Menopause is a natural transition that typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 as a woman's ovaries stop producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone. As estrogen levels decline, it can trigger symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, trouble sleeping, and more.
While menopause is a normal part of aging, addressing menopause symptoms through hormone therapy can provide relief and allow women to continue enjoying life to the fullest. At HormoneHealth Clinic in Eightmile, Alabama, we offer customized menopause treatment plans to help women balance their hormone levels and manage symptoms.

The first step is always meeting with a qualified menopause specialist for thorough lab testing and evaluation of your unique needs.
Comprehensive lab tests are crucial because they allow us to analyze your estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid and other hormone levels to create a customized treatment plan. Testing typically includes:
Reviewing your full medical history along with these test results provides the insights we need to determine the optimal hormones and doses to resolve your symptoms and meet treatment goals.
After testing, we develop a customized menopause treatment plan using carefully calibrated bioidentical hormones tailored to your individual hormonal needs.
Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the estrogen, progesterone and testosterone produced by your own body. This allows them to bind to your hormone receptors and mimic the action of your natural hormones.
The key advantages of bioidentical hormones include:
Balancing your bioidentical hormones alleviates uncomfortable symptoms while also delivering protective health benefits.
We closely monitor your progress through follow up visits and saliva testing to ensure your customized bioidentical hormone therapy continues meeting treatment goals. This includes tracking:
Careful oversight ensures optimal symptom relief while also keeping you as healthy as possible through the menopause transition and beyond.
