What is HRT?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a personalized treatment approach designed to replenish hormones that naturally decline during menopause. By restoring optimal levels of estrogen and progesterone, HRT may help support sleep, mood energy , cognitive function, body composition, and overall quality of life. Together, these therapies help women navigate menopause with greater balance, comfort, and confidence.
What Hormones do we offer and how do they help?
Estradiol is the hormone responsible for regulating temperature, protecting bones, supporting mood, maintaining skin elasticity, and keeping metabolism running efficiently.
Progesterone declines earlier and faster than estrogen, and its loss is felt most acutely in sleep quality and nervous system stability.
The precursor to nearly every major steroid hormone in the body, pregnenolone supports the hormonal raw material the body increasingly struggles to produce.
DHEA is the precursor to both estrogen and testosterone, hormones that together maintain lean muscle mass, libido, and metabolic drive.
Symptoms We Help Treat
Night sweats are hot flashes that occur while sleeping. Estrogen keeps the brain's temperature control system calm. When it drops, that system overreacts, waking the body in a sweat.
Hot flashes start in the brain. When estrogen drops, the brain's temperature center misfires, triggering sudden heat, flushing, and rapid heart rate at normal temperatures.
Sexual desire and arousal have direct hormonal drivers. Estrogen maintains tissue sensitivity and lubrication. DHEA supports testosterone production, the hormone most tied to sexual drive, which declines alongside estrogen during menopause.
Poor Sleep- hormonal shifts are a leading driver of disrupted sleep. Progesterone in particular has a calming, sleep-promoting effect via GABA receptors, supporting sleep efficiency and depth.
Mood Swings- Estrogen directly affects serotonin and GABA, the brain chemicals that regulate emotional stability. When estrogen fluctuates, so does mood. The irritability many women feel is neurological, not personal.
Brain Fog-Estrogen receptors sit in the brain regions responsible for memory and focus. When estrogen falls, these regions slow down. Pregnenolone, which also declines with age, may play a supporting role in cognitive function and mental clarity.
Joint Pain-Estrogen has natural anti-inflammatory effects throughout the body, including in joint tissue. When levels fall, inflammation can increase, leading to the aching and stiffness many women notice after menopause.
Weight Gain-Without estrogen, the body's resting metabolism slows, fat accumulates around the abdomen, and insulin sensitivity drops. HRT helps restore what estrogen loss disrupts.
And other concerns with intercourse, muscle tone, and fatigue.
