What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment designed to restore hormonal balance when the body’s natural levels decline or fluctuate. For women, this commonly occurs during perimenopause and menopause and can affect energy, mood, sleep, weight, and overall well-being.
At Optimal Hormone Health, HRT is personalized based on your symptoms, lab results, and health history to support safe, effective, and long-term care.
Symptoms We Treat
Hormonal changes can affect the body in many different ways, and symptoms often look different from one person to the next. You do not need to be in menopause to experience hormone-related concerns.
Women commonly seek care for symptoms such as:
-
Persistent fatigue or low energy
-
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
-
Mood changes, anxiety, or irritability
-
Sleep disruption or insomnia
-
Hot flashes or night sweats
-
Weight changes or difficulty maintaining weight
-
Low libido
-
Irregular or heavy menstrual cycles
-
Headaches or migraines
-
Changes in skin, hair, or overall vitality
-
Symptoms related to perimenopause or menopause
​
If you’re experiencing any of the above, a personalized evaluation can help determine whether hormones may be playing a role.
