Women’s Hormone Therapy (HRT): Simple Steps to Restore Balance

Hormonal changes can sneak up on even the most health-conscious women, turning once-manageable days into a cycle of fatigue, mood swings, restless nights, and a noticeable dip in vitality. If you’ve felt “off” but can’t quite pinpoint the reason—or if familiar routines suddenly leave you feeling drained—hormone imbalance could be at the root.

Once you’ve identified symptoms and gotten labs, what comes next? The right plan is personal—here’s what it may look like.

At True Test, we understand how life-changing these symptoms can be. Our mission is to guide you from confusion to clarity, offering step-by-step support, focused lab testing, and personalized care that meets your needs at every stage. Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, or the shifts that come with age, reclaiming your energy, focus, and joy is possible. Here’s your roadmap to getting there.

When lifestyle is enough

Small changes can help a lot, especially for milder symptoms:

• Healthy lifestyle basics: consistent sleep, protein-forward meals, fiber, and daily steps.
• Stress care: 5-minute breathing, quick walks, boundaries with screens.
• Fitness plan: simple strength work 2–3×/week, plus brisk walks on most days.

When medical care helps

If symptoms are strong, ongoing, or affect your life, a medical plan may help. This can include hormone therapy for women or medically supervised testosterone care for men (TRT). Plans are personalized and include monitoring.

Patient Voice

“I honestly can’t express how much True Test has changed my life. I used to feel so sluggish, foggy, and like I was just surviving each day. After starting HRT with them, I feel like me again—like the energized, focused woman I used to be before all the hormone chaos. The staff listens, cares, and explains everything so clearly. If you're struggling and think it might be hormone-related, don’t wait. Just book the consult.” — Stephanie S. Individual experiences vary. No results are guaranteed.

Treatment Paths for Women

Your plan may include one or more of the following. Your provider will walk you through options.

What it is: Carefully dosed estrogen and/or progesterone to ease menopause and perimenopause symptoms like hot flashes, poor sleep, and low libido.
