Hormone wellness

Hormone therapy is a treatment to relieve symptoms of menopause. It’s also known as menopausal hormone therapy and estrogen replacement therapy. 

Like the name says, hormone replacement therapy replaces hormones that are at a lower level when menopause begins: estrogen, progesterone, or both. Because hormones control anxiety, appetite, body temperature, brain function, heart rate, metabolism, mood, sleep cycles, sexual function, stress, urination, and really everything, imbalances (too low or too high) can lead to uncomfortable (at best) and disruptive symptoms. 

To restore balance, there are different combinations of hormones and different ways to take them: creams, patches, pills, and more.  

Signs to be aware of:

• Not sleeping well or at all 
• Having hot flashes and/or night sweats 
• Having joint, muscle, and/or body aches 
• Hearing from friends and family that you’re acting or reacting unusually  
• Feeling low in energy, or feeling like you can't be as active as normal 
• Feeling like you’re not as productive as normal 
• Getting upset by things that would not normally upset you 
• Feeling like you’re not in control of your body or emotions  
• Having problems with memory, thinking, speaking, working  
• Having discomfort with sexual activity 
• Having any discomfort that is persistent and not resolving 
• Wondering ‘why is this happening to me?’ 

These symptoms and more are common. But you do not need to tolerate them. We can validate your experience, evaluate your symptoms, and work with you to find a treatment that’s best for you.
