women's hormone optimization therapy (HOT)

Over time, many women experience a gradual decline in key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone—especially during perimenopause, menopause, or even earlier due to stress, environmental hormone disruptors, microplastics, poor sleep, and certain medications. These hormonal shifts often go overlooked or dismissed as “just part of getting older.”

But symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, stubborn weight gain, anxiety, low libido, poor sleep, and a general sense of not feeling like yourself aren't just normal aging—they’re often signs of hormonal imbalance.

Perimenopause, a transitional phase where hormones fluctuate unpredictably, can begin as early as 30 for some women. It can cause significant physical and emotional changes long before your period stops—and many women are left without answers or support.

Hormone Optimization Therapy (HOT) offers a proactive, personalized solution. It's not just for menopause—it's for women who want to feel strong, focused, balanced, and energized again. Whether you're managing a career, raising a family, or simply want to reclaim your sense of self, HOT can help you do more than cope—it can help you thrive.

From bioidentical hormone therapy to supportive supplements and lifestyle strategies, our approach to Hormone Optimization Therapy (HOT) is never one-size-fits-all.

Through a comprehensive blood panel and symptom review, we identify exactly where your levels stand and create a treatment plan tailored to your unique biology, goals, and stage of life.

DHEA and pregnenolone are two essential adrenal hormones that play a vital role in female health—supporting memory, mood, energy, and the body’s resilience to stress. While both naturally decline with age, chronic stress can accelerate deficiency, leaving women feeling fatigued, mentally foggy, and more susceptible to the effects of cortisol. Maintaining the right balance of these hormones is crucial, and proper dosing under medical supervision is key to avoiding unwanted side effects or imbalances.

Though DHEA and pregnenolone are available over the counter, this often leads to inconsistent quality and misguided self-dosing. As with any hormone therapy, precision matters. At Beyond Better Biology, we believe these hormones should be treated with the same care as estrogen or testosterone—prescription-based, lab-monitored, and tailored to the individual.

Low DHEA levels have been linked to the onset of various chronic illnesses and even shortened lifespan, while healthy levels correlate with stronger immune function and greater longevity. Yet guessing your dose or relying on unregulated products can do more harm than good. That’s why we begin with comprehensive lab testing to determine your baseline levels.

If treatment is indicated, our providers prescribe pharmaceutical-grade DHEA and/or pregnenolone with a dosing plan customized to your needs. We follow up with regular lab work to ensure your levels remain in the optimal range. No guesswork—just targeted support for healthy aging and hormonal balance.
