What is Hormone Therapy (HRT)?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment designed to supplement the hormones your body no longer produces in sufficient quantities due to age, menopause, or other health conditions. HRT can help alleviate many of the uncomfortable symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances, including:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Mood swings and irritability
- Fatigue and low energy
- Sleep disturbances
- Memory problems and brain fog
- Low libido and sexual dysfunction
- Thinning skin and hair loss
HRT works by replenishing hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone, depending on your needs. This treatment can be delivered through various forms, including oral tablets, patches, gels, or hormone injections.
How Hormone Therapy HRT Works?
HRT works by replenishing the hormones that your body no longer produces in adequate amounts. These hormones include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and sometimes thyroid hormones, depending on your individual needs. By carefully adjusting and replacing these hormones, we can reduce or eliminate the symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances.
There are different types of hormone replacement therapies available:
- Estrogen Therapy: Primarily used for women experiencing menopause, estrogen therapy helps alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.
- Progesterone Therapy: Used alongside estrogen for women who still have their uterus, progesterone helps prevent endometrial cancer and supports a healthy balance of hormones.
- Testosterone Therapy: For both men and women, testosterone therapy can address low libido, muscle weakness, and fatigue, as well as support bone health.
- Thyroid Hormone Replacement: For those with thyroid dysfunction, this therapy helps regulate metabolism, energy levels, and mood.
Hormone replacement therapy can be delivered in a variety of ways, depending on what’s best for you. The most common methods include:
- Pills or Tablets: Oral medication is one of the most common forms of HRT.
- Transdermal Patches: These patches are applied to the skin and deliver a steady dose of hormones.
- Topical Creams or Gels: These are applied directly to the skin for easy absorption.
- Injections or Pellets: Hormones are injected or placed under the skin, releasing gradually over time.
At Ascends Natural Medicine, Dr. Lakshmi Nandyala will work closely with you to choose the right method of HRT based on your symptoms, health history, and personal preferences.
How Do We Approach HRT at Ascends Natural Medicine?

Dr. Lakshmi Nandyala begins by carefully evaluating your symptoms and conducting appropriate tests to assess your hormone levels. Based on the results, we’ll create a tailored treatment plan that restores balance and addresses your unique needs.
Our focus is on providing hormone therapy that works with your body, not against it.

We also incorporate lifestyle recommendations, such as dietary changes, stress management, and exercise, to support long-term health and well-being.
With our holistic approach, you can expect to not only feel better but also gain a deeper understanding of your body’s needs. We’re here to guide you through every step of your hormone therapy journey, ensuring that you receive the most effective and natural care possible.
Benefits of Hormone Therapy at Ascends Natural Medicine
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a natural and highly effective treatment designed to restore balance to your body’s hormones, addressing the root causes of many hormonal imbalances. By replenishing the hormones your body is lacking or overproducing, BHRT offers a wide range of benefits that can dramatically improve your overall health and quality of life.
Here are some of the key benefits you can expect from hormone therapy replacement:
Improved Energy and Vitality
Hormonal imbalances frequently result in chronic fatigue and diminished energy levels, hindering your ability to cope with everyday demands. Our treatments enhance hormone production, rejuvenating your energy and empowering you to confidently tackle life's challenges.
Better Emotional Well-Being
Fluctuations in hormone levels can significantly affect your mood, leading to anxiety, depression, or irritability. Our therapies address these imbalances to stabilize your emotions, promote mental clarity, and support a more positive state of mind.
Support for Weight Management
Struggling with unexplained weight changes can be frustrating and disheartening. Our customized plans regulate metabolism by addressing thyroid or insulin imbalances, helping you achieve and maintain a healthy weight more effectively.
Better Sleep Quality
Hormonal disruptions can interfere with your ability to fall or stay asleep, leaving you feeling unrested and fatigued. Our treatments target imbalances in melatonin, cortisol, and other hormones to restore restful sleep, enhancing overall well-being.
Boosted Libido and Sexual Health
Sexual dysfunction or a lack of desire can stem from low testosterone, estrogen imbalances, or stress. Our personalized hormone therapies restore balance to these essential hormones, reigniting your libido and improving sexual satisfaction.
Improved Skin and Hair Health
Skin issues like dryness, acne, or premature aging and hair thinning are often signs of hormonal imbalance. By restoring harmony to your hormones, our treatments enhance skin hydration, clarity, and elasticity while promoting healthier, fuller hair growth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hormone Therapy Replacement
Hormone treatment can be a transformative step in improving your overall well-being, but it's common to have questions about the process. 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.
