Understanding Hormonal Changes
Hormonal changes occur in three primary stages, each bringing its own set of challenges and health risks.
- Perimenopause: This transition period occurs several years before menopause when estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate, leading to irregular periods, mood swings, and early menopause symptoms. Many women experience weight gain, sleep disturbances, and increased anxiety during this stage.
- Menopause: A woman is considered to have reached menopause after going 12 full months without menstruation. Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, joint pain, brain fog, and vaginal atrophy.
- Postmenopause: After menopause, estrogen deficiency increases the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, and cognitive decline. Symptoms may persist but tend to lessen over time. Women may also notice changes in skin elasticity, metabolism, and bone health.
How Common Are Menopause Symptoms?
Most women will experience at least one symptom of menopause, with some cases being more severe than others. According to the North American Menopause Society, over 80% of women experience hot flashes, and up to 60% report sleep disturbances due to night sweats and anxiety. Without treatment, these symptoms can last for years, impacting a woman’s physical and emotional health.

Common Symptoms of Menopause
While some women experience mild changes, others may have severe, disruptive symptoms that affect their physical and emotional well-being.
Hot flashes and night sweats
Sudden temperature fluctuations that cause excessive sweating and discomfort.
Mood changes and irritability
Emotional shifts due to hormonal imbalances, increasing stress and anxiety.
Vaginal dryness and discomfort
A loss of natural lubrication leading to pain during intercourse and irritation.
Low libido and sexual dysfunction
Lower levels of testosterone and estrogen affect desire and arousal.
Fatigue and sleep disturbances
Difficulty sleeping due to night sweats, hormonal changes, and anxiety.
Without proper treatment, these symptoms can significantly impact daily life, relationships, and overall health.
What Is Hormone Therapy?
Hormone therapy is a medically supervised treatment that restores hormonal balance to help relieve menopause symptoms and support overall well-being. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) replaces declining estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels, reducing discomfort and improving energy levels, mental clarity, and bone health.
Bioidentical vs. Synthetic Hormones
At Essentia, we offer bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT), which closely mimics the body’s natural hormones. Derived from plant sources, bioidentical hormones differ from synthetic hormones by closely matching the body’s natural chemistry. Research suggests BHRT may have fewer side effects and a reduced risk of complications compared to synthetic alternatives.
Types of Hormones Used in HRT
- Estrogen Therapy: Essential for reducing hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness while also protecting bone density.
- Progesterone Therapy: Often combined with estrogen for women who still have a uterus, as it helps prevent endometrial cancer and can also improve quality of sleep.
- Testosterone Therapy: Supports energy levels, sexual health, and muscle mass, especially in postmenopausal women experiencing low libido and fatigue.
Who Can Benefit from HRT?
HRT is suitable for most women experiencing menopausal symptoms, but it may not be recommended for those with certain medical conditions like a history of breast cancer or blood clots. Led by a board-certified gynecologist, our team will evaluate your hormone levels and overall health during your consultation to help you decide if HRT is right for you.
At Essentia Women’s Health & Aesthetics, we offer customized HRT options, including:
- Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) – Natural hormones that closely match the body’s own.
- Oral, topical, and pellet therapy – Various methods based on patient preference and medical needs.

Comprehensive Hormonal Evaluation
Hormones play a complex role in a woman’s health, influencing mood, metabolism, bone density, heart health, cognitive function, and sexual wellness. That’s why we begin with a detailed hormone evaluation to assess where imbalances may be occurring.
- Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels: These are the primary hormones that shift during menopause, affecting mood, metabolism, sexual health, and bone density.
- Thyroid function and adrenal health: Many women experiencing menopause also develop thyroid imbalances, which can contribute to fatigue, weight gain, hair thinning, and mood swings. Evaluating thyroid and adrenal health helps ensure that all hormone levels are optimized.
- Bone density assessments: Estrogen plays a critical role in maintaining bone strength. As levels decline after menopause, the risk of osteoporosis and fractures increases. By monitoring bone health, we can recommend HRT, supplements, or lifestyle changes to prevent bone loss and maintain skeletal integrity.
Through advanced hormone testing, we gain a comprehensive understanding of a woman’s hormonal profile, allowing us to design an effective treatment plan that aligns with her body’s specific needs.
Tailored Treatment Plans
After conducting hormone testing and assessments, we create a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) treatment plan designed to restore hormonal balance and alleviate menopause symptoms.
Customized HRT Options Include:
- Topical creams and patches: Applied directly to the skin, these deliver steady hormone levels without passing through the liver, reducing certain risks associated with oral HRT.
- Oral hormone therapy: Pills or capsules are prescribed based on individual needs, offering a convenient way to balance estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone levels.
- Pellet therapy: Small bioidentical hormone pellets are inserted under the skin, releasing consistent hormone doses over several months. This method is ideal for women seeking long-term, hassle-free hormone regulation.
Why a Personalized Plan Matters:
Because every woman’s body reacts uniquely to HRT, we provide a range of delivery options to suit individual needs. Depending on individual preferences, a daily pill may be the best option for some, while others may find pellet therapy more effective for sustained hormone balance. By customizing the dose, method, and combination of hormones, we ensure the safest, most effective results tailored to each patient’s needs.
Ongoing Monitoring & Lifestyle Recommendations
Hormone therapy is not a one-time treatment—it requires ongoing monitoring and adjustments to ensure optimal results and long-term safety. At Essentia, we take a comprehensive approach that includes regular follow-ups, nutritional guidance, and fitness support to help women feel their best.
Regular Follow-Ups & Lab Work:
- Routine hormone level testing ensures that HRT remains effective and properly balanced.
- Dosages are adjusted as needed based on symptoms, lab results, and overall health.
- We track long-term health markers, including heart health, bone density, and metabolic function.
Nutritional Guidance for Hormone-Friendly Diets:
Diet plays a significant role in supporting hormone balance. We provide personalized nutrition plans that include the following:
- Phytoestrogen-rich foods (such as flaxseeds and soy) help naturally regulate estrogen levels.
- Calcium and vitamin D supplementation to support bone health and reduce osteoporosis risk.
- Anti-inflammatory foods to support cardiovascular health and reduce menopause-related bloating and joint pain.
Exercise Plans to Support Metabolism & Bone Health:
Physical activity is essential for maintaining muscle tone, bone density, and heart health during menopause. Our recommendations include:
- Strength training to maintain muscle mass and prevent osteoporosis.
- Yoga and Pilates support joint flexibility and reduce stress.
- Cardiovascular workouts to promote heart health and aid in weight management.
