Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women

Perimenopause and menopause can change how you feel from the inside out. Our Denver team uses comprehensive labs and physician-supervised care to help you find relief and feel steady again.

Perimenopause & menopause symptoms

As estrogen, progesterone, and other hormones shift during perimenopause and menopause, many women notice changes that ripple through everyday life. You don't have to push through them alone, and you don't have to accept them as simply "part of getting older." Common symptoms include:

  • Hot flashes and night sweats
  • Disrupted sleep — trouble falling or staying asleep
  • Mood swings and irritability
  • Brain fog — trouble focusing or remembering
  • Low libido and vaginal dryness
  • Fatigue and low energy
  • Weight changes — especially around the midsection
Every woman's transition is different. A clinician can determine how much of what you're feeling is hormone-related through evaluation and comprehensive lab testing — so your plan fits you, not a template.

What hormone therapy can address

Hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, restores hormones — such as estrogen and progesterone — that decline during perimenopause and menopause. Under physician supervision, the goal is to ease symptoms and help you feel more like yourself, with a plan tailored to your labs and history.

Many women find that, over time, a well-managed plan helps with:

  • Fewer and less intense hot flashes and night sweats
  • Better, more restful sleep
  • Steadier mood and mental clarity
  • Renewed energy and libido
  • Relief from vaginal dryness and discomfort

Bioidentical hormones

You may have heard the term "bioidentical hormones." These are hormones that are structurally identical to the ones your body makes naturally, and they may be used as part of a hormone therapy plan when appropriate. Your clinician will explain the available options and recommend what fits your needs, preferences, and medical history.

Results vary by individual. Your clinician will set realistic expectations and explain the benefits and risks for your situation.

The XCell Approach

Personalized, supervised, and monitored

We start with your story and your labs, then build a plan that's reviewed and adjusted by a licensed clinician over time.

1

Consult

A thoughtful conversation about your symptoms, history, and what you want to feel better.

2

Test

Comprehensive bloodwork clarifies what's shifting so your plan is based on real data.

3

Treat

If appropriate, your provider designs a hormone therapy plan tailored to your needs.

4

Monitor

Follow-up labs and check-ins keep your plan safe and effective, with adjustments as you go.

Care personalized to you. There's no universal dose. Your provider tailors and adjusts your plan to your labs, symptoms, and history — we don't publish specific dosing because that's a clinical decision made with you.
