WHAT HAPPENS IN EVERY STAGE?

Perimenopause and menopause mark a pivotal shift in every woman’s lifelong health journey. However, these shifts don’t just occur overnight, meaning you may experience related symptoms over the course of months or even years. Throughout these stages, hormonal fluctuations can contribute to significant changes in your mood, sex drive, and day-to-day wellbeing, which can feel overwhelming.

Here, we don’t believe that any woman should simply adjust, or get used to uncomfortable symptoms related to menopause. Rather, we want to help you adapt to this new experience with ease, and without compromising your quality of life.

For helping you improve your personal hormone health and achieve optimal wellness, our HRT treatment plans can be incredibly beneficial for improving the symptoms of imbalance including:

Going Through All Stages

Before menopause begins, most women will experience the associated symptoms and hormone fluctuations known as perimenopause. It is not uncommon to mistake these changes for your menopause phase. However, the perimenopause stage typically lasts for months or even years prior.

At this stage, you may notice some changes in your menstrual cycle and fertility begins to decline. The primary difference between perimenopause and menopause is that you will still have a period. It is not until your period has been absent for twelve consecutive months, that you are considered to be in menopause.

For helping you improve your personal hormone health and achieve optimal wellness, our HRT treatment plans can be incredibly beneficial for improving the symptoms of imbalance including:

Fear of

Weight Gain ?

Decreased Sex Drive?

Vaginal Dryness?

Hair Loss ?

Service is Our Top Priority

These physical and emotional changes are completely typical of the perimenopause stage. However, intervention with hormone replacement therapy, and other lifestyle changes, can be incredibly helpful for managing symptoms and maintaining quality of life as you transition through the next stages.

At the point that you have not had a period for at least twelve months, your body will have entered the phase referred to as menopause. For most women the average age that the body enters menopause is around your 50s, but can occur earlier or later, based on certain factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and overall health.During menopause estrogen levels, progesterone, and fertility continue to decline. At this time, you will likely experience symptoms similar to those in perimenopause with the most noticeable changes including:

These symptoms should continue to lessen as you reach the post-menopause phase, and most women welcome the transition to no longer having to worry about periods or pregnancy.

That said, the changes associated with menopause and your hormones can make your body more vulnerable to other serious health concerns. Because estrogen and progesterone are responsible for essential functions related to the reproductive and cardiovascular systems, bone health and mineral metabolism, and memory and cognition, it is highly recommended that you continue hormone replacement therapy and implement supportive lifestyle changes.

Treatment for Perimenopause, Menopause and Post-Menopause

At ginspirehealth our expert clinical staff works with a variety of options for treatment, and specializes in hormone replacement therapy for addressing all of your concerns related to perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause. Here, we provide comprehensive care, starting with testing to evaluate female hormones, and then developing a treatment plan according to your unique needs.

During the various stages of menopause, hormone levels begin to fluctuate and eventually become much lower. For this reason, hormone replacement therapy has been proven to be very effective for reducing, and even eradicating, negative symptoms. We’ll also work with you to incorporate additional lifestyle changes that may be beneficial along the way.

BENEFITS

Hormone Replacement Therapy

Utilizing bioidentical hormones, hormone injection therapy works quickly and effectively to deliver what your body needs and restore healthy hormone levels. This approach is a quick, easy, and effective way to get the hormones your body needs to function optimally. As a result, you’ll be able to get rapid relief from debilitating hot flashes, as well as enjoy better sleep, lessened anxiety, and an improved sex life. Throughout all stages – including perimenopause, menopause, and even post-menopause – HRT can help.

Other Lifestyle Changes to Consider

When combined with HRT, we find that reducing physical and mental stress can be very helpful for managing symptoms of menopause, as well as lowering your risk of brittle bones and heart disease post-menopause. In addition to hormone replacement therapy, we recommend prioritizing healthy lifestyle habits such as balanced eating, exercise, and cutting back on smoking and alcohol intake.

Is There a Limit To How Long I Can Stay on HRT Once I Start?

There is no limit to how long you can stay on hormone treatments if you are happy with the results. One main purpose of the 8-week follow up with our medical staff is to make sure the prescribed treatments are working well for patients. Our medical staff is always here to continue to follow up and adjust the treatment plan to best meet the patients’ needs long-term.

The hormones we provide are bioidentical; this means they are much safer for long-term use. Bioidentical hormones have a high compatibility rate, meaning they act nearly identical to the hormones your body would naturally produce. This high compatibility rate is ideal for hormones because it means your body is more likely to fully utilize the hormones, resulting in optimization of your overall health.

We believe in giving our patients maximum benefits while simultaneously minimizing overall risk. Therefore, some medications are more effectively and safely absorbed into the skin topically vs. entering the body via capsules or injections.

Yes. We do offer monthly installments plans for your treatments.

Hormone optimization involves balancing hormone levels in the body to improve overall health and well-being. Hormones play a crucial role in various bodily functions, including but not limited to metabolism, mood, energy levels, and sexual function. When hormone levels are imbalanced, it can lead to a range of symptoms and health issues. Optimizing your hormones can help alleviate these unwanted symptoms and improve your quality of life.

You may be a good candidate for hormone replacement therapy if you are experiencing common symptoms related to hormone imbalance such as fatigue, hair loss, low libido, unusual weight fluctuation, joint pain, skin irritations, sudden mood changes, spike in anxiety and/or depression, and sleep disturbances among others. Our providers will take note of all symptoms, evaluate medical history, run labs, go over the results with you, determine proper treatment, and follow up on results.

The timeline for seeing results of hormone replacement therapy can vary depending on the individual and the type of hormone being replaced. Some patients may see improvement in symptoms within a week, while others may take a few months to see results. In general, it is common for patients to see results within 2 weeks.

Insurance coverage for hormone replacement therapy can vary depending on the individual’s insurance plan and specific circumstances. It is recommended that you check with your insurance provider to determine if HRT is covered under your plan. We also recommend that you call and check with Amazing Meds staff about our acceptance of your specific insurance coverage.

After the consult, we’ll send you a patient-intake form. Once you complete it, we’ll schedule your telehealth evaluation with our board-certified doctor. However, you are under no obligation to move forward. Our medical team is only here to support you if you wish to receive bioidentical hormone therapy via telemedicine.
