Hormones are tiny messengers in your body that tell your systems how to function. They help control everything from your mood and energy to your weight, sleep, and even your sex drive. But as we age—or go through changes like menopause or andropause (low testosterone in men)—those hormones can drop, and you start to feel “off.”
Hormone Optimization helps bring those levels back into balance, so your body can function the way it’s supposed to. We use bioidentical hormones, which are made to match your body’s natural hormones, helping you feel better with fewer side effects.
Bioidentical hormones are made in a lab using plant-based ingredients (like soy or yams), but they’re designed to be an exact match to the hormones your body naturally makes. That means they work the same way in your body—just like your own hormones always have.
Because of this close match, bioidentical hormones often come with fewer side effects and more noticeable results compared to synthetic hormones (which are made from animal sources and don’t match your body exactly).
We’ll start by checking your hormone levels to see what’s low, and then create a plan that fits you. Hormone therapy can come in different forms—like pills, creams, patches, injections, or tiny pellets placed just under your skin. Your treatment plan may include:
We’ll walk you through everything, monitor how you're doing, and adjust as needed to make sure you’re feeling your best.
Estrogen helps with energy, mood, brain function, and especially bone health. When estrogen drops—especially during menopause—you might feel more tired, foggy, moody, or have weaker bones. Replacing estrogen can help prevent osteoporosis and improve how you feel day-to-day.
Women with a uterus will also take progesterone to protect the uterine lining while on estrogen therapy.
Estrogen can be given in pills, patches, creams, or pellets under the skin.
Progesterone is another key hormone for women—it helps balance mood, improve sleep, and reduce hot flashes and night sweats. It also protects your uterus and may lower the risk of certain cancers.
We usually use natural progesterone, which is gentler on the body and better tolerated than synthetic versions. It’s most often taken as a pill or a dissolvable tablet.
Yes—women need testosterone too! While in smaller amounts than men, testosterone helps with:
Low testosterone is super common in menopausal women and can also show up in younger women for a variety of reasons (stress, birth control, surgery, etc.). Testosterone therapy can help bring back your energy and spark. It’s available as a cream, injection, or small pellet under the skin.
For men, testosterone is the hormone that supports strength, confidence, stamina, and sex drive. Levels naturally drop with age—usually around 1% a year after age 30.
Testosterone replacement can help with:
Therapy options include gels, injections, or pellets. We’ll help you find the right fit and monitor your levels to keep you safe and optimized.
Your thyroid controls your metabolism, energy, and body temperature. When it’s not working well, you might feel tired, gain weight, get cold easily, or have trouble thinking clearly.
We offer natural desiccated thyroid, which includes both T4 and T3 (the active thyroid hormone). This combo often works better for people than synthetic options like Synthroid (which only contains T4). With the right thyroid support, you can feel more energized, focused, and in control again.
Whether you’re dealing with mood swings, low energy, weight changes, brain fog, or a dip in sex drive—hormone imbalance could be the reason. We’re here to guide you every step of the way, from testing to treatment.
