Solutions for her

Testosterone is the most abundant sex hormone in women. Yes, you read that correctly- women have more testosterone than they do estrogen. This isn’t immediately obvious, as estrogen and testosterone are typically measured in different units; however, when adjusted to the same scale, women have significantly higher levels of testosterone than they do estrogen. Beyond that, virtually all estrogen is derived chemically from testosterone (or a similar androgen precursor).

​

Testosterone levels peak in a woman's 20s and begin to decline thereafter.  Our testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for women is designed to restore optimal levels, promoting hormonal balance, vitality, and long-term well-being. With a personalized approach, we tailor treatment to deliver natural-feeling results while aiming to minimize unwanted side effects.​

Symptoms of menopause can begin well before menstrual cycles become irregular. Progesterone is typically the first hormone to decline, sometimes as early as the late 30s, affecting mood and sleep patterns. Lesser-known symptoms of perimenopause may include brain fog, sleep disturbances, dry eyes, dry mouth, and joint pain, in addition to more commonly recognized signs like hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and weight gain, which often emerge as cycles become irregular. Perimenopause is a complex transition marked by fluctuating hormone levels, making it a challenging time for many women. Hormone therapy is the most effective way to manage many of the most common perimenopausal symptoms, and treatment may need to be fine-tuned over time to align with changing needs as the menopause transition progresses.

Menopause is defined as 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period.

​

After menopause, hormone levels drop significantly. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) initiated within 10 years of menopause has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis-related fractures, and death.

Without hormone management, menopause symptoms can persist for years. As hormone levels remain low, genitourinary symptoms (e.g., incontinence, vaginal dryness, vaginal atrophy, recurrent urinary tract infections), osteoporosis, and changes to skin, hair, and body composition become more common.
