(Peri)Menopause Care

Our hormone therapy options are bio-identical and come as creams, troches, capsules, and injectables.

We have three subscription options to accommodate most people. Cancel any time after the initial 3-month commitment.

Our HRT program is considered ongoing care that includes your prescriptions, follow-up visits with licensed clinicians, quarterly hormone labs, and 1:1 service with your customer care coach.

Continuous Care Program
Hormone therapy is not a transaction but an ongoing process. Under our care, you will be supported with unlimited clinician visits (usually 4-5 annually) and direct 1:1 care with a coach (visits/emailing/texting). We have heavily negotiated our lab rates so we can pass savings on to you. Prescription care includes dosing and application method changes, when needed.

*Because testosterone is not FDA-approved for females the correct dosing is not available at most retail pharmacies. Testosterone for females is prescribed off-label and filled at compounding pharmacies.

How it Works
Choose Your Lab

Choose the lab that is best for you, then complete the online health history and consent forms. We will help get you scheduled with an at-home lab draw or at a local draw station, like Lab Corp or Quest.

Go Over Your Results

Once your results are in, we will email you a link to schedule your consultation to go over your results. This is a great time to ask questions and talk about goals. Your coach will be your direct contact for all follow-up questions.

Start Your Therapy

Prescriptions are shipped to your door if you choose the 'all-inclusive' or 'one hormone' subscriptions. With the 'a la carte' subscription you can pick up your prescriptions at your local pharmacy using your insurance or a GoodRx coupon.

Track Your Progress

During your initial consultation, your coach will schedule your next lab draw and follow-up appointment. HRT needs to be monitored and dosing or application methods may need to be adjusted based on your body's unique reactions.

What are Bioidentical Hormones?

Bioidentical hormones are manmade hormones derived from plant estrogens that are chemically identical to those the human body produces. Estrogen, progesterone & testosterone are among those most commonly replicated and used in treatment. Bioidentical hormones come in various forms. We prescribe:

  • Pills
  • Patches
  • Creams
  • Injections
What can I expect?

HRT not only reduces or eliminates life altering symptoms but it has been proven to:

  • Reduce the risk of heart disease by 30-50%
  • Cut your risk for osteoporotic hip fracture by 50%
What is Perimenopause?

Perimenopause and the early years of menopause are a critical window for health, and that’s true even if you don’t have symptoms. It is a sensitive period or inflection point, during which time small health problems could, if not addressed, amplify into larger and more permanent health problems later in life. Symptoms can include:

  • Change in cycle length
  • Headaches
  • Anxiety
  • Mood swings
  • Depression
  • Low Libido
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Hot flashes
  • Night sweats
  • Vaginal dryness
  • PMS
  • Achy joints
  • Irritability
  • Brain fog
  • Weight Changes
  • Skin/hair changes
The signs and symptoms of menopause can vary greatly from person to person.
Mild Symptoms in 33% of women
Bothersome Symptoms in 33% of women
Ongoing Symptoms in 33% of women
About Menopause

Some women have no symptoms during menopause. Their period stops and that’s it. But they are in the minority. 80% of women experience some symptoms and for half of them these symptoms last for years. The medium duration of hot flashes and vasomotor symptoms among these women was 7.4 years You should start BHRT during perimenopause. The closer you start to menopause the better the long term outcomes for preventing bone loss and osteoporosis.

FAQs
What is estrogen and what does it do?

Throughout our lives, our bodies depend on estrogen to keep us healthy and going strong. Not only is it essential for our reproductive activities, it also affects our urinary tract, heart and blood vessels, bones, breasts, skin, hair, pelvis muscles and our brain.

What is testosterone and what's it's role?

Women produce 3x as much testosterone as estrogen (before menopause). Testosterone in women helps keep bones healthy, promotes cognitive health and maintains sex drive. It is helpful for overall energy levels and to keep bodily functions running smoothly.

What is progesterone and it's role?

We produce progesterone when we ovulate. The first hormone to go down when we start ovulating less or sporadically is progesterone.  Progesterone converts to a neurosteroid called allopregnanolone which calms GABA receptors. Progesterone is our calming hormone that helps with mood, anxiety and sleep.

What is DHEA?

DHEA is a hormone that is produced in our adrenal gland. It helps produce other hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. Natural DHEA levels peak in early adulthood and then slowly fall as you age.

How long does it take for treatment to work?

Every woman is different but estrogen and progesterone benefits can be felt in as little as 1-7 days.  Testosterone usually takes longer at about 4 weeks.  To experience the full benefits of HRT, it is best to be patient and know that dosing adjustments may need to be made to find the correct levels for your individual needs.

Is HRT safe?

While there are possible side effects with any medication or therapy, the short answer is yes.  The 2002 WHI study that claimed HRT caused an increased risk of breast cancer and blood clots has been proven wrong. There are numerous studies proving that HRT is not only safe and effective for treating menopausal symptoms but it is preventative and protective over our heart, brain and bones. Read the official NAMS position statement on menopause here.

What does it cost?

Our A La Carte option is $89 a month and includes medical oversight, provider visits and prescription care. We will send your prescriptions to your pharmacy of choice. Hormone labs are $99 and come with a functional health report. Our All Inclusive option is $189 a month and includes all care with treatments shipped to your door.

I have labs from another clinician, can I use them?

If you have not been on hormonal support, the labs can be from the last 3-6 months. If on hormonal support, labs need to be within the last 90 days.  Email labs to info@choosejoi.co

Can you help my husband too?

We can!  Meet Blokes, the male version of Joi.

Do you take insurance?

We do not accept insurance at this time. We do accept credit cards and HSA/FSA accounts.
