Hormone Replacement

in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Hormones affect SO much of our daily wellbeing, at any age. We’re here to help get your hormones back on track to ensure you continue to feel and be your best self- because that’s what’s most important. Each treatment is completely individualized to your needs, goals and symptoms. Once you book your consult and Angie takes your labs, it’s go time to feeling good and living better.

Our favorite form of hormone optimization is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). It’s a treatment designed to restore hormonal balance in the body using hormones that are chemically identical to those the body naturally produces (testosterone and estrogen). BHRT uses hormones derived from natural sources such as soy and yams, and aims to match the body’s natural hormones on a molecular level. Cool, right?

Your goals are our goals, and we’ll be with you every step of your wellbeing journey.

  • HRT is typically considered for individuals who experience symptoms of hormonal imbalance or deficiencies that are impacting their quality of life. The complication rate is less than 1%, and over 1.2 million procedures have been done!

    Here are some common situations and conditions where BHRT might be recommended:

    1. Menopause: Women going through menopause often experience symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. BHRT can help alleviate these symptoms by restoring hormone levels.

    2. Perimenopause: This transitional period leading up to menopause can cause irregular periods, sleep disturbances, and other symptoms. BHRT can be used to manage these symptoms before full menopause is reached!

    3. Postmenopause: For women who have already gone through menopause but continue to experience symptoms, or who have a higher risk of osteoporosis, BHRT may be considered to improve quality of life and prevent bone loss.

    4. Andropause: Sometimes referred to as male menopause, andropause involves a gradual decline in testosterone levels in men, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, decreased libido, and mood changes. BHRT can be used to address these symptoms.

    5. Thyroid Disorders: Individuals with thyroid imbalances, whether hypo- or hyperthyroidism, may benefit from hormone replacement therapy to stabilize their thyroid hormone levels.

    6. Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or adrenal insufficiency can cause significant hormonal imbalances, and BHRT can help provide these natural hormones back into the body!

    7. Aging: Some individuals seek BHRT as part of an anti-aging strategy, aiming to maintain youthful energy levels, cognitive function, and overall well-being as they age.

    8. Chronic Fatigue or Depression: Hormonal imbalances can sometimes contribute to chronic fatigue or mood disorders. BHRT might be used in conjunction with other treatments to address these issues.
