Functional medicine provides a framework for improving hormone production and detoxification while achieving greater balance through lifestyle and nutrition interventions. Rise’s virtual functional medicine program utilizes a holistic approach to understanding and improving your hormonal health from the comfort of your own home. 

The Holistic Approach May Include Hormone Therapy 

As we navigate perimenopause and menopause, fluctuations in estrogen and declining progesterone are common culprits of hormone symptoms.

I may suggest estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone replacement with bio-identical hormones as a part of the holistic approach. Testosterone therapy is currently available to Washington, D.C. and Florida patients only.

Hormone replacement therapy may yield the following results:

  • Preservation of bone density

  • Improvements in sex drive

  • Resolution of urinary incontinence symptoms

  • Relief from depression, anxiety, mood swings, and irritability

  • Enhanced energy and mental clarity

  • Improvement in muscle strength

  • Restored sleep

  • Reduction in risk of cardiovascular disease

  • Reduction in risk of dementia 

If you’ve been reluctant to talk to your doctor about hormone or menopause-related issues, consider a consultation with me.
