As many as 85% of women approaching menopause (peri-menopausal) ride an emotional roller coaster resulting from hormonal imbalances. Accompanying this often disruptive emotional turmoil, they also can experience physical symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep loss, and a diminishing or severe loss of sexual desire.

Today, 17 million women find relief from these symptoms through bioidentical and pellet hormone replacement therapy (HRT). In addition to easing menopause symptoms, HRT can also reduce the risk of colon cancer and slow bone density loss (osteoporosis).

At Understanding Women, we assess each woman's particular condition, family history, and needs to help them weigh the benefits and potential risks of HRT. We help women make careful, informed decisions about their health.
