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.
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.

Subcutaneous pellets
Your provider will discuss the benefits and considerations of each option to help determine the most appropriate and effective approach for your body and lifestyle.
