Women's hormone therapy

For the years when sleep, energy, mood and body composition change and no one can tell you why — we test, explain and treat. Therapy is lab-guided and individualized, with the goal of restoring balance so you can sleep better, feel more energetic and return to a steadier version of yourself.

Overview

What this treatment does.

Perimenopause and menopause are not a personality change. Shifting estrogen, progesterone, thyroid and testosterone levels drive hot flashes, insomnia, brain fog, low libido, joint aches and stubborn midsection weight.

We test rather than guess, then individualize therapy — which may include bioidentical hormone replacement, thyroid correction, and support for sleep and metabolic health.

Dosing is reviewed against symptoms and repeat labs, so treatment is adjusted to how you actually feel, not just to a reference range.

The details, in plain language.

What is bioidentical hormone therapy?

Bioidentical hormones are derived from natural plant sources and are chemically identical to the hormones your body produces. Unlike synthetic hormones, they mirror your own chemistry for a more natural and often better-tolerated response.

Who is it for?

  • Perimenopause and menopause
  • Irregular periods
  • Mood swings or irritability
  • Hot flashes and night sweats
  • Fatigue or low energy
  • Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
  • Low libido
  • Brain fog or memory issues
  • Vaginal dryness or discomfort

Our approach

We start with comprehensive lab testing and an in-depth consultation with our hormone specialist, then build a personalized treatment plan that may include creams, pellets, patches or oral options. We monitor progress closely and adjust as needed.
