Well, here is a Zrt web page provider search that searches for BHRT pharmacies and doctors:

Plus, personally I find that if I call my local compounding pharmacist that they can steer me towards hormone specialists that use BHRT and hormone testing.
Strontium citrate, and Vit K are the two supplements which are most used for a non-drug approach to managing osteoporosis.
I was diagnosed with osteoporsis years ago. I tried a bisphosphonate and had side effects with which I did not feel that I could live. Plus, the bisphosphonate had not changed my dexa readings for the better in all time in which I had used it. I started strontium citrate and BHRT without alerting my endocrinologist. The first dexa after beginning strontium citrate showed for the first time a significant improvement . My endocrinologist almost skipped into the room . That is when I told him that I was off the bisphosphonate and on strontium citrate. He stopped, sat down pulled up his computer, researched and called some other experts. He told me to change nothing. Dexa after dexa my hard to change femoral numbers increased. Eventually he told me that I did not need him any more. He released me from his practice; told me to change nothing.
My latest Dexa, in December 2025, continued to show normal bone density and now with TBS showed normal bone quality, no side effects , no fractures.
Consider strontium citrate as a non-drug approach to managing osteoporosis.
