bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in tucson for perimenopause & Menopause

Hormonal shifts can affect everything: mood, energy, weight, sleep, libido, and your sense of self. I help women in Tucson navigate perimenopause and menopause with personalized, evidence-informed hormone replacement therapy (HRT), naturopathic medicine, and lifestyle support.

Whether you are wondering if bioidentical hormones are right for you or simply want to understand why you don’t feel like yourself, we identify root causes and build a plan that restores stability and confidence.

When appropriate, I prescribe and monitor bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to help relieve hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, vaginal dryness, sleep disruption, and cognitive symptoms. Additionally, women are seeking hormone therapy to help prevent common concerns related to aging, including the maintenance of strong bones and muscles.

Treatment is individualized and may include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or DHEA, guided by your history, symptoms, and lab testing.

Frequently Asked Questions about HRT

Do I need hormone replacement therapy during menopause?

Most women will find hormone replacement therapy to be beneficial in addressing the concerning symptoms and changes they experience during the menopause transition. For those women who have reasons not to use HRT, they can be supported with natural interventions.

It’s a really interesting time and medical recommendations have been changing. Older studies that caused concern about HRT have been challenged. Many women are learning about the benefits of hormone therapy and are seeking providers that are informed and can assist in decision-making.

Are bioidentical hormones safe?

How do I know if my symptoms are normal?

Patterns in sleep, mood, cycles, libido, and energy often tell us more than labs. Testing can be helpful at times too.

The age of onset of perimenopausal symptoms vary from person to person. Many people can benefit from progesterone before needing to add estrogen and testosterone. I have found that most people experience severe symptoms before seeking help and could have started HRT much sooner.
