Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and perimenopause

BHRT & Perimenopause: WTF Is Happening to Me?

First off, what is BHRT?

BHRT = Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, aka “putting back what your ovaries are ghosting you on.” These are plant-based hormones that mimic what your body used to make — back when you could sleep through the night and find your keys.

If you're:

  • Waking up drenched in sweat like you ran a marathon in your sleep

  • Crying because you dropped a spoon

  • Googling “divorce” because your partner chewed too loud
    …it’s not death, it’s hormones. Welcome to perimenopause — the hormonal rollercoaster before menopause.

  • Menopause is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period.
  • Because your estrogen and progesterone are playing hide and seek. Symptoms include:

    • Hot flashes (aka your body's spontaneous combustion)

    • Brain fog (wait, what was I saying?)

    • Mood swings (cue angry tears because someone breathed weird)

    • Zero libido (unless Chris Hemsworth walks in)

Yes. BHRT is real medicine, prescribed by trained professionals who use actual science, not vibes and unicorn dust. It’s safe when personalized and monitored — no sketchy MLMs involved.

Nope. BHRT uses hormones that match your body’s own chemistry. Think of it like a custom-tailored outfit instead of a one-size-fits-none muumuu.

BHRT brings your hormones back in line — so you feel more like you. It helps:

  • Stop the spontaneous sweating

  • Chill the mood swings

  • Bring back your energy (and sanity)

  • Make sex not feel like sandpaper

BHRT can come as:

  • Creams or gels you rub in (yes, like moisturizer for your hormones)

  • Tiny pellets placed under your skin (low-key and long-lasting)

  • Pills or lozenges (aka meltaway mood-fixers)

Some women feel better in a week, others need a month or two. By month 3, most report:
✅ Less rage
✅ Better sleep
✅ Less “I’ve-lost-my-mind” moments

Yep. No guessing games here. We check your hormone levels so we can give you exactly what you need. Bonus: You get to say “my estrogen was a dumpster fire” with data to prove it.

Not necessarily. Some women do BHRT through menopause and taper off. Others stay on it because they love how they feel. You’re in charge — we just help you not scream at your barista.

Yes — but not just yourself. A better-rested, less-sweaty, clearer-minded version of you. Basically, you... but rebooted.
