Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
At McKenzie’s Compounding Chemist, we deliver personalised compounded bioidentical hormone therapy, as well as hormone replacement therapy in Perth. Because hormonal health is highly individual, we compound custom BHRT solutions using pharmaceutical-grade ingredients – designed to restore balance and support your wellbeing safely and naturally.
What is Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced in the human body. These may include estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and others. BHRT aims to replace declining hormone levels due to aging, menopause, perimenopause, or other hormonal imbalances, to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
Unlike non-identical or synthetic hormones, bio-identical hormones are crafted to match the body’s own hormones, allowing for more fine-tuned dosing, potentially fewer side effects, and better patient tolerance.
Why Choose Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy at Mckenzies?
When it comes to bioidentical hormone therapy, one size does not fit all. At McKenzies Compounding Chemist, we offer a tailored approach that standard formulations often can’t provide:
- Customised doses & forms: We can adjust strength, hormone combinations, and delivery methods (creams, gels, capsules, troches, pellets, etc.).
- Optimised combinations: We work with your doctor/GP to combine hormones in the proportions best suited to your body.
- Improved symptom control– More precise dosing often results in better relief of symptoms and fewer side effects.
- Supportive oversight & collaboration– We liaise with doctors and medical specialists to ensure safe, evidence-based treatment plans.
Tailored Bio-identical Hormone Therapy for Balanced Wellbeing
From menopause and perimenopause to low testosterone, our tailored bio-identical hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) services support a wide range of hormone-related needs. We understand that standard, one-size-fits-all treatments don’t always offer the best solution.
That’s why we create compounded hormones and custom-compounded bio-identical hormone formulations, carefully adjusting hormone types, strengths, and delivery methods to match each individual’s unique biology. The result is a more natural, precise, and effective approach to restoring hormonal balance and helping you feel your best.

Personalised Applications of BHRT at McKenzies
Menopause & Postmenopause
Declining oestrogen and progesterone levels can lead to hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and bone density loss. Our compounded BHRT formulations help restore hormonal balance, relieve uncomfortable symptoms, and support long-term health and well-being.
Perimenopause & Hormonal Transition
During perimenopause, hormone fluctuations often trigger irregular cycles, irritability, and sleep disturbance. BHRT can provide steady hormone support to ease these transitions, promoting emotional stability, restful sleep, and improved overall comfort.
Low Testosterone in Men (Andropause)
As men age, testosterone levels naturally decrease, which can cause fatigue, low libido, reduced muscle mass, and difficulty concentrating. Our tailored testosterone formulations help restore hormonal balance, enhance energy and vitality, and support overall well-being under medical supervision.
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) & PMDD
Some women experience significant mood and physical symptoms before their period due to hormonal imbalances. Customised BHRT may help stabilise hormone levels, reducing bloating, mood swings, and irritability to support daily comfort and emotional balance.
Post-Hysterectomy or Surgical Menopause
For women who have had their ovaries removed or undergone a hysterectomy, hormone levels can drop suddenly. BHRT can help restore oestrogen and progesterone balance, easing symptoms such as hot flushes, fatigue, and vaginal dryness, while supporting bone and cardiovascular health.
Postpartum Hormonal Support
After childbirth, hormone levels can fluctuate significantly, sometimes leading to fatigue or mood changes. Under specialist guidance, BHRT can help gently rebalance progesterone and oestrogen levels to support recovery and emotional wellbeing.
Vaginal & Urogenital Health
Localised BHRT, such as compounded oestrogen creams or pessaries, can help relieve symptoms of vaginal dryness, itching, or discomfort. These formulations support tissue elasticity, hydration, and urogenital comfort, particularly after menopause.
Bone Health & Osteoporosis Prevention
Oestrogen and testosterone both play a key role in maintaining bone strength. Restoring healthy hormone levels through BHRT may help reduce the rate of bone loss, supporting long-term skeletal health and reducing fracture risk.
Mood, Energy & Cognitive Function
Many patients report improved mood, sharper focus, and better energy levels once their hormone balance is restored. BHRT may help support emotional stability and overall quality of life by addressing underlying hormonal deficiencies that affect brain and nervous system function.
Skin, Hair & Vitality
Hormones such as oestrogen and DHEA contribute to skin elasticity and hair health. Balanced hormone levels can support a more youthful appearance, improved skin tone, and healthier hair growth, contributing to overall vitality and confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bio-identical HRT refers to hormones that are chemically identical to the body’s natural hormones, regardless of how they’re made.
Compounded HRT is a customised form of BHRT, prepared by a compounding pharmacy to match an individual’s exact hormone needs, dosage, and delivery method.
In short, all compounded HRT is bio-identical, but not all bio-identical HRT is compounded.
BHRT is not suitable for everyone.
It may not be recommended if you:
- Have a history of ovarian, uterine or breast cancer
- Have unexplained vaginal bleeding
- Have a history of blood clots, stroke, or liver disease
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Each person’s situation is unique, so it’s important to consult your doctor and have appropriate testing before starting any hormone therapy.
Weight changes during menopause are common, but they’re usually linked to hormonal shifts, metabolism, and lifestyle – not directly to BHRT.
By restoring hormone balance, bio-identical hormones may actually help support healthy weight management for some people. Results vary, so maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise remains key to overall well-being.
There is no set age at which a woman must stop taking BHRT!
Treatment decisions depend on overall health, symptoms, and personal preference. Some women choose to continue BHRT into their 60s or 70s under medical supervision, while others taper off sooner. Your doctor will help assess benefits and risks as you age to determine the best approach for you.
Menopause is a natural stage of life, and many women manage it without treatment. However, some experience symptoms that can greatly affect daily comfort and well-being. BHRT can help ease these symptoms by restoring hormonal balance and improving sleep, mood, and overall quality of life.
The right approach depends on your individual health and preferences, and should always be discussed with your doctor.
