What is Hormone Therapy?
Hormone therapy (HRT) helps restore optimal levels of key hormones that naturally decline during perimenopause and menopause. The goal is long-term health, disease prevention, and improved quality of life, not just symptom relief.
Estrogen
Supports mood, sleep, bone health, skin elasticity, heart health, and more.
Progesterone
Promotes restful sleep, reduces anxiety, and balances estrogen for optimal health.
Testosterone
Supports libido, energy, muscle strength, mood, and cognitive function.
Hormone therapy can be delivered in several forms including creams, patches, oral medications, pellets, injections, and vaginal estrogen, depending on your needs and preferences.
