HRT for Menopause in Escondido

Perimenopause is a gradual transition during which hormonal fluctuations become more pronounced. Symptoms can persist for up to ten years, but some women reach menopause within three to four years. Officially, you reach menopause after twelve consecutive months without a period, indicating a significant reduction in hormone production and the end of the reproductive years.

Hormones, especially estrogen, influence various aspects of health, from energy levels and skin health to mood and overall vitality. Each woman experiences these changes differently, making personalized care essential.

Some women notice hormonal changes as early as their thirties—but it’s vital to remember that there are solutions. If you're experiencing any of the following, it might be time to explore how to maintain your quality of life:

• Hot flashes and night sweats: These sudden overwhelming temperature spikes can disrupt sleep and comfort.
• Fatigue: Activities that once brought joy, like hiking or playing sports, become exhausting.
• Skin and hair changes: Dry skin, wrinkles, thinning hair, or hair loss may indicate hormonal imbalances.
• Weight gain: Changes in metabolism make it challenging to maintain your physique despite regular exercise.
• Sleep disturbances: Insomnia affects your ability to feel refreshed and energized.
  

• Mood swings: Unexplained sadness, anxiety, or irritability can impact daily life and relationships.
• Decreased libido: A decline in sexual desire can complicate intimacy.
• Concentration issues: Struggling with memory and focus affects performance at work or home.
  

The team at Studio Med Spa knows that every woman’s menopause journey is unique. Our approach involves tailored care to help you maintain an active and fulfilling life.

We always begin with a comprehensive consultation where we discreetly discuss your medical history, symptoms and lifestyle. We understand that every individual requires a unique approach and pride ourselves in considering each client individually, down to the finest detail. 

Our registered nurses use blood test results to identify which hormone imbalances are the cause of your symptoms and to guide your BHRT dosage. We’ll discuss your BHRT journey thoroughly, and address your specific needs so that you know what to expect.

Physicians usually prescribe synthetic Estrogen in patch, oral or ointment form but many women don’t find the desired relief. Meanwhile the side effects add many trials to an already challenging experience. 

Bioidentical Hormones have the same chemical structure as the hormones our bodies produce naturally. They are derived from plants, such as Mexican yams, and the body absorbs them more readily.

In contrast, synthetic hormones like those found in Premarin have a similar but not identical structure to natural hormones. They are often derived from animal sources, such as horse urine.

BHRT enables personalized dosages depending on the individual’s hormone levels. We can tailor treatment to suit your unique body composition. Customized plans improve symptom relief and usually has fewer side effects. Synthetic hormones are usually a one-size-fits-all method that does not help everyone.

• Mood stability. As the effects of low progesterone, estrogen and other hormones improve, you will notice fewer emotionally charged experiences. 
• Libido. Your sexual drive will return to normal and a new intimacy with your partner could ensue.
• Energy levels. Optimal hormone balance and a clear mind will lead to enhanced vigor and creativity for a rich, full life.
• Sleep quality. Any medical practitioner will confirm that sleep is the bedrock of human well-being. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
• Skin health. Sometimes hormone shortages cause teenage-like skin issues that balanced hormones can eliminate.
• Weight management. Stress, irritation and tiredness make it virtually impossible to lose weight since the body is already under pressure just to maintain essential functions. But, don’t despair.

Fortunately, our Spa offers a range of services that enhance skin health and support weight management. Let’s discuss laser facial rejuvenation, Botox injections, platelet rich plasma or GLP-1 injections to enhance your newfound zest for life.

As your hormones balance and your body settles into a new way of being, you can add several tactics to maintain your weight and overall well-being.

• Exercise. Yoga, hiking, and swimming at least three times a week offers an outlet for stress and keeps you strong and flexible. 
• Diet. It’s recommended to eat enough whole foods, vegetables, fruits, healthy fats, like avocado and lean protein. 
• Mindfulness. Take time to slow down and spend time in nature and meditate daily to ensure a calm and clear mind. 
• Sleep. Finally, create a healthy sleeping routine and follow it every day. Switch off screens at least an hour before bed, quit drinking water at least two hours before crawling between the sheets and keep your room cool and dark.
