Perimenopause and menopause bring significant hormonal shifts that can disrupt sleep, mood, weight, and sexual health. Many women are told these symptoms are just a normal part of aging and that they simply need to push through. At Cima Health in Palm Beach Gardens, we take a different approach. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can relieve these symptoms and help women feel like themselves again.
What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy restores estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone to levels that support optimal function. When these hormones decline during perimenopause and menopause, the resulting imbalances can cause hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, weight gain, joint pain, difficulty sleeping, and cognitive changes commonly described as brain fog.
HRT is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. At Cima Health we build a plan based on your symptoms, lab work, personal history, and goals.
Bioidentical vs. Synthetic Hormones
We specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), which uses hormones that are molecularly identical to what your body produces naturally. We discuss the options with you and explain the evidence so you can make an informed choice.
Common Symptoms We Treat
Women come to us with a wide range of concerns. Hot flashes and night sweats that disrupt sleep are among the most common. Others struggle with weight gain despite not changing their diet or activity level, low libido, vaginal dryness that makes intimacy uncomfortable, anxiety, depression, or the kind of mental fogginess that makes it hard to concentrate at work or stay sharp in daily life.
Hormonal imbalances can also contribute to bone loss and cardiovascular changes. We look at the full picture and work to protect your long-term health, not just manage symptoms in the short term.
Our Approach at Cima Health
Your first visit includes a detailed review of your symptoms and comprehensive lab work covering estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid hormones, and other relevant markers. We build a custom protocol based on your results and revisit it regularly as your needs change.
We also look at lifestyle factors that affect hormone balance, including stress, sleep, nutrition, and gut health. Hormones do not exist in isolation, and lasting results require addressing the full picture.
Is HRT Right for You?
HRT is appropriate for many women in perimenopause and menopause, but we review your individual history carefully. Women with certain types of hormone-sensitive cancers or blood clot disorders may not be good candidates, and we screen thoroughly before recommending any protocol.
