Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy
Mental and physical discomfort may be due to hormone deficiency.
Hormones are produced by the body to regulate various functions to maintain the body's health.
The body produces as many hormones as it needs, but some of them decrease after middle age. There are also many hormones whose production changes even without aging.
When hormone levels decrease, the body is not producing the amount it needs to stay healthy, and many symptoms can occur. These include tiredness, loss of strength, hot flashes, decreased libido, etc.
Hormone replacement therapy is available to help with these symptoms.
We offer a consultation and treatment with Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy.
By knowing the hormone status through blood tests and by replenishing adequate amounts of appropriate hormones, we can improve symptoms and aim to improve the overall condition and quality of life itself.
What are Natural Hormones?
Natural hormones have the same structure as those made by humans (also called bioidentical hormones).
Usually, the drugs used in hormone replacement therapy are substances synthesized to have nearly the same effect as the hormones that humans make. The structure is different from the original human hormones. However, synthetic hormone replacement therapy can cause side effects such as blood clots and cancer. This is why people misunderstand natural hormone therapy as a terrible idea.
Natural hormones replace hormones that have the same structure as hormones made by humans. They do not cause the side effects caused by synthetic hormones, and we can use them safely.
We do not produce Natural hormones in Japan, so we must import them from the U.S. and other countries.
Yoko Inoue, MD
Deputy Director
Medical Director for BHRT Education and Clinical Support in Japan
As of February 2025, Dr. Yoko Inoue, Deputy Director of our clinic,
has been formally entrusted by Dr. Neal Rouzier—one of the leading educators in
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) in the United States—
to serve as Medical Director for the MRi Hormone Program,
providing BHRT education and clinical support in Japan.
Dr. Inoue completed the full BHRT Training Program (Parts I–IV) under Dr. Rouzier
and has been involved for many years in both clinical practice and physician education,
with a strong focus on the evidence-based application of BHRT.
In recent years, she has also served as a lecturer in educational programs
for physicians in Japan.
This appointment reflects the trust placed in Dr. Inoue to accurately understand,
implement, and further develop the evidence-based educational framework and clinical approach
to BHRT established by Dr. Rouzier, within the context of the Japanese medical system.
At our clinic, we integrate the principles and scientific approach to BHRT
derived from Dr. Rouzier’s extensive clinical and educational experience,
while adapting them appropriately to the Japanese healthcare environment,
with a strong emphasis on safety, evidence, and comprehensive patient-centered care.
In the treatment process, we do blood tests to determine your current hormone status.
A physician well versed in Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy will use blood test data to determine your hormone status and find out what hormones you lack.
We aim to improve your symptoms by replenishing the necessary amounts of the deficient hormones.
