Hormone Balancing Programs

How It Works

At Women’s Lifestyle Solutions, we specialize in personalized, evidence-based care for women navigating hormonal shifts throughout life. Whether you’re dealing with PCOS, experiencing postpartum hormone changes, or transitioning through perimenopause, our tailored approach is designed to restore balance and help you feel like yourself again.

Your care begins with comprehensive hormone and metabolic blood work, ordered by one of our board-certified female physicians. This testing provides crucial insight into your overall hormonal health and includes markers such as:

  • Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone
  • FSH, LH, and AMH (for reproductive hormone status)
  • Thyroid function (TSH, Free T3, Free T4)
  • Cortisol and DHEA
  • Insulin, glucose, and lipid panels
  • Vitamin D and additional micronutrients as clinically indicated

In most cases, these labs are covered by your insurance, making high-quality diagnostic testing both accessible and affordable.

Next, you’ll meet in person or virtually with one of our experienced, board-certified female physicians for a 40-minute telehealth consultation. Together, you’ll review your lab results in detail and discuss your symptoms, lifestyle, medical history, and personal goals. This conversation forms the foundation of your personalized hormone balance plan, created to support your unique needs and stage of life.

Based on your lab results and personal goals, your physician will recommend a tailored hormone replacement and wellness plan. At Women’s Lifestyle Solutions, we offer both traditional and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) options, allowing us to match the best approach to your unique needs.

Traditional vs. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement

  • Traditional hormone replacement therapies are often made from synthetic or animal-derived hormones. They are FDA-approved, widely studied, and prescribed in standard dosages. While effective for many women, they may not precisely match the molecular structure of the hormones naturally produced by your body.
  • Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones your body makes. These are often derived from plant sources and may be compounded or commercially available. BHRT is preferred by many women seeking a more personalized or natural-feeling approach, especially for perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms.
Hormone Replacement Modalities

Hormone Replacement Modalities We Offer:

Oral Tablets – Often used for estrogen and/or progesterone, available in both traditional and bioidentical forms. Convenient for daily dosing.

Transdermal Patches – Deliver a steady release of hormones through the skin. Bioidentical options available. May carry lower cardiovascular and clotting risks compared to oral forms.

Sublingual Troches – Dissolvable tablets placed under the tongue for rapid absorption. Custom-compounded and bioidentical, often used when tailored dosing is needed.

Vaginal Creams & Suppositories – Targeted relief for symptoms such as vaginal dryness, discomfort, or urinary changes. Available in both traditional and bioidentical preparations.

Subdermal Pellets – Small, long-acting implants placed just under the skin that provide continuous hormone delivery for 3–6 months. Typically bioidentical and ideal for women seeking a low-maintenance, consistent option.

How Do Hormones Work in the Body?

Hormones act like keys that unlock specific cellular functions. They bind to receptors on or inside target cells, triggering a cascade of biological responses that can affect everything from how you store fat to how you respond to stress. Because of this, even small imbalances can cause significant changes in how you feel, function, and age.

🔹 Irregular or absent periods
🔹 Excess facial or body hair
🔹 Oily skin or acne
🔹 Weight gain, especially around the belly
🔹 Difficulty losing weight
🔹 Insulin resistance
🔹 Fertility challenges

Postpartum Hormone Changes

🔹 Mood swings & anxiety
🔹 Sleep disturbances
🔹 Hair loss or thinning
🔹 Low libido
🔹 Fatigue
🔹 Breast engorgement
🔹 Crying spells

Emotional and Mental Challenges

🔹 Hot flashes & night sweats
🔹 Irregular periods
🔹 Brain fog & memory lapses
🔹 Vaginal dryness
🔹 Mood swings or irritability
🔹 Decreased libido
🔹 Increased anxiety or depression

Thank you for all you have done for me in my weight loss journey! I was embarrassed to admit I needed help in my weight loss but you made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. You talked to me about my goals, listened attentively and together we developed an individualized plan that fit my needs and lifestyle. Our monthly check-ins were exactly what I needed and I am so pleased with the progress. Thank you for everything!

Dr. Allison started me on my journey through healthy eating habits and treatment which led me to like myself again. She continues to be very supportive in my endeavor. I highly recommend Dr. Allison Walsh for her one on one personal care. I really was at a very depressed state and can not thank her enough for giving me back my life. Very Thankful!
