What’s Included in Our HRT Program

Our hormone replacement therapy program includes medically supervised services designed to support women experiencing menopause and hormonal imbalance, delivered through secure telehealth care.

Comprehensive Medical Consultation: Each patient begins with a detailed consultation that includes a review of medical history, current symptoms, and individual health concerns. This evaluation helps determine whether hormone replacement therapy is clinically appropriate.
Personalized Treatment & Ongoing Medical Oversight: When indicated, treatment plans are individualized and may include estrogen and progesterone therapy based on clinical findings and laboratory results. Ongoing follow-up appointments allow your provider to monitor progress, review symptoms, and make medically appropriate adjustments over time.

Patients receive clear instructions, educational resources, and ongoing support to help ensure therapy is followed safely and correctly, whether medications are delivered to the home or dispensed by a local pharmacy.

About Hormone Replacement Therapy

At The Sanctuary Wellness Institute, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) programs are customized based on each patient’s unique health profile and clinical needs. All treatment decisions are guided by a comprehensive medical evaluation, appropriate laboratory testing, and ongoing provider oversight. Our approach is designed to support hormone balance while prioritizing patient safety and minimizing potential risks.

How Hormone Replacement Therapy Works

Hormone replacement therapy supports the body by supplementing hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, which may decline during menopause or due to other medical factors. When clinically appropriate, HRT may help manage symptoms commonly associated with hormonal changes, including hot flashes, mood changes, and fatigue. All treatment plans are reviewed and monitored by licensed medical providers in accordance with established standards of care.

HRT Medication Delivery Methods

There are several clinically accepted methods for administering hormone replacement therapy. Based on your medical evaluation and laboratory results, your provider will discuss available options and recommend an approach that aligns with your health needs and treatment goals. Medication type and delivery method are determined on an individual basis and may be adjusted over time as part of ongoing medical supervision. Learn more about HRT delivery methods.

Possible Side Effects of Hormone Replacement Therapy

While many women tolerate hormone replacement therapy (HRT) well, it’s important to understand potential side effects and risks so you can make informed decisions about your care. Side effects vary based on individual health factors, hormone type, dosage, and method of delivery.

Common and generally mild side effects may include:

Breast tenderness or swelling
Bloating or mild fluid retention
Headaches
Mood changes

Nausea or digestive discomfort
Breakthrough bleeding or spotting, particularly during early treatment

Less common but important potential risks include:

Blood clots (venous thromboembolism), particularly with certain forms of oral estrogen
Increased risk of stroke in specific populations

Breast tissue changes that may affect breast cancer risk
Gallbladder-related issues, such as gallstones

Before initiating treatment, our HRT doctor will carefully review your medical history, current health status, and individual risk factors to determine whether hormone replacement therapy is clinically appropriate. Treatment plans are personalized, and regular follow-up visits allow for monitoring and dose adjustments as needed.

If you experience persistent or concerning symptoms during therapy, Contact your HRT doctor so they can evaluate your response and modify your treatment plan to help support safety and comfort.

How We Promote Safety and Minimize Side Effects

At The Sanctuary Wellness Institute, patient safety is a central focus of every hormone replacement therapy plan. Our clinicians follow evidence-based medical guidelines and individualize treatment based on each patient’s health history, laboratory results, and clinical needs.

Our safety-focused approach includes:

Comprehensive hormone testing to establish baseline levels and identify potential imbalances
Detailed review of personal and family medical history to evaluate relevant risk factors
Assessment of cardiovascular health, cancer-related considerations, and other clinically relevant markers prior to initiating therapy
Individualized dosing strategies designed to support symptom management while minimizing potential side effects
Ongoing follow-up appointments to monitor response to treatment and make medically appropriate adjustments
Access to multiple clinically accepted HRT delivery methods, including patches, gels, and oral options, to help determine the most suitable approach for each patient

If side effects occur or symptoms do not improve as expected, our medical team can adjust your dosage, modify the formulation, or recommend alternative therapies to ensure your comfort, safety, and long-term well-being.
