Hormone-informed care near Lighthouse Point Yacht Club and the Venetian Waterway
We order labs when the history of thyroid HRT women suggests endocrine contribution. We do not diagnose menopause from a mood adjective.
Clinical scope of Women's Hormone Therapy in Broward County
Hot flash care can improve sleep continuity, which then improves daytime mood scores.
Progesterone therapy can help some sleep/anxiety pictures and worsen others — that is why follow-up exists.
Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
Do you treat postpartum depression?
We evaluate and treat. Postpartum psychosis is an emergency.
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
Is brain fog always menopause?
No. Sleep, ADHD, depression, B12, and thyroid are on the list.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
Can HRT replace my antidepressant?
Sometimes mood improves when sleep and vasomotor symptoms improve. Sometimes you still need a psychotropic. We do not promise a swap.
Do you offer pharmacogenetic testing?
Yes. We offer pharmacogenetic (GeneSight) testing to determine which psychiatric medications are most likely to be effective for your specific genetic makeup, reducing trial-and-error in medication selection.
What makes your evaluations comprehensive?
Our initial evaluations last 60-90 minutes and include clinical assessment, review of functional lab options, hormone screening discussion, and a personalized treatment plan — not a 15-minute med check.
