Managing Menopause: Understanding Hormone Therapy
Menopause and Perimenopause Treatments
Hormone therapy (HT) remains one of the most effective treatments for managing menopause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. While it was once prescribed routinely, today’s approach is more personalized, weighing individual benefits and risks.
Types of Hormone Treatment
- Systemic hormone therapy (estrogen plus progestin, or estrogen alone for women without a uterus)
- Low-dose vaginal products for localized symptoms
- Best started close to menopause onset or under age 60
- Not recommended for women with certain medical histories
- Available in various forms: pills, patches, creams, gels, and sprays
- Treatment plans should be regularly reviewed with your healthcare provider

Women's Hormone Health: A Patient-Centered Guide
Your Hormone Journey is Deeply Personal
This guide is designed with you in mind—a warm, supportive introduction to the integrated options available to help maintain hormonal balance and overall wellness. Here, we blend time-honored nutritional support with innovative therapies, including targeted peptides and essential vitamins specific to women's needs. We also can complete comprehensive blood panels specifically related to women's health.
Understanding Your Hormone Health
Hormones are the silent messengers that influence everything from your mood and energy to your metabolism and reproductive health. Throughout the various stages of life—whether you’re navigating youthful cycles, the changes of perimenopause, or the adventures of menopause—knowing how to support your body is key. Our approach recognizes your unique story and experiences, celebrating every individual's journey toward balance and well-being.
Recommended Peptides for Hormonal Support
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as powerful messengers, triggering and modulating key bodily functions. In targeted therapeutic settings, some peptides have shown promise in influencing hormone regulation and supporting cellular repair.
Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides (GHRPs)
What They Are: GHRPs (such as Ipamorelin and GHRP-6) are designed to promote the natural release of growth hormone. This gentle stimulation can help improve body composition, energy levels, and even recovery—elements that indirectly support the complex interplay of hormones in the body.
How They May Help: By fostering a healthy regenerative process, these peptides can contribute to improved skin tone, muscle repair, and overall vitality—all of which can be important when maintaining hormonal balance over time.
CJC-1295 (with DAC)
What It Is: CJC-1295 is a peptide known to extend the duration of growth hormone release. Its formulation is designed to provide a longer-lasting effect, potentially favoring improved metabolism, better sleep quality, and enhanced overall well-being.
How It May Help: For many women, optimizing growth hormone levels can mean better support for muscle maintenance, recovery, and even a more balanced hormonal milieu—especially during the challenging transitions that come with aging.
Kisspeptin
What It Is: Kisspeptin is an emerging peptide in the context of reproductive health. It plays a key role in initiating the cascade of hormones necessary for reproductive processes, particularly by influencing the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).
How It May Help: While research is ongoing, kisspeptin holds promise for its potential to aid in the fine-tuning of hormonal signals—a crucial factor for addressing issues related to fertility and menstrual irregularities.
NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)
NAD is a vital molecule found in every cell of your body. It plays an essential role in converting food into energy and supports your cells in repairing themselves.
Why NAD Matters:
- Boosts Energy Production: Increasing NAD helps your cells generate more energy, making you feel more vibrant.
- Enhances Cell Repair: Supports important processes like DNA repair and reduces the negative effects of aging.
- Overall Wellness: By optimizing energy and repair, NAD can help improve metabolism and maintain a youthful, active lifestyle.
Many patients choose NAD supplementation—whether through oral supplements or IV therapy—to help restore their natural energy levels and improve cellular health.
Essential Vitamins and Nutrients for Hormonal Balance
Hormone Health and Nutrition
A foundation of proper nutrition often sets the stage for hormonal stability. Vitamins and essential nutrients play pivotal roles in ensuring that the many biochemical pathways tied to hormone production, regulation, and metabolism have the support they need.
Vitamin D3: The Sunshine Vitamin
Key Benefits:
- Bone Health & Immunity: Helps in calcium absorption and supports skeletal integrity.
- Hormonal Modulation: Adequate vitamin D levels may contribute to estrogen regulation, which is vital for reproductive and overall health.
Vitamin B6 and the B-Complex
Key Benefits:
- Mood Support: Vital for neurotransmitter synthesis, aiding in mood regulation and energy.
- Metabolic Assistance: Helps process proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, indirectly supporting hormonal balance by maintaining overall metabolic efficiency.
Vitamin E: The Antioxidant Ally
Key Benefits:
- Antioxidant Support: Acts as a powerful antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress that can affect hormonal health.
- Skin & Reproductive Health: May contribute to smoother skin and support reproductive functions in certain contexts.
Magnesium
Key Benefits:
- Enzymatic Reactions: Critical for over 300 enzymatic processes, including those tied to hormone synthesis.
- Stress Reduction: Known for its calming properties, magnesium may assist in reducing symptoms of PMS and promoting relaxation.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Key Benefits:
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects: These essential fats help modulate inflammation, which is often linked to hormonal imbalances.
- Heart and Metabolic Health: Supports cardiovascular health, fostering a holistic environment that benefits overall hormonal function.
