Personalized Hormone Therapy for Menopause and Perimenopause
When hormones change, nights can feel restless, and mornings start with exhaustion that doesn’t fade. Hot flashes, mood swings, and foggy thinking can leave you feeling unlike yourself. At Flora Naturopathics, our licensed providers offer Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) through compassionate telehealth care to help women find relief, regain stability, and feel at home in their bodies again.
Considering Hormone Therapy, But Want to Understand It First?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment that replenishes hormones the body naturally produces less of during menopause and perimenopause, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
Lower levels of these hormones can contribute to symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, mood changes, and decreased energy or libido. By restoring healthy hormone levels, HRT can help reduce symptoms and support bone, heart, and cognitive health over time.
Studies show that about 1 to 2.5 million women in the U.S. over age 40 use compounded bioidentical hormones, reflecting a growing demand for natural, individualized care.
What Are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are plant-derived compounds designed to match the hormones your body produces. They help restore balance when estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone levels shift. Some are FDA-approved, while others are custom-compounded by pharmacies to fit individual needs. Both can offer a natural-feeling approach to hormone health and symptom relief.
Conventional vs. Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
Both conventional and bioidentical hormone therapies aim to restore balance, but they work differently. Conventional therapy often uses synthetic hormones that the body may not process as smoothly. Bioidentical hormones are designed to mirror your body’s natural chemistry, helping maintain equilibrium in a way that feels gentle, natural, and more in tune with your body’s rhythm.
When Hormones Become Unbalanced
As women enter their late 30s, 40s, and 50s, hormone levels begin to shift. These changes are a normal part of aging but can affect how you feel every day. You may start to notice new symptoms that touch nearly every part of life, from sleep and mood to relationships and focus.
You might be experiencing:
- Hot flashes or night sweats that interrupt rest
- Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety that feel new
- Brain fog or forgetfulness
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Lower libido or energy
- Unexplained weight gain or body composition changes
- Difficulty sleeping or staying asleep
These symptoms are common during perimenopause and menopause, but you do not have to simply push through them. Hormone replacement therapy can help realign your body’s natural rhythm so you can feel like yourself again.
Understanding Menopause and Perimenopause
Hormone changes during menopause and perimenopause are different for every woman. Some experience gradual shifts, while others feel sudden changes that affect mood, sleep, or daily comfort.

How Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Works
During menopause and perimenopause, hormonal shifts can influence metabolism, mood, and overall well-being. BHRT replenishes these hormones in carefully tailored doses based on your lab results and symptoms.
Your provider may prescribe bioidentical hormones in forms such as:
- Transdermal creams or gels
- Oral capsules
- Sublingual drops
- Vaginal rings or suppositories
Your progress is monitored through regular telehealth check-ins to ensure your hormones stay balanced and your body adjusts comfortably.
