Testing We Recommend Before Starting HRT:

Before starting any hormone therapy, we perform a comprehensive assessment that includes:

• Saliva, Urine, and Blood Testing: To evaluate adrenal function, female/male hormone levels, and overall hormonal balance.
• Estrogen Metabolism Evaluation: Assessing 2, 4, and 16 OH estrogens and methylation processes.
• Additional Testing: To measure blood sugar, insulin, thyroid function, and other metabolic markers.

Our Approach to HRT Treatment:

Based on your hormone levels and health assessment, we may prescribe bioidentical topical estradiol and testosterone, along with topical or oral progesterone. Additionally, we address adrenal hormone imbalances with therapies that target cortisol, DHEA, and pregnenolone to support adrenal health and hormone regulation.

For patients who are not good candidates for HRT, we offer alternatives, such as herbal therapies to alleviate postmenopausal symptoms and naturally balance hormones.
