Personalized Hormone Plans
What's actually behind how you've been feeling?
Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone each affect different parts of how you feel day to day, from energy and mood to sleep and libido. As levels shift during perimenopause and menopause, women often notice hot flashes, brain fog, mood swings, and changes they're told are simply “part of getting older.”
Hormones are rarely the whole story on their own, which is why we look at your full health history, not just one number. The goal isn't to chase a single lab value. It's to build a plan around how you actually feel and function
WHAT WE TREAT
Women's Health Concerns We Evaluate and Treat
Three areas come up most often in Women's Health visits. Here's how we approach each one.
HORMONE BALANCE
Estrogen, Progesterone & Testosterone
Estrogen affects energy, brain function, mood, bone health, and more. Progesterone supports sleep, mood stability, and cycle regulation. Women naturally produce testosterone too, and restoring it to a healthy range, not pushing it high, supports libido, energy, and mental clarity.
LIFE STAGE CARE
Perimenopause & Menopause
Perimenopause can start in your late 30s and bring irregular periods, sleep issues, anxiety, and brain fog, often without women connecting it to their hormones. Menopause, diagnosed after 12 months without a cycle, brings its own set of symptoms. We help you understand which stage you're in and what that means for your plan.
SYMPTOM RELIEF
Hormone Therapy Options
Depending on your symptoms and goals, treatment may include estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone therapy, often used together rather than in isolation. Not every woman needs every hormone. Your plan is built around your specific symptoms, not a standard protocol.
WHAT TO EXPECT
How a Women's Health Evaluation Works
Most first visits follow the same simple arc.
Wondering if perimenopause is behind your symptoms?
The honest answer depends on your specific history and where you are in the transition. The simplest next step is a conversation, schedule a visit and we'll start with a full evaluation, not a single lab value.
QUESTIONS
What Patients Ask About Women's Health
Am I too young for perimenopause?
Perimenopause can start in your late 30s, which surprises a lot of women. If you're noticing irregular periods, mood changes, or new sleep issues in your late 30s or 40s, it's worth bringing up at your next visit rather than waiting it out.
What's the difference between bioidentical and synthetic hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones your body produces naturally, while synthetic versions are chemically different. We'll walk through which option fits your situation during your evaluation, since the right choice depends on your symptoms and health history.
How soon will I feel better?
Some women notice changes in sleep, mood, or hot flashes within a few weeks of starting treatment, while other improvements, like energy and brain fog, can take a few months. We check in along the way to adjust your plan as needed.
Do I need lab work?
Most women benefit from lab testing to get a clear picture of hormone levels before starting treatment. It gives us a baseline and helps track how your plan is working over time.
