Tired, gaining weight, or losing hair? It may not just be your thyroid.
Cortisol dysregulation can mirror the symptoms of hypothyroidism, and vice versa.
Because these systems are linked, a full hormone assessment is essential before treatment.

The gut plays a key role in hormone balance. When cortisol (our stress hormone) is dysregulated, it can impair digestion and absorption - especially of proteins, which are essential for producing amino acids. Those amino acids build our neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers that affect mood and energy.

When stress burns through nutrients faster than we can absorb them, imbalances can follow - in both hormones and brain chemistry.

Traditionally, women who had a hysterectomy were prescribed estrogen-only hormone therapy - a practice rooted in science from the 1950s.

But today, we know more. Progesterone receptors exist throughout the body - in breast tissue, brain, and beyond - not just the uterus.

That’s why many experts now recognize the importance of including bioidentical progesterone, even after hysterectomy, for whole-body hormonal balance.

There are pharmaceutical-grade bioidentical hormone therapies available — like Prometrium, Estrogel, and Estradot. But standardized dosing doesn’t always fit everyone’s needs.

That’s where custom compounding comes in. For patients who need a more precise dose — based on hormone testing and clinical evidence — compounding allows for truly personalized care.

When it comes to breast health, not all hormone therapies are the same.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is designed to match your body’s natural hormones. Because it’s biomimetic, your body recognizes and metabolizes it as its own.

When kept within physiologic balance, BHRT generally doesn’t pose issues for breast health — a pattern that differs from conventional hormone therapy.

When reviewing studies on hormone replacement therapy, context matters.
It’s crucial to distinguish between bioidentical and conventional forms of therapy — because research findings differ between them.

When analyzed correctly, the scientific literature shows a more nuanced picture of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) compared to traditional methods.

Not all hot flashes are caused by low estrogen. Sometimes, cortisol — your body’s stress hormone — is to blame.

Cortisol-related hot flashes tend to be predictable: first thing in the morning, after stress, caffeine, or alcohol — and often between 2–4 a.m.

Estrogen-related ones? They happen more randomly. Understanding the cause helps guide treatment — whether balancing estrogen and progesterone or supporting cortisol regulation.

Hot flashes are one of the most common symptoms of menopause — but for many women, they naturally fade over time.

When caused by low estrogen, hot flashes often improve on their own within 3–4 years, though for some they may last longer.
Understanding what’s happening physiologically helps you choose the right support for your body.

At the root of hormonal balance lies cortisol — the body’s stress hormone.
When cortisol becomes dysregulated, it can amplify symptoms of both perimenopause and menopause.

If cortisol is high or unstable, it can worsen estrogen dominance and make low hormone levels feel even lower — leading to fatigue, anxiety, and mood swings.
Balancing cortisol is key to balancing everything else.

Starting bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) isn’t a one-size-fits-all decision.
Timing matters — and so does individual context.

For many women, beginning BHRT around the time of menopause is recommended.
But for those considering therapy 10+ years post-menopause, factors like breast tissue sensitivity and hormone exposure need careful evaluation.
That’s why a personalized medical approach is essential.

Hormones can be measured at any stage of life — and testing helps us understand where your balance stands.

Whether through blood, urine, saliva, or even hair, different methods provide different levels of detail.
Once we know whether hormones are balanced, low, or elevated, we can personalize care to match your body’s needs.
