The change of life, or menopause, is a natural part of aging when a woman's menstrual cycles stop permanently. This marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. The years leading up to menopause are called perimenopause. This transition time brings shifting hormone levels, which can cause various symptoms.
Most women reach menopause between the ages of 45 and 55. As you near menopause, hormone levels fluctuate and decline, primarily estrogen and progesterone. Lower estrogen levels can lead to symptoms like hot flashes, trouble sleeping, vaginal dryness, and emotional changes. Lower progesterone levels can contribute to symptoms as well.
Hormone changes vary for each woman. Symptoms may last a few months or several years. While some women have moderate to severe symptoms, others may have few or none at all. Lifestyle choices can impact symptoms too.
At Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic, we specialize in personalized care to relieve menopause symptoms and help women thrive during this transition. Our menopause specialists bring decades of experience in women’s hormone health. We provide comprehensive testing, accurate diagnosis, and customized treatment plans featuring bioidentical hormone therapy.
Changing estrogen levels commonly trigger symptoms leading up to and during menopause. However, symptoms can also result from low testosterone, progesterone, DHEA, and other imbalances. Thyroid dysfunction can magnify symptoms too.
We carefully evaluate all your symptoms along with test results to uncover their underlying cause(s). Accurate diagnosis guides proper treatment.
Along with these common symptoms, some women develop other physical and mental health changes, like hair thinning, skin problems, headaches, racing heart, joint pain, depression, or lack of motivation. Sexual health can suffer too with low libido, pain, or inability to climax.
Declining hormones not only produce symptoms in the years around menopause. Hormone deficiency after menopause increases long-term health risks like heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease. Addressing hormone balance is vital for health as you age.
Bioidentical hormone therapy custom-fits hormones to your individual needs. These hormones have a molecular structure identical to the hormones your body makes naturally. This allows them to bind easily to your hormone receptors and mimic how naturally-made hormones act in your body.
Many studies confirm bioidentical hormones effectively reduce hot flashes, night sweats, sleep problems, vaginal dryness, urinary urgency, and other common menopause concerns. Bioidentical estrogen and micronized progesterone also have a positive impact on emotional well-being for many women.
In addition to relieving bothersome symptoms, balancing your hormones with bioidentical therapy provides these benefits:
The foundational step for bioidentical hormone therapy is testing your hormone levels through blood, saliva, urine, or tissue samples. This allows us to analyze imbalances contributing to your symptoms.
We then create customized prescriptions of bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid hormone, and/or other hormones matching what your body needs. These prescriptions account for your age, risk factors, symptom profile, lifestyle, preferences, and treatment goals.
You can take bioidentical hormones by pill, sublingual drops, topical cream, vaginal inserts, pellets placed under your skin, or patches worn on your skin. Together we decide which method works best for your situation.
Most women use a combination of two or more bioidentical hormones to properly replenish multiple deficiencies simultaneously. Common pairings are:
We reevaluate your hormone levels and symptoms at follow-up visits to monitor your response and adjust dosages accordingly. Most women enjoy a favorable response with few to no side effects when hormones are correctly balanced.
Ongoing management aims to determine your optimal dose - the amount of hormones bringing relief while avoiding over-replacement. Customized bioidentical therapy can continue safely long-term for women during the postmenopausal years.

The exact protocol for getting started on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy depends on your specific situation, but the general process involves:
Studies show that practicing yoga can help reduce troublesome menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep problems. Gentle yoga postures combined with deep breathing and meditation provide natural hormonal balance without the need for hormones or medications for many women going through menopause.
Getting accurate diagnosis through comprehensive testing allows detecting hormone imbalance early, often before major health consequences emerge. Then personalized medicine fine-tunes hormones for optimal wellness now and as you continue aging.
If you wait too long thinking symptoms will pass, they tend to worsen. Prolonged deficiencies speed aging and destruction internally. Inadequate estrogen allows bone loss, atrophied tissues, and higher risk for chronic diseases. Imbalanced progesterone disrupts cellular repair systems and detox pathways. Low testosterone shrinks vital organs, attacks muscle, weakens resilience to stress, and dampens mood. You feel bad and age faster!
Restoring balance promptly halts this downward progression and initiates the rebuilding process. Custom-fit hormones switch genes back on to regenerate bone, brain, pelvic tissues, skin collagen, muscle mass, and more. Vitality surges both physically and mentally.
At Rejuvenate Hormone Clinic, we specialize in accurately diagnosing hormone deficiencies early and crafting personalized prescription plans. Our goal is protecting your health and quality of life at every age. We also educate women how nutrition, exercise, stress management and other lifestyle measures complement hormone therapy benefits.
Don’t settle for mediocre health and piecemeal treatments. Get to the root cause! Our top priority is delivering lasting solutions, not temporary band-aids covering deeper issues. We empower women to take charge of their hormone health for optimal aging.
