Menopause Society Certified Practitioner
Menopause is a natural transition, but you don't have to suffer through it. We offer personalized BHRT protocols to restore the hormonal balance your body needs to feel like yourself again.
Around 1.3 million women enter menopause each year in the United States. The average age of onset is 51, but perimenopause can begin in the mid-40s and last 4 to 8 years. About 85% of women experience at least one disruptive symptom.
These symptoms are driven by declining levels of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone that affect nearly every system in your body. The good news: they're treatable.

Hot flashes last an average of 7.4 years. (SWAN Study, 2015)
Only about 25% of symptomatic women seek treatment. You don't have to be one of the 75% who suffer in silence.
Get Your Hormone EvaluationBioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. Unlike synthetic hormones (such as conjugated equine estrogens or medroxyprogesterone), bioidentical formulations like estradiol and micronized progesterone are designed to work with your body's existing receptor systems.
The landmark 2002 Women's Health Initiative study raised concerns about hormone therapy, but those findings were specific to synthetic formulations (Premarin + Provera). Subsequent research, including the E3N French cohort study, found that women using micronized progesterone showed no increased breast cancer risk, unlike those on synthetic progestins.
HRT has been shown to reduce hot flash frequency by 75-95% and significantly improve sleep quality, mood stability, and vaginal health according to Cochrane Reviews.

When prescribed and monitored by a qualified physician, BHRT has a favorable safety profile. The KEEPS trial and E3N cohort study both showed positive outcomes with bioidentical formulations. Dr. Strand monitors your levels regularly and adjusts your protocol to minimize risk and maximize benefit.
Bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to what your body produces naturally. Traditional HRT often uses synthetic hormones like conjugated equine estrogens (Premarin) and medroxyprogesterone (Provera), which have different molecular structures and were the formulations studied in the 2002 WHI trial that raised safety concerns.
Many women notice improvements in sleep, mood, and hot flashes within 2-4 weeks. Full optimization typically takes 2-3 months as we dial in your dosage based on follow-up labs and symptom tracking.
Depending on your lab results and symptoms, your protocol may include estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA. Each is dosed individually based on your unique biochemistry.
