If you’re feeling off—emotionally, mentally, or physically—you’re not alone. Hormonal shifts during perimenopause, menopause, or even after childbirth can leave you feeling disconnected from your own body.
At Flow Wellness, we specialize in helping women feel grounded, balanced, and vibrant again with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy tailored to your body and goals.
Is BHRT Right for You?
If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, BHRT may help:
- Are you experiencing hot flashes or night sweats?
- Has your sex drive changed?
- Are you struggling to sleep through the night?
- Are you more forgetful or foggy than usual?
- Do you feel more anxious, irritable, or low?
- Do your joints ache or feel stiff?
- Is your hair thinning or skin losing elasticity?
How Flow Wellness + BHRT Can Help You Thrive
We Start With You
At Flow Wellness, we lead with listening. Your symptoms, your story, and your lived experience are the foundation of your treatment plan. We focus on understanding your health concerns and support you to live fully, age gracefully, feel more energized, clear, and more present in your life.
Comprehensive Lab Testing
We don’t settle for basic hormone panels– we test, don’t guess. Expanded lab testing will help to identify imbalances and give a more complete picture of your hormone health. Labs help us confirm what you’re feeling and guide us toward the most effective, personalized approach—one that supports your body and your goals, not just the numbers.
A New Way to Read Labs
Most traditional labs are about catching disease. Ours are about supporting wellness. We look at your results through the lens of what it takes to feel vibrant—not just avoid illness. That might mean having the energy to hike with friends, play with your grandkids, or spend the day exploring a new city without crashing by 3 p.m. We want you feeling strong, stable, and thriving.
Truly Personalized BHRT Plans
Hormone therapy is never one-size-fits-all. Your symptoms, lifestyle, and lab results all guide your unique dosing plan. We carefully adjust based on how you’re feeling—not just a lab range—so that your treatment evolves with you over time.
Bioidentical, Body-Friendly Hormones
We use bioidentical hormones that match your body’s natural hormone structure. They are molecularly identical to what your body already knows, easier to absorb, and work in harmony with your natural systems. The goal is gentle, effective support—not overpowering your body, but working with it.
Our team is here to help you feel like yourself again—with expert care, real solutions, and a plan built just for you.
Understanding Your Hormones:
We often work with three key hormones in women:
- Estrogen – Helps with temperature regulation, mood, bone density and more.
- Progesterone – Supports sleep, reduces anxiety and balances estrogen.
- Testosterone – Often overlooked in women, but crucial for libido, energy, stamina and mental clarity.
Your BHRT, Your Way:
- Pellet therapy – Long-acting and low-maintenance
- Sublingual (SL) troches – Sublingual direct absorption under the tongue
- Transdermal patches– Applied to the skin (estradiol only)
- Topical creams or gels – Ideal for gradual, topical delivery
- Oral capsules – Easy to take ( progesterone or DHEA only)
We’ll work closely with you to find the right combination and route to help you feel your best—without pushing one-size-fits-all solutions.
What Is a Pellet—and How Does It Work?
Pellet therapy is a convenient and consistent way to restore hormonal balance using bioidentical hormones. At Flow Wellness, we use tiny, rice-sized pellets inserted just under the skin—usually in the upper hip or glute area. These pellets slowly release steady doses of estrogen, testosterone, or both over the course of 3–4 months.
Unlike pills or creams that spike and crash, pellets offer stable, reliable hormone support without the daily hassle. This method helps many women experience smoother mood, better sleep, improved libido, clearer thinking, and fewer hot flashes—with fewer hormonal ups and downs.
Pellet therapy is a favorite among women who want natural-feeling results and low-maintenance care. We personalize the dosing based on your labs, symptoms, and how you want to feel—then we monitor and adjust as needed to keep you feeling your best.
