
Muscle loss, weight gain, and stubborn belly fat
Decreased libido, mood changes, and irritability
Night sweats, hot flashes, or hair loss
Left untreated, these symptoms can drag down confidence and quality of life. At Ivory Wellness, our multidisciplinary team offers modern HRT and BHRT that restore balance naturally so you can look, feel, and perform your best.
Why is BHRT Superior for Hormone Optimization?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) stands apart as a modern, natural approach to hormone balance that offers advantages traditional hormone therapies often cannot match. Unlike synthetic hormones used in many conventional treatments, BHRT uses hormones that are chemically identical to those your body produces naturally. Derived from plant sources like yams or soy, these bioidentical hormones provide a more seamless and effective way to restore optimal hormone levels.
Natural and Customized
Since BHRT hormones match your body’s own chemical structure, treatments are highly customizable to your unique hormone profile. At Ivory Wellness, personalized blood testing guides precise dosing, reducing the risk of side effects and improving efficacy. This tailored approach means your therapy feels natural and works with your body, not against it.
Steady Hormone Delivery
BHRT often uses pellet therapy, where tiny hormone pellets are inserted under the skin to release a consistent dose over several months. This steady release maintains balanced levels day and night, avoiding the peaks and troughs common with creams or pills. The result is better mood stability, more energy, and hormone symptom relief.
Improved Symptom Relief
Patients report superior management of menopausal or andropausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, fatigue, and decreased libido. BHRT also supports stronger bones, healthier skin, and better cognitive function, all contributing to enhanced quality of life.
Long-Lasting and Convenient
With treatment intervals typically every 3 to 6 months, BHRT pellet therapy offers a low-maintenance solution that fits comfortably into your lifestyle. Fewer clinic visits and consistent results mean less hassle and more freedom.

How BHRT Works: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Hormone Optimization
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a personalized solution for hormone imbalance, restoring vitality with safe, proven techniques. Here’s how the BHRT Pellet Therapy process works at Ivory Wellness for residents of River Forest, Oak Park, Chicago, and nearby suburbs:
Step 1: Testing
Comprehensive bloodwork evaluates your current hormone levels and helps your provider customize the optimal dose of bioidentical hormone pellets. Many insurance plans cover this important initial testing.
Step 2: Consultation
Sit down with an Ivory Wellness expert for an in-depth discussion of your symptoms, goals, and medical history. Together, you’ll decide if pellet therapy is right for you and develop a tailored wellness strategy.
Step 3: Preparation
Using your individual test results, your provider crafts a precise treatment plan and sources the highest quality, plant-derived pellets for your needs.
Step 4: Procedure
During a quick in-office visit, you’ll receive local anesthesia at the insertion site (typically the upper hip or buttock). Your provider makes a tiny incision, then places the hormone pellet under your skin using a specialized trocar for minimal discomfort. The process takes only a few minutes, with virtually no downtime or scarring.
Step 5: Follow-Up
After your procedure, regular check-ins and lab tests ensure your therapy is working and your hormones are well-balanced. Your wellness team will adjust your dose if needed to keep you feeling your best.
Step 6: Maintenance
Hormone pellets release a steady dose of hormones over 3-6 months, depending on your body’s needs. When it’s time, you’ll return for a new pellet to maintain consistent, optimal results.

How Much Does Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) Cost?
The cost of BHRT varies depending on factors such as your personalized treatment plan, hormone formulations, frequency of monitoring, and the method of hormone delivery.
At Ivory Wellness, we tailor your therapy to your unique hormone profile and wellness goals, which may affect overall pricing.
For female patients, hormone pellet therapy typically costs $450 every 3 months. This price does not include progesterone, supplements, bloodwork, or consultation fees. For males, pellet therapy ranges from $800 to $850 every 5 months, exclusive of consultation, bloodwork, or supplements.
Alternatively, creams or injections for both males and females are available through a membership program at $150 per month. This monthly fee includes testosterone creams and/or progesterone/estrogen creams, subsequent follow-up visits, and a monthly B12 injection. It does not include consultation, bloodwork, or supplements.
Typically, patients can expect to invest from as little as $70 per month for compounded BHRT, which may often involve hormone pellets or customized formulations. This estimate usually covers the medication costs but may not include initial consultations, lab testing, or follow-up visits. Insurance plans often cover or partially cover initial bloodwork.
While some hormone products and services may require out-of-pocket payment, many clients find that improved energy, mood, and quality of life make the investment well worth it.
