Symptoms
Does this sound like your last few years?
Most women are told this is just aging, stress or motherhood. It is usually hormones — and it is measurable. Check the ones that sound familiar and bring the list to your consult.
- Hot flashes, night sweats or sudden overheating
- Waking at 2 or 3 a.m. and not falling back asleep
- Weight gain around the belly that diet and exercise no longer touch
- Brain fog, forgetting words, losing your train of thought
- Irritability, anxiety or crying spells that feel out of proportion
- Periods that are irregular, heavier, lighter or unpredictable
- Low or absent libido
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort with intimacy
- Thinning hair, dry skin or brittle nails
- Joint aches and stiffness that showed up out of nowhere
- Exhaustion by mid-afternoon no matter how you slept
- Bladder urgency or recurrent urinary tract infections

FAQ
Questions patients ask
How do I know if I am in perimenopause?+
Perimenopause is diagnosed mostly from symptoms and cycle changes, supported by labs. Irregular periods, sleep disruption, mood changes and temperature swings in your 40s — sometimes late 30s — are the usual pattern.
Is hormone replacement therapy safe?+
For most healthy women starting near the onset of menopause, current evidence supports HRT as safe and effective. Your personal and family history are reviewed first, and we discuss the risks and benefits that apply specifically to you.
Do you offer bioidentical hormones?+
Yes. Bioidentical options are available where clinically appropriate, and your provider will explain how they compare to other formulations for your situation.
Can I start HRT if I still have periods?+
Yes. Many women benefit from treatment during perimenopause, while cycles are still occurring but symptoms have begun.
Will hormone therapy help me lose weight?+
Balanced hormones make weight management easier, but HRT is not a weight loss medication. Many patients combine it with our medical weight loss program for that reason.
How long before I feel better?+
Sleep and hot flashes often improve within a few weeks. Mood, energy and body composition typically take one to three months as doses are optimized.
