About Hormone Replacement Therapy

At Revolution Women’s Health, we understand that every woman’s experience of postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause is unique. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can be a powerful tool for restoring balance, improving quality of life, and supporting long-term health. Our approach to HRT is integrative, evidence-based, and completely customized to you.

Understanding Perimenopause and Menopause

Perimenopause—the transition leading up to menopause—can begin as early as the mid-30s. Symptoms may appear before changes in your periods start. This stage can last for years before menopause (defined as 12 months without a period), and symptoms can vary greatly.

Common symptoms during perimenopause and menopause include:

  • Hot flashes and night sweats

  • Sleep disturbances and insomnia

  • Vaginal dryness and discomfort

  • Mood changes, irritability, or anxiety

  • Brain fog, difficulty concentrating, and memory changes

  • Decreased libido and sexual changes

  • Joint pain and muscle aches

  • Irregular or heavy cycles (perimenopause)

  • Bone density loss and osteoporosis risk

If you’re experiencing these changes, you are not alone—and safe, supportive treatment options are available.

A Safe, Modern Approach to Hormone Care

We know many women have concerns about the safety of HRT. Earlier studies, especially from the early 2000s, raised fears about increased health risks. However, more recent research has shown that when hormone therapy is started at the appropriate time, with the right type of hormone and careful monitoring, it can be both safe and highly effective for many women.

At Revolution Women’s Health:

  • We primarily use bioidentical hormones—molecules structurally identical to your body’s own.

  • We also use carefully regulated compounded hormones from trusted pharmacies and prescription medications when needed.

  • Doses and delivery methods are carefully tailored to your individual needs.

  • We follow current guidelines from The Menopause Society and other evidence-based authorities.

  • Your care includes ongoing monitoring to ensure effectiveness and safety.

Beyond Hormones: An Integrative Perspective

While HRT can be an important part of menopause and perimenopause care, true well-being extends beyond prescriptions. We integrate hormone therapy with nutrition, lifestyle, and mind-body approaches to help you:

  • Improve sleep and energy

  • Support bone and heart health

  • Reduce inflammation and support healthy weight

  • Manage stress and mood changes naturally

This whole-person approach ensures you receive the most comprehensive care possible.
