Menopause is a natural transition that all women go through, marking the end of menstrual cycles. The years leading up to menopause are called perimenopause, when hormone levels become irregular but periods may still occur. The average age for menopause is 51, but it can happen anytime between the ages of 40-55.
During perimenopause and menopause, dropping estrogen levels cause a variety of symptoms. While each woman's experience is unique, common symptoms include:
Hormone changes during menopause also increase risks for certain health conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease. When symptoms interfere with sleep, work, or relationships, it's important to seek treatment for relief.
Hormone therapy (HT) can provide safe, effective relief for menopause symptoms when tailored to each woman's needs. The main goal is restoring balance as the body transitions into this new stage of life.
Benefits provided by HT include:
At Revive Hormone Institute, we offer both systemic estrogen therapy for whole-body relief, along with localized vaginal estrogen products. Treatment plans are fully customized after in-depth lab testing and analysis. We carefully monitor progress to achieve optimal balance without overdoing any hormones.
Rather than synthetic hormones made from artificial progestins, Revive Hormone Institute provides carefully-formulated bioidentical hormones - molecularly identical to the estradiol, progesterone and testosterone produced naturally in the body. This allows precision targeting of deficiencies for safer, more effective treatment.
For systemic hormone therapy, we offer pellet implants as the most cutting-edge innovation available. These rice-grain sized pellets are inserted under the skin every 3-6 months, providing steady 24/7 hormone delivery without pills, patches, or frequent dose adjustments. Convenience and consistency lead to better compliance and enhanced treatment outcomes.

The transition into menopause ushers in both physical and emotional changes. As estrogen levels decline, most women endure symptoms bringing disrupted sleep, mood swings, pain or discomfort. Outlook transforms from vitality in mature adulthood to aging decline.
Yet this natural shift can also launch positive growth and evolution. Through menopause we shed past versions of self, getting more in touch with our core being. We gain courage to live more fully, unbound from roles and expectations of youth. Though the body changes, inner spirit strengthens - bringing deeper wisdom, confidence and freedom.
At Revive Hormone Institute, we view menopause as a gateway to claim greater life purpose and joy. Our practitioners provide tools - through hormone optimization, lifestyle coaching, and cutting edge solutions - to alleviate discomforts holding clients back while igniting their best, most empowered self.
We see women not as aging, but blossoming. The practitioners at Revive Hormone Institute count it a privilege to be allies along the journey.
As women navigate the rollercoaster of perimenopause into full menopause, frustrating symptoms often prompt the question - should I consider hormone replacement? The decision when and how to treat bothersome symptoms is a highly personal one based on each woman's health profile and stage of the menopause transition.
There is no universal rule stating that every woman must take hormones or that no one should. Careful evaluation of individual factors helps determine whether hormone therapy is the right choice to provide relief.
Elements our practitioners weigh when advising clients on hormone replacement options include:
Through comprehensive lab testing, risk assessment, and lifestlye inventory, our doctors align treatment plans to each woman's unique health profile, goals and stage of transitional decline in hormones.
We partner with patients to optimize balance, energy and comfort during menopause while proactively improving future health - forestalling aging and reducing risk of chronic disease. Hormone therapy remains highly individualized; no single approach works universally.
The practitioners at Revive Hormone Institute determine optimal courses of treatment based on the composite picture of women we serve, not just treating laboratory numbers. We operate from a place of empowering clients with information and options to make the most informed choices for their bodies and futures.
Within the realm of hormone replacement therapy, many women seeking treatment for perimenopausal and menopausal changes wish to specifically pursue bioidentical hormone therapy. As leaders in the field of bioidentical hormone pellet therapy and optimization, Revive Hormone Institute fields frequent questions about who makes an ideal candidate for this particular type of regimen.
Bioidentical hormones consist of estradiol, testosterone and progesterone made to be molecularly identical to the hormones produced naturally within a woman’s body. This allows precise biologic signaling to activate deficient receptors with efficient absorption and utility of the matching molecules.
Synthetic hormones or conventional HRT utilize chemicals which do not fully match human hormones. Progestins like Provera widely trigger unpleasant side effects absent with bioidentical progesterone. Premarin contains mare estrogen unfamiliar to human receptor sites. Thus, bioidentical hormones integrate seamlessly to more elegantly restore optimal balance within existing physiology.
While specific contraindications exist based on some medical conditions, bioidentical hormones provide an excellent option to naturally address deficiencies leading to symptoms commonly associated with hormone imbalance across the menopause transition.
Candidates include women who desire:
The goal of bioidentical hormone therapy is NOT aggressive supplementation with mega-doses of hormones. Our approach restores optimal levels naturally declining with ovarian aging. We prescribe just enough to gently fill deficiencies prompting complaints. This leads to better safety and tolerance while achieving sought-after benefits.
Through comprehensive evaluation, Revive Hormone Institute helps determine which women make good candidates for bioidentical hormone pellet therapy to enhance function and vitality during and beyond the menopause transition.
