Women's Hormone Replacement Therapy in Fort Collins
Women's hormone replacement therapy in Fort Collins, designed around your labs, your symptoms, and your life stage. We offer bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone for perimenopause, menopause, and broader hormonal imbalance — with the kind of personalized care most women say they've never experienced before.
At Peak Medical Wellness, women's hormone care is led by a CNM and Advanced Practice Nurse — which means your treatment is grounded in a midwifery-informed understanding of the full arc of women's health, not a generic protocol. As a women-owned Fort Collins clinic, we start with comprehensive lab work rather than a symptom checklist alone, and your provider directs your dosing personally — adjusting it based on how you actually feel and what your follow-up labs show.
Unlike med-spa-style hormone programs, we treat hormone therapy as ongoing medical care: real evaluation, real follow-up, and a provider who knows your history.
Plant-derived hormones that match the body's own, dosed to your lab results to address fatigue, mood changes, sleep disruption, and low libido.
Tiny hormone pellets placed just under the skin that release a steady dose over 3–4 months — no daily pills or creams to remember.
Hormone therapy delivered by injection for patients who prefer or respond best to this method, with provider guidance on technique and timing.
Targeted care for hot flashes, night sweats, sleep problems, mood shifts, and other symptoms of the menopause transition.
Hormone and symptom-focused treatment for cyclical mood, energy, and physical symptoms tied to the menstrual cycle.
Comprehensive thyroid lab evaluation and treatment for fatigue, weight changes, and low energy — looking beyond standard “in-range” results.
Hormonal decline rarely shows up as one obvious symptom. More often, it's a cluster of changes that build up over years — and many women dismiss them as “just getting older” or “just stress.” Common symptoms our HRT program addresses:
If you're experiencing several of these, a comprehensive hormone panel is the logical first step. We start with labs — not assumptions — to figure out what's actually going on.
Hormonal changes don't wait for menopause to arrive. Perimenopause — the transition that begins as early as the mid-30s — is often when symptoms are most disruptive, because estrogen and progesterone levels swing erratically before declining. Many women benefit from starting HRT during this transition rather than waiting until menopause is “official.”
For women already in menopause, HRT can address ongoing symptoms while protecting against the longer-term consequences of estrogen deficiency — including bone density loss and changes to cardiovascular and metabolic health. The benefit-risk profile is most favorable when HRT is started within 10 years of menopause.
Our Fort Collins providers tailor each protocol to your stage of life, your specific symptoms, and your goals.
Weight gain during perimenopause and menopause isn't just about diet or exercise. Declining estrogen alters fat distribution toward the midsection, decreased progesterone disrupts sleep (which affects appetite hormones), and falling testosterone reduces lean muscle mass — slowing metabolism. Many women find that the same habits that worked at 35 stop working at 50.
Hormone replacement therapy can help by restoring the metabolic hormones that regulate body composition. For some patients, the combination of HRT plus our medical weight loss program produces results neither approach achieves alone. Your provider will help you sequence treatment based on your priorities.
Your first appointment includes a comprehensive hormone panel, a detailed review of your symptoms, and a personalized treatment recommendation. You'll leave with a clear understanding of where your hormones stand and what your treatment plan involves.
Once treatment begins, follow-up labs at 6–8 weeks let us assess your response and adjust dosing. Most women notice improvements in sleep, mood, and energy within 4–8 weeks; benefits to body composition, libido, and overall wellbeing typically continue developing over 3–6 months.
Book your Fort Collins consultation today to start with a full hormone panel and a real conversation about what you're experiencing.
Women's hormone replacement therapy can address hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, low energy, brain fog, sleep disruption, weight gain, low libido, vaginal dryness, and other symptoms related to perimenopause, menopause, or hormonal imbalance.
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical in structure to the hormones your body produces naturally — including estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. They differ from older synthetic hormone formulations used in studies decades ago. At Peak Medical Wellness, bioidentical HRT is administered through pellets or injections, with the method chosen based on your individual needs and your provider's recommendation.
Yes. Modern bioidentical HRT — particularly when started within 10 years of menopause — has a favorable safety profile in healthy women. We use lab testing, provider follow-up, and individualized dosing to ensure safe, effective treatment.
Yes. Many women experience weight gain during perimenopause and menopause due to declining estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. HRT can help by restoring metabolic hormones, supporting muscle maintenance, and reducing the visceral fat accumulation that often comes with hormone decline. For some patients, combining HRT with our medical weight loss program produces the best results.
Yes. Low libido in women is often related to declining estrogen, progesterone, and especially testosterone. HRT that includes appropriate testosterone supplementation can significantly improve libido, arousal, and sexual satisfaction. Our providers evaluate the full hormonal picture to determine the right approach.
Often yes, though it's frequently overlooked in standard women's HRT. Women produce testosterone at much lower levels than men, but it's critical for energy, libido, mood, muscle maintenance, and cognitive clarity. Many women benefit from low-dose testosterone as part of their hormone replacement therapy protocol.
Many women notice improvements in sleep, mood, and energy within 4 to 8 weeks of starting HRT, with more sustained hormone balance and physical changes developing over 3 to 6 months of personalized care.
