Hormone Therapy for Women
Balanced hormones. Better energy. Clearer mind.
If you’ve been thinking:
“I just don’t feel like myself anymore.”
You’re not imagining it — and you’re not alone.
Hormonal changes in your 40s and 50s can leave you feeling disconnected from your body. You might feel exhausted, irritable, anxious, foggy, or like your libido disappeared overnight. Even when your labs look “normal,” you know something isn’t right.
This isn’t aging. This is a hormone imbalance. And we can help.
Balanced hormones. Better energy. Clearer mind.

We also offer options for women who’ve had a hysterectomy, early menopause, or who want a non-hormonal approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does hormone therapy increase the risk of blood clots?
That depends on the type and route of hormone therapy. Oral (pill-based) estrogen can slightly increase the risk of blood clots in some women. However, transdermal estrogen — delivered through a patch or gel — has not been shown to significantly increase clot risk in healthy women.
At Vivagen Health, we prioritize safety by:
- Using transdermal estrogen whenever possible
- Carefully screening for clotting risk factors (like personal or family history of clots)
- Avoiding therapy in women with active clotting disorders unless cleared by a specialist
What is hormone therapy for women?
Hormone therapy helps restore declining levels of estrogen and progesterone during perimenopause and menopause. This can relieve symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, mood swings, and low libido. Our therapy is personalized based on lab work and how you feel.
What symptoms can hormone therapy help with?
Common symptoms that respond well to hormone therapy include:
- Hot flashes & night sweats
- Fatigue or poor sleep
- Brain fog or forgetfulness
- Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
- Low libido & vaginal dryness
- Weight gain or bloating
- Feeling like “something’s off”
Is hormone therapy safe?
Yes — when prescribed and monitored by a qualified provider, hormone therapy is considered safe for most women, especially if started within 10 years of menopause onset to around the age of 60. We carefully assess your health history and risk factors before starting treatment.
I’ve been told my labs are “normal.” Can I still benefit?
Yes. Many women have “normal” hormone levels on paper but still experience real symptoms. We treat you, not just the lab results. Our goal is to help you feel better — with or without textbook hormone values.
What forms of hormone therapy are available?
We offer a variety of options based on your lifestyle and goals, including:
- Estrogen patches or gels
- Progesterone capsules or creams
- Vaginal estrogen (for dryness or discomfort)
- Combination therapy when appropriate
Do I need both estrogen and progesterone?
If you still have your uterus, you’ll typically need both. Progesterone protects the uterine lining from estrogen’s effects. If you’ve had a hysterectomy, estrogen-only therapy may be appropriate.
What about testosterone for women?
Testosterone plays a role in libido, energy, and mood. For some women, adding low-dose testosterone can be beneficial. We’ll discuss this during your evaluation if it’s appropriate for your goals.
How soon will I feel better?
Some women notice improvements within 1–2 weeks. Others may take 4–6 weeks to feel full benefits. We monitor your progress closely and make adjustments as needed.
How often will I need follow-ups?
We typically recheck labs and review your progress every 3 months early on, then every 6–12 months once you’re stable. You’ll always have access to our team for questions or concerns between visits.
