What are the different types of hormone replacement therapies for women?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for women typically includes estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone, depending on your symptoms and hormone levels.

At our clinic, we focus on bioidentical hormone therapy, a more natural, body-compatible approach tailored to support energy, mood, metabolism, and overall hormone balance.

Not necessarily. When tailored to your needs and monitored by a physician, HRT often supports a healthy metabolism and can help with weight management.

Current research shows that risks depend on the type of HRT, dosage, and individual health history. We carefully assess your risks and use the safest, most effective protocols.
