Women's Bioidentical Hormone Therapy in Scarsdale, NY and Greenwich, CT

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones structurally identical to those the female body produces naturally — including estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA — to restore optimal levels in women experiencing hormonal decline from perimenopause, menopause, surgical menopause, or premature ovarian insufficiency.

SeeBeyond Medicine prescribes bioidentical hormones through licensed compounding pharmacies in forms tailored to each patient: transdermal creams, sublingual troches, or pellet implants. Your delivery method matches your lifestyle and absorption profile.

This personalized approach avoids the standardized dosing of conventional hormone prescriptions. SeeBeyond Medicine calibrates every protocol to your DUTCH test and serum results, then monitors and adjusts as your body responds.

What Is Menopause?

Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's menstrual cycles and reproductive years, usually between ages 45 and 55. As the ovaries produce less estrogen and progesterone, nearly every system in the body feels the change. Common symptoms include:

• Hot flashes and night sweats that disrupt sleep
• Irregular periods before cycles stop completely
• Mood changes — depression, anxiety, and mood swings
• Vaginal dryness and urinary changes
• Difficulty falling or staying asleep
• More frequent or severe headaches
• Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
• Daytime fatigue unrelated to activity level
• Trouble concentrating and recalling words or names
• Joint and muscle aches
• Dry skin, thinning hair, and reduced skin elasticity
• Decreased sex drive

Hormone replacement therapy relieves many of these symptoms — though it is not suitable for every woman, which is why SeeBeyond Medicine tests before treating.

The Hormones We Test and Restore

Testosterone supports muscle mass, bone density, fat distribution, and sex drive in women. Levels begin declining naturally after age 30.

Estrogen regulates the menstrual cycle and the female reproductive system. Ovarian production drops sharply after menopause.

Progesterone governs the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Production declines with menopause.

DHEA is an adrenal precursor to estrogen and testosterone that peaks in your 20s. Restoring it supports mood, energy, memory, and immune function.

Pregnenolone is the precursor to progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, and DHEA. Supplementation has been suggested to benefit energy, mood, and memory.

Beyond menopause, hormone replacement also addresses hypothyroidism, growth hormone deficiency, Addison's disease, pituitary disorders, and hormone loss after surgical removal of hormone-producing organs.

Benefits of BHRT

• Enhanced sex drive and sexual sensation
• Improved weight management and fat reduction
• Increased lean muscle mass
• Boosted focus, motivation, and mental clarity
• Mood stabilization
• Improved bone density and reduced osteoporosis risk
• Better skin elasticity through restored collagen production

Low Testosterone in Women

Low testosterone often goes unrecognized in women. It can show up as lack of motivation, low energy, cognitive and memory issues, reduced bone density, mood changes, increased fat storage, declining muscle mass and strength, and changes in hair growth. Testosterone replacement at physiological doses restores libido, mood, energy, cognitive function, and body composition.

Lifestyle Practices That Support Hormonal Balance

Hormone therapy works best alongside consistent physical activity, effective stress reduction, a nutrient-rich diet, quality sleep, minimized exposure to environmental pollutants, and moderated caffeine and alcohol intake. SeeBeyond Medicine builds these practices into every protocol.
