Menopause is a natural transition that all women experience as they reach midlife, marking the end of a woman's reproductive years. The average age for menopause is 51, but it can occur anywhere from 40-55 years old.
As a woman approaches menopause, her ovaries gradually produce fewer hormones like estrogen and progesterone. This decline in hormones causes changes throughout the body - from hot flashes and sleep troubles to joint pain, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Many women struggle through menopause without realizing treatment is available. With hormone therapy from a menopause specialist, women can find relief from symptoms and restore their quality of life.
Seeing a menopause specialist at a dedicated hormone clinic like Hormone Harmony Clinic provides compassionate care and safe, effective solutions. Our practitioners focus solely on perimenopause and menopause, with advanced training in the latest therapies. We take time to listen and find the right options for each woman's needs.
At Hormone Harmony Clinic in Riverview, we offer cutting-edge hormone balancing therapies to help women thrive through menopause. Treatment is tailored to each patient with bioidentical hormones - which are identical to the estrogens, progesterone and testosterone made naturally in a woman's body. Many symptom relief options are available, from gels, creams and patches, to pellets, rings, tablets and injections.
With individualized treatment from our menopause specialists, women can expect excellent benefits:
In addition to symptom relief, balancing hormone levels with bioidentical hormone therapy has been shown to reduce risk of heart disease, neurological decline, weight gain, and urinary incontinence during menopause. With treatment, women can truly thrive in midlife and beyond.
The practitioners at Hormone Harmony Clinic specialize in perimenopause and menopause care exclusively. We are passionate about helping women achieve hormone balance, optimal health and an overall sense of well-being.

We also have a full care team including nurses, medical assistants and patient coordinators to ensure quality care and attention to detail. Our practitioners stay up-to-date on the latest research and best practices in menopause treatment. We individualize care that is just right for you.
Though often overlooked, cognitive behavioral therapy has shown promise as an effective menopause treatment. Studies indicate CBT can help reduce troublesome menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, and mood swings by teaching women coping strategies to better manage stress and negative thought patterns during this transition. CBT provides a drug-free way to alleviate common menopausal complaints.
Your first visit at Hormone Harmony Clinic begins with an in-depth consultation with a menopause specialist. We take time to:
We also provide continued follow-up care to ensure your treatment is working optimally over time. Adjustments can be made to your regimen based on follow-up symptom reviews and lab results.
Many women wonder when is the right time to see a menopause specialist. We recommend women have a consultation at the first signs of perimenopause - the transitional stage before full menopause.
Early evaluation allows detection of hormone changes before severe symptoms occur. We can give guidance on lifestyle changes and supplements that may delay symptoms. When bothersome symptoms do arise, hormone therapy can begin promptly.
Starting treatment early allows optimal relief as hormone levels continue to decline. We find it much harder to stabilize women with prolonged hormone deficiency. Don't let symptoms progress - seek our expertise right away.
We recognize every woman's experience with menopause is unique. That is why we personalize care based on your symptoms, health status, risk factors, preferences and goals.
After a thorough evaluation, we educate you on appropriate treatment options. For example:
The route of hormone administration is also personalized - oral tablets, transdermal gels/patches/sprays, vaginal inserts, pellets, rings, injections and more. We find the optimal regimen for each woman.
In addition to hormone therapy, we provide guidance on healthy lifestyle measures to support your well-being during menopause:
Adopting healthy habits can enhance your menopause treatment results. We offer comprehensive support for mind, body and hormone balance.
