Treatments tailored to your body.
Evidence-based bioidentical hormone replacement therapy designed around your unique symptoms, medical history, and goals. All treatments are prescribed only after evaluation by a licensed provider.
What is bioidentical HRT?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones with the exact same molecular structure as those naturally produced by your body. When carefully prescribed and monitored, it can help address the symptoms that arise as hormone levels change during midlife.
Bioidentical molecules
Identical molecular structure to the hormones your body naturally produces.
Evidence-based
One of the most extensively studied treatments in modern women's health.
Provider-supervised
Only prescribed after thorough evaluation by a licensed clinician.
Personalized dosing
Treatment is tailored to your symptoms, body, and response over time.
Three hormones, infinite combinations.
Your provider may prescribe one or a combination of these hormones, in the form and dose that best suits your unique needs.
The primary female hormone
Estradiol
Estradiol is the most potent and prevalent form of estrogen in women's bodies. Its decline during perimenopause and menopause is responsible for many of the most disruptive symptoms.
May help with
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Sleep disturbances
- Vaginal dryness and discomfort
- Mood changes and anxiety
- Bone density support
- Skin elasticity
Available forms
Form of delivery is determined by your provider based on your medical history and preferences.
The balancing hormone
Progesterone
Progesterone works in harmony with estrogen. For women with a uterus, it provides essential protection for the uterine lining when taking estrogen. It also has its own benefits for sleep and calm.
May help with
- Improved sleep quality
- Reduced anxiety
- Mood stabilization
- Uterine lining protection (when indicated)
- Hormonal balance
Available forms
Bioidentical micronized progesterone is preferred by many providers over synthetic progestins.
The vitality hormone
Testosterone
Often overlooked in women's health, testosterone plays a crucial role in energy, libido, mental clarity, and muscle tone. Women produce small amounts naturally, and levels decline with age.
May help with
- Low libido
- Energy and stamina
- Mental clarity and focus
- Muscle tone maintenance
- Sense of wellbeing
Available forms
Women's doses are very low — typically 1/10th of male doses. Treatment is carefully titrated.

Every body responds differently. Here's a general timeline based on what many women experience.
Starting your treatment
Some women notice initial changes in sleep and mood. Sensitivity to medications varies — some feel changes quickly, others take longer.
Symptoms begin to shift
Hot flashes and night sweats often start to decrease. Energy levels may improve. Your provider will check in to discuss your response.
Significant relief for many
Most women experience meaningful improvement in primary symptoms by this point. Adjustments to dose or form may be made.
Stabilization
Your treatment plan is fine-tuned. Many women report feeling more like themselves than they have in years.
Long-term care
Regular check-ins ensure your treatment continues to meet your needs as your body and life evolve.
Important: Individual results vary. Some women experience side effects or need treatment adjustments. Your provider monitors your progress and adjusts as needed.
