Sonia Soprenuk: How BHRT Therapy with Dr. Fliedner Helped an Ironman Athlete Break Limits
When people talk about strength and perseverance, Sonia Soprenuk’s story shines brightly. A world-class Ironman athlete with more than a decade of accomplishments, she has proven that setbacks—even devastating ones—don’t have to define your future.
Her defining test came in March 2017, when she was rear-ended by a car while cycling. The crash left her with serious injuries, and after months of rehab, her therapists told her, “Sonia, we can’t do any more for you,” gently suggesting her Ironman days were behind her.
But Sonia wasn’t ready to hang up her titles. Running is her passion. She pushed beyond the limits of rehab, determined to keep competing. By December 2019, when she felt her progress had plateaued, she turned to Dr. Fliedner for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Many of her friends had shared their positive experiences with bioidentical hormone therapy, and she decided to partner with Dr. Fliedner. Together, after consultation and discussing Sonia’s goals, Dr. Fliedner prescribed BHRT pellet therapy. The results speak for themselves.
Breaking Through the Ceiling with BHRT
Sonia shares that the difference in her well being was immediate and undeniable. Within months of starting BHRT pellet therapy with Dr. Fliedner, Sonia felt her energy surge back to life. Intimacy and passion returned—“I enjoyed sex again,” she laughed. “My husband is afraid of me now.”
But the impact reached far beyond her personal life. Recovery improved, stamina increased, and she found herself training with the same drive she had years earlier. For Sonia, BHRT wasn’t just about endurance as an athlete—it gave her the vitality to keep chasing her passion for competition and to reach new heights she once thought were out of reach.
World-Class Results With Renewed Vitality
With renewed strength and balance from BHRT therapy in Flower Mound, Sonia pushed far past what she once thought was possible. Here’s what she was able to accomplish after the accident:
- 2019: 3rd place in Ironman Texas, qualifying for the Ironman World Championship in Kona.
- 2019: Completed the Kona World Championship.
- 2023 (age 60): Reached her dream of completing 10 Ironman races, including Kona again.
- 2022: Narrowly missed the podium in Ironman Barcelona, finishing 4th.
- 2025: Achieved her European podium dream at Ironman France, finishing 2nd in her age group and qualifying again for Kona.
In total, Sonia has completed 11 full-distance Ironman races worldwide: Florida, Austria, Mallorca, Texas (three times), Cozumel, Barcelona, France, and Kona (twice). And she’s not finished — Ironman Texas and Ironman Italy are already on her 2026 calendar.
Sonia Soprenuk’s Advice to Women
Sonia’s story isn’t just about races or medals. It’s about what happens when you don’t give in and when your body gets the proper medical support.
“My advice for women is simple: discover your passion and go after it, even when it feels impossible. For me, that meant training for Ironman races after everyone told me to quit. The truth is, real growth and accomplishment only happen when you’re willing to step beyond your comfort zone.” — Sonia Soprenuk
