If you have been feeling out of sorts, your symptoms may be related to perimenopause or menopause. Many women experience perimenopausal symptoms as early as their mid-thirties! That’s why Tula Wellness offers integrative women’s health treatments that aid in restoring hormonal imbalances that have been off-set by a variety of factors, from poor diet to chronic stress, environmental toxins, and beyond. Our goal is to get you feeling great and back in balance so you can experience your life to its full potential.
There are several symptoms that may indicate you are experiencing the early on-set symptoms of perimenopause, including:
Dr. Arianna Sholes-Douglas, women’s health visionary and leader in integrative women’s health, offers bioidentical hormone therapy treatments that begin by assessing your individual history and evaluating your hormone levels to devise a plan to support your body’s ability to self-regulate. Through her integrative approach, she will implement the use of supplements, lifestyle adjustments, and nutrition as a foundation to support and restore balance.
Bioidentical hormones are substances that are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. They are derived from natural sources such as plants and are designed to mimic the molecular structure of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Bioidentical hormones are typically used as a treatment option for hormonal imbalances or deficiencies, particularly in menopause or andropause (the male equivalent of menopause).
Common forms of bioidentical hormones include creams, gels, patches, injections, and pellets that are implanted under the skin. They can be used to alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances, such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, low libido, fatigue, and vaginal dryness.
Hormone pellets, also known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) pellets or hormone implants, are small cylindrical pellets that contain bioidentical hormones. These pellets are typically composed of a combination of estrogen and/or testosterone hormones. The hormones are compressed into a solid form and then inserted under the skin, usually in the hip or buttock area, through a minor surgical procedure.
Hormone pellets are primarily used in hormone replacement therapy to address hormonal imbalances or deficiencies. They can be used in both men and women to alleviate symptoms related to menopause, andropause, or other hormonal conditions. The specific dosage and hormone combination in the pellets are customized based on an individual’s hormone levels and symptoms, as determined through blood tests and medical evaluation.
Thyroid disorders can affect women of all ages, and when they do, they can significantly impact your overall wellbeing and health. The thyroid gland is responsible for producing hormones that regulate your metabolism, and in cases of hypothyroidism, women experience weight-loss, decreased energy levels, inability to eat due to loss of appetite, and changes to other bodily functions that offset their well-being. Dr. Arianna offers her expertise to work with these patients to find the underlying cause of their discomforts, devising an alternative therapy plan to manage their symptoms to restore their body to balance.
