Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) at Crafted Wellness
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a specialized treatment designed to restore hormonal balance in individuals experiencing symptoms due to hormone imbalances, often linked to aging, perimenopause, menopause, and other life changes. At Crafted Wellness, we prioritize a comprehensive, personalized approach to Hormone Replacement Therapy, providing clients with the most effective path toward wellness.
Understanding Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormones are vital to regulating many of our body’s functions, from metabolism and energy to mood and cognitive abilities. When hormonal levels fall out of balance, it can lead to a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, mood changes, hot flashes, and decreased libido. Hormone Replacement Therapy works to supplement or balance these hormone levels, allowing you to regain your vitality and feel your best.
Who Can Benefit from Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone Replacement Therapy can benefit a wide range of individuals experiencing hormone-related symptoms, especially as they age. Common candidates for HRT include those dealing with:
- Perimenopause and Menopause: For women, the natural decline in estrogen and progesterone during perimenopause and menopause can lead to symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. HRT can help manage these symptoms effectively.
- Andropause: Men experiencing a decrease in testosterone levels may find relief with Hormone Replacement Therapy, which can help improve energy, libido, and mood.
- Hormonal Imbalance: Individuals with hormone imbalances due to thyroid issues, adrenal fatigue, or other conditions can also benefit from a personalized HRT plan tailored to their needs.
Types of Hormone Replacement Therapy at Crafted Wellness
Crafted Wellness offers various types of Hormone Replacement Therapy tailored to each individual’s specific needs. Our team works with clients to identify the best form of therapy, including:
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

Crafted Wellness focuses on bioidentical hormones as a preferred choice due to their compatibility and effectiveness.Estrogen and Progesterone Therapy
Primarily for women, estrogen and progesterone therapy can help alleviate the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause. We carefully balance dosages to ensure symptom relief and reduce potential side effects.Testosterone Replacement Therapy

What are Hormones
Hormones are essential chemical messengers produced by the endocrine glands in the body. They play a crucial role in regulating a wide range of physiological processes, including growth and development, metabolism, mood, reproductive health, and overall well-being.
Hormones are released into the bloodstream and travel to various organs and tissues, where they help maintain balance and ensure that different systems in the body function harmoniously. Hormone Replacement Therapy with Crafted Wellness uses Bio-identical hormones, which are exact molecular replicas of the hormones our bodies produce naturally.
There are many phases to this hormonal shift in women:
The period of time between a woman’s first regular menstrual cycle and her final normal menstrual cycle is known as pre-menopause. For a woman, this is the time of “normal” reproductive function.
The following phase is called perimenopause. This is the “transitional” period that occurs two to ten years before the menstrual cycle completely ends. Typically, women between the ages of 35 and 50 encounter this. A woman may go through significant hormonal changes at this time, which might result in common symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, brain fog, insomnia, and weight gain.
There are many lesser-known symptoms of peri-menopause, such as taste changes and dry skin. The third stage, or menopause, denotes the end of a woman’s reproductive cycle naturally. The body’s natural capacity to manufacture progesterone and estrogen starts to significantly decline at this stage.
A woman can no longer conceive naturally because her ovaries cease releasing eggs. The time after menopause is known as the post-menopause. It is commonly accepted that the onset of this phase occurs 12 complete months following the previous menstrual cycle.
A woman experiences several physical and psychological changes as she moves through each of these four phases because her body becomes less able to maintain the right hormonal balance.
Pay attention to your body. Is it attempting to communicate with you? Your body is just remarkable. It will alert you when anything isn’t right! Unbalanced hormones are hardly an exception.
A woman may have a number of symptoms when her hormones are out of balance, such as:
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Fatigue
- Unexplained weight gain
- Mood swings
- Urinary tract infection
- Decreased sex drive
- Difficulty concentrating
- Insomnia
- Vaginal dryness
- Fibrocystic breasts
Another worry is the potential long-term consequences of hormone imbalance, which might include:
- Osteoporosis
- Increased risk of heart disease
- Depression
- Loss of bone mass
- Decreased muscle tone
- Accelerated aging process
- Improve mood
- More energy
- Better Sleep
- Weight loss
- Improved Sex Drive
- Improved Memory
- Decreased Vaginal Dryness
- Decrease risk of Osteoporosis
- Decreased Risk of Heart Disease

Hormonal imbalance, thankfully, IS treatable. The aforementioned symptoms may be lessened or perhaps completely gone by reestablishing the body’s equilibrium between progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone.
