A Personal Journey
Sherri’s journey with bioidentical hormones started in 2005 after having a complete hysterectomy in 2003 at a young age. She had already been in the nursing field for nearly 20 years at this time and knew that living without the important hormones that were lost during surgery she would suffer uncomfortable and life altering symptoms. After much research she was able to find the one provider that offered bioidentical hormones in the Omaha area. Her own journey with BHRT inspired her to learn more about the subject and help women in need.

Natural Hormone Replacement Clinic in Omaha
Hormone imbalance can have a serious impact on your quality of life. What’s more, common symptoms of an imbalance may be confused with other conditions, resulting in delayed treatment for the real problem and prolonged discomfort.
Balanced Body Health and Wellness has one goal: to help you be your best possible you! We will work with you to develop a custom care plan to restore your balance so you can get back to the things you enjoy in life.
We use only bio-identical hormones, which are those with a molecular composition most similar to our body’s own hormones. These plant-derived compounds are thought to reduce the likelihood of side effects for patients needing hormone replacement.
