How It Works
Aging naturally decreases your hormone levels. This process can start as early as your 30s but mostly happens when women hit menopause around their 50s. Menopause is when our ovaries no longer have any eggs, so our bodies stop producing the hormones that occur with our menstrual cycle.
Hormone therapy helps maintain these hormone levels to stop menopause symptoms and return your energy levels to what they were before menopause.

The Hormone Therapy Process
Step 1: Consultation
First, you’ll meet with one of our expert providers to discuss your concerns during a one-on-one consultation. You’ll discuss your medical history and your wellness goals, then your provider will have you complete labs to test your hormone levels.
Step 2: First Appointment
When you get your hormone test results back, you will meet with your provider again to determine what specific hormones you need to live your best life. Your provider will also ask additional questions about your lifestyle to determine which method of hormone supplement may be right for you.
Step 3: Treatment
Your treatment will vary depending on your method of hormone replacement. After being on hormone supplements for about 3 months, your provider will schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure you have achieved your goals, and if not, talk about possibly changing your dosage and method of hormone therapy in Cleveland.
