Nearly every woman over the age of 30 experiences the natural decline in mental clarity, strength, and sex drive that comes along with other changes associated with aging due to the gradual loss of hormones. In women, this is called menopause and refers mainly to decreasing levels of testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. Hormone imbalance symptoms can range from subtle to debilitating and are often masked by medications that are commonly prescribed for anxiety, depression, insomnia, weight gain, and more. Hormonal imbalance symptoms may include:
Hormone therapy can benefit those who are suffering from symptoms that are commonly overlooked, primary care physicians who do not specialize in hormone therapy are unwilling to pursue hormone optimization with the vigor our integrative medicine providers do.
Here at Central Wellness, we treat women and their symptoms returning women to a normal, healthier, pain-free life. Our nurse practitioners will work with you to balance your hormones so you can live your optimal life to the fullest. Pharmaceutical hormones are not synthetic hormones that are made from man-made chemical compounds. Bio-identical hormones are made from compounds found in plants usually soybeans or wild yams in a sterile laboratory. After the plant-based hormone is processed, its structure is said to be identical to the estrogen, progesterone, or androgen hormone your body makes.
Your provider will schedule appointments to continually monitor your hormone levels and to review the alleviation of your symptoms. We know that hormone imbalances are uncomfortable and frustrating to deal with. Treatment will be revised as necessary for optimum balance. That is why we call our approach Bio-Identical Hormone Optimization Therapy (BHOT).

Estrogen replacement therapy replaces lost estrogen in a woman’s body during menopause. There is relief for women experiencing the side effects of estrogen loss. In fact, many women express alleviation or elimination of the side effects. This is of course after receiving estrogen replacement therapy. Again, estrogen replacement takes place in oral, vaginal, pellet, or topical forms.
Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone production slows for women during the mid-life stage. Many women then experience rapid and uncomfortable side effects of menopause. These include one or more of the following and can range in severity:
— Vaginal dryness
— Breast tenderness
— Mood swings
— Depression
— Hot flashes
— Night Sweats
— Irregularity with menstruation
— Lack of menstruation
— Difficulty concentrating
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a treatment designed to help balance hormone levels using hormones that are chemically identical to those produced by the human body. For women, BHRT can be especially beneficial during perimenopause, menopause, or when experiencing hormonal imbalances. Common benefits include relief from symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, weight gain, low libido, and fatigue. BHRT can also help improve bone density, support heart health, and enhance overall quality of life.
