Each option will be carefully discussed and chosen based on your individual health needs and preferences as well as health history and age.

HRT and TRT can be especially powerful when couples tackle hormone imbalances together. It turns the process into a team effort—each of you working to improve energy, mood, sleep, and overall wellbeing while supporting the other’s progress. For many couples, it strengthens communication, boosts accountability, and helps both partners feel their best at the same time… like a shared project, just without the trips to Home Depot.
HRT (BHRT) Provider
I’m Sara, a nurse practitioner with years of experience caring for women through every stage of life as well as being a woman dealing with perimenopause myself! My focus at Optimum Wellness Center is helping women understand and correct hormone imbalances through personalized HRT. I’ve seen how issues like fatigue, mood changes, sleep problems, and shifting hormones can impact daily life, relationships, and overall wellbeing—and how often women are told to “just deal with it.”
My goal is to change that. I provide clear explanations, evidence-based treatment options, and compassionate guidance so you know exactly what’s happening in your body and how to address it safely and effectively. Together, we build a plan that supports your health, your goals, and the way you want to feel—without the guesswork.
Frequently Asked Questions
HRT is a medical treatment that replaces hormones that decline during perimenopause and menopause. Estrogen is the primary hormone used, while progesterone is generally included for women who still have a uterus.
HRT can help with many symptoms, some of those including anxiety, brain fog, hot flashes and night sweats. It can also help with vaginal dryness, joint aches, chills, discomfort during sex, and sleep disruption related to menopausal symptoms. Systemic estrogen also helps protect against bone loss.
Your symptoms, medical history, age, time since menopause, medications, and personal preferences all matter. During your consultation, we evaluate your individual benefits and risks before recommending treatment.
Hormone therapy may be delivered through skin patches, gels, creams, sprays, oral medication, injections or vaginal treatments. The best formulation and route depend on your symptoms, health history, and treatment goals.
If you still have a uterus and use systemic estrogen, progesterone is usually prescribed to protect the uterine lining. Women who have had a hysterectomy may not need progesterone. Your provider will determine what is appropriate for you.
Bioidentical hormones have the same chemical structure as hormones naturally produced by the body. Some bioidentical hormone products are FDA-approved, while others are custom compounded. “Bioidentical” does not automatically mean safer, so we discuss the benefits and limitations of each option.
HRT can be an appropriate option for many women, but its safety depends on the type, dose, route, timing, and your medical history. Possible risks can include blood clots, stroke, gallbladder problems, and—in some circumstances—breast or uterine cancer. We review these risks carefully before prescribing treatment.
Systemic HRT may not be recommended for women with unexplained vaginal bleeding, certain hormone-sensitive cancers, a previous blood clot, stroke or heart attack, or significant liver disease. Local vaginal treatments may have different considerations and can be discussed during your consultation.
Some women notice improvement within the first several weeks, but timing varies by symptom and treatment. Follow-up visits allow us to assess your response, address side effects, and adjust treatment when appropriate.
There is no single treatment duration that is right for every woman. We periodically review your symptoms, preferences, benefits, and risks to determine whether continuing HRT remains appropriate.
Schedule an initial hormone health consultation. We will review your symptoms and medical history, determine whether testing is appropriate, and discuss hormonal and nonhormonal treatment options.
