Women’s Health in Williamsburg VA
Although our primary focus is men’s health, we are pleased to offer services that are tailored to meet the needs of women 35 years of age and older.
At NPeak Health Services, our goal is to help you feel like yourself again through our comprehensive range of services focusing on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and medical weight loss.
As women age, their hormone levels naturally decline, causing an acceleration in the ageing process, as well as a range of physical and emotional symptoms in women, towards their late 40’s and 50s.
If you are experiencing hot flashes, low energy, poor sleep, low libido, vaginal dryness, and weight gain, it’s possible you’re going through menopause, which occurs in the late 40s to early 50s and is defined as the absence of menses for 1 full year or perimenopause, which occurs in the early to mid-40s and is known as the transitional period between a woman’s reproductive years and menopause.
Up to 80% of women experience vasomotor symptoms, varying in severity, due to hormonal changes, specifically a decline in estrogen and progesterone levels, which can significantly impact their quality of life.
At NPeak Health Services, our approach helps restore hormone balance, support menopause relief, provide anti-aging benefits, and enhance long-term wellbeing. We utilize bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help women optimize their hormone levels and resolve common side-effects of menopause so they can feel like themselves and enjoy activities like sex, exercise, and sleep. We also provide a variety of medical weight loss programs to help you on your journey to wellness.
Understanding Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
BHRT is a form of hormone replacement therapy that uses hormone identical in molecular structure to those produced naturally by the human body. Unlike conventional HRT, which uses synthetic hormones, BHRT is derived from plant sources, such as yams and soybeans, and custom-compounded to match an individual’s specific hormone needs. The most common BHRT are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
BHRT works by supplementing the body’s natural hormone levels, which can decline due to aging, menopause, or other factors such as stress, lifestyle choices, and certain medical conditions. By restoring hormone balance, BHRT aims to alleviate symptoms and improve overall wellbeing.
The process of BHRT typically involves a comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s hormone levels through blood test. Based on the results, a formulation (creams, gels, or patches) specific to you needs will be prescribed to you.
