Welcome to Ascends Natural Medicine - Gilbert, AZ
Achieve Hormonal Balance Naturally with Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
At Ascends Natural Medicine, we understand that hormonal imbalances can significantly impact your quality of life, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, low libido, and poor sleep. Whether you're experiencing the effects of menopause, andropause, thyroid disorders, or adrenal fatigue, finding the right hormonal balance is essential for maintaining energy, vitality, and overall wellness.
That’s where Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) comes in. Unlike conventional hormone therapy, BHRT uses plant-based, naturally derived hormones that closely mimic the hormones your body produces, making it a safe, effective, and personalized approach to restoring balance. At Ascends Natural Medicine in Gilbert, AZ, Dr. Lakshmi Nandyala, NMD, specializes in customized BHRT solutions designed to help you feel your best—naturally. With years of expertise in naturopathic medicine and hormone health, Dr. Nandyala, NMD provides comprehensive hormone testing, advanced diagnostic techniques, and tailored treatment plans to address the root cause of your symptoms.
Our approach goes beyond just treating imbalances—we focus on holistic wellness, incorporating nutrition, lifestyle support, and natural therapies to ensure long-term success.
Understanding Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT)
Hormones play a critical role in maintaining overall health and well-being. They regulate essential bodily functions, including metabolism, energy levels, mood, sleep, reproductive health, and cognitive function. However, as we age or experience lifestyle stressors, our hormone levels can become imbalanced, leading to a variety of frustrating and even debilitating symptoms.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a natural approach to hormone balance, using plant-derived hormones that are chemically identical to those produced by your body. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are customized to match your individual needs, providing a safer and more effective alternative to traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Common Hormonal Imbalances Treated with BHRT:
✅ Menopause & Perimenopause – Hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings
✅ Andropause (Low Testosterone in Men) – Fatigue, low libido, and muscle loss
✅ Thyroid Disorders – Hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and Hashimoto’s disease
✅ Adrenal Dysfunction – Chronic fatigue, stress, and cortisol imbalances
✅ Estrogen & Progesterone Imbalances – Mood swings, irregular periods, and infertility
✅ Insulin Resistance & Metabolic Health – Weight gain, cravings, and energy crashes
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, a comprehensive hormone assessment with Dr. Lakshmi Nandyala, NMD can determine whether BHRT is right for you. We specialize in personalized hormone therapy to help you restore balance, improve vitality, and enhance your quality of life.
Why Do Hormone Levels Decline?
Hormonal imbalances can occur for many reasons, including:
✔ Aging – As you enter your 30s and 40s, hormone production naturally slows down, leading to noticeable changes.
✔ Menopause & Andropause – Women experience a decline in estrogen and progesterone, while men see lower testosterone levels.
✔ Thyroid Dysfunction – Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can disrupt energy levels, metabolism, and weight regulation.
✔ Chronic Stress – Excess cortisol production can negatively affect the adrenal glands, leading to burnout and fatigue.
✔ Nutritional Deficiencies – Poor diet and lack of key nutrients can contribute to hormonal imbalances.
✔ Environmental Toxins – Endocrine-disrupting chemicals in food, skincare, and plastics can interfere with hormone production.
How BHRT Works to Restore Balance?
At Ascends Natural Medicine, Dr. Lakshmi Nandyala, NMD, takes a personalized approach to hormone therapy by first conducting comprehensive lab testing to assess your current hormone levels. Based on your unique needs, she designs a customized treatment plan that may include:
✅ Bioidentical Estrogen & Progesterone – To support women experiencing menopause or PMS symptoms.
✅ Testosterone Therapy – For both men and women struggling with low libido, fatigue, and muscle loss.
✅ Thyroid Hormone Optimization – To improve metabolism, energy, and cognitive function.
✅ Adrenal Support Therapy – To address cortisol imbalances and chronic stress.
✅ Lifestyle & Nutritional Guidance – To naturally support your hormone health and long-term well-being.
The Benefits of Choosing Hormone Therapy Bioidentical (BHRT)
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) offers a natural, effective, and personalized solution to hormonal imbalances, helping you restore vitality and improve overall well-being. Unlike conventional hormone therapies, BHRT uses plant-derived hormones that are structurally identical to the ones your body naturally produces, allowing for better absorption, fewer side effects, and optimal results.
Here are the key benefits of choosing BHRT at Ascends Natural Medicine:
Natural and Safe Hormone Replacement
Bioidentical hormones are carefully formulated to match your body’s own hormones, making them safer and more effective than synthetic alternatives. They support natural hormone function without unwanted side effects or risks.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Each patient receives a customized treatment plan based on comprehensive hormone testing and evaluation. Our approach ensures precise dosing and optimal hormone balance for long-term symptom relief and better health.
Better Sleep Quality
Hormone fluctuations can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to insomnia and poor rest. BHRT helps regulate melatonin, cortisol, and estrogen levels, allowing for deep, restorative sleep and refreshed mornings.
Weight Management Support
Unbalanced hormones can make weight loss difficult, even with diet and exercise. BHRT improves metabolism, reduces insulin resistance, and promotes fat burning, making it easier to maintain a healthy body weight.
Enhanced Mood and Mental Clarity
Hormonal imbalances can contribute to mood swings, irritability, and brain fog. BHRT promotes mental clarity, emotional stability, and a positive outlook by optimizing neurotransmitter function and stress response.
Stronger Bones and Joint Health
Aging and hormonal changes can lead to bone density loss and joint discomfort. BHRT strengthens bones, supports calcium absorption, and reduces inflammation, helping prevent osteoporosis and joint pain.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hormone Therapy Bioidentical
At Ascends Natural Medicine, we believe in providing you with clear, accurate information to help you make informed decisions about your health. Below, we’ve addressed some of the most frequently asked questions about hormone treatment to guide you on your journey toward balance and wellness.
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) involves using plant-based hormones that are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body. BHRT is a natural and effective way to restore hormonal balance, helping to alleviate symptoms associated with menopause, perimenopause, thyroid disorders, and more. These hormones are typically delivered in the form of creams, gels, pellets, or oral medications.
If you're experiencing symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, or brain fog, it could be a sign of a hormonal imbalance. The best way to know if hormone therapy is right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Lakshmi Nandyala. We will conduct a thorough evaluation, including blood tests, to assess your hormone levels and determine the most effective treatment plan for your needs.
BHRT can help alleviate a wide range of symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances, including:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Fatigue and low energy
- Mood swings, anxiety, and depression
- Sleep disturbances
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Decreased libido
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Skin changes and hair thinning
Results vary depending on the individual, but many patients start to feel improvements within a few weeks to a couple of months after beginning BHRT. These improvements may include increased energy, better mood, improved sleep, and relief from symptoms like hot flashes. It’s important to work with Dr. Nandyala to regularly monitor your hormone levels and adjust treatment as necessary to achieve the best results.
Hormone treatment can provide a range of benefits, depending on your specific symptoms and needs. Some of the most common benefits include:
- Restored energy levels
- Improved mood and emotional well-being
- Better sleep quality
- Enhanced libido and sexual function
- Support for weight management
- Reduction in hot flashes, night sweats, and other menopause-related symptoms
- Improved skin health and hair vitality
Yes, lifestyle changes play an important role in supporting hormonal health. Nutrition, exercise, stress management, and sleep hygiene are all crucial factors in maintaining balanced hormones. Dr. Nandyala will provide you with personalized guidance on diet and lifestyle modifications that complement your hormone treatment and enhance overall well-being. Eating a balanced diet, managing stress effectively, and staying physically active can all improve your response to treatment.
Hormone imbalances are typically diagnosed through a combination of reviewing your symptoms, medical history, and specialized lab testing. Common tests may include thyroid hormone panels (TSH, T3, T4), reproductive hormone testing (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), adrenal function assessments (cortisol levels), and blood sugar regulation tests. Based on the results of these tests, Dr. Nandyala will create a personalized treatment plan to restore balance and improve your health.
The duration of hormone treatment depends on the nature of the hormonal imbalance and your individual response to therapy. Some patients may only require treatment for a few months, while others may need long-term therapy to maintain balanced hormone levels. Dr. Nandyala will monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan to ensure you achieve optimal health.
Not necessarily. The goal of hormone treatment is to restore balance, and many patients can maintain improved hormonal health with fewer interventions over time. In some cases, lifestyle changes and other complementary therapies may help you maintain balanced hormones without ongoing treatment. Regular check-ups with Dr. Nandyala will allow us to adjust your treatment plan as needed to suit your evolving health needs.
Yes, BHRT is considered safe when administered under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider, like Dr. Lakshmi Nandyala. Because the hormones used in BHRT are structurally identical to the ones your body produces naturally, they are well-tolerated by most individuals. However, as with any medical treatment, it’s important to undergo a thorough evaluation and have your progress regularly monitored to ensure safety and effectiveness.
