When a small course correction makes a major difference.
Feel wiser – not older. Your body may be changing, but let’s put you ahead of the curve.
Pinnacle Bioidentical Hormones
Every one of us ages a little differently, but there’s one constant: change. Our hormones are already a complex and ever-evolving aspect of our bodies—then, as we navigate perimenopause, menopause, and everything beyond, a whole host of issues can emerge. You might experience hot flashes, brain fog, low libido, weight changes, painful sex, thinning hair, vaginal dryness, and other problems that are truly unpleasant to live with. But you do have a place where you’ll be heard and where your experience will be thoughtfully addressed—here.
We offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) as a dynamic, highly personalized tool that can offer significant relief—and can even help you live longer. This therapy is not a simple process, and it demands the utmost care in management, both for the hormones you’re given and the risks that accompany aging and changing hormones. Complicating matters, it’s hard to get your treatment right the first time around—over 40% of women need some sort of adjustment as they go. But, if you’re willing to stick with it and experiment with a little trial and error, we can make a profound difference in your well-being and quality of life.
Together, we’ll address your symptoms— and also go deeper to gain an understanding of the underlying situation and treat it at its core. We want to help you feel better now and be your healthiest in the future, too.
We’ll help you feel comfortable as we candidly discuss what you’re experiencing. We’ll help you determine what factors are contributing. And we’ll craft a care plan that we fine-tune as we go so you can feel better than you imagined possible.
Our approach
As with most things here at Pinnacle, we’ll start with an initial consultation visit and will order any labs needed to give us an incredibly thorough picture of the factors at play. (Have you ever had a blood panel and received a 30-second call from the doctor’s office with your results? That doesn’t happen here. We’ll provide a custom, multi-page written report explaining everything we found—and then you’ll have an in-depth one-on-one discussion with your doctor to break it all down.)
We’ll unpack your most bothersome symptoms, set goals for reducing them, and, incorporating insights from your test results, we’ll craft your treatment plan. It might include:

What to know about your hormones in different phases of life:
Our hormones, including our estrogen and testosterone, impact our entire bodies in a mind-boggling number of ways. What happens when these major dials on our body’s control panel start vacillating wildly during perimenopause? To put it bluntly, everything feels like it’s going haywire.
During perimenopause, which can begin anywhere between your late thirties and early fifties, your ovaries start to run out of eggs and your follicles diminish in both number and quality. As a result, your estrogen levels erratically soar and plummet, until finally they drop off altogether. Meanwhile, your testosterone levels go down too (yes, women have testosterone in their systems), which can accompany an increase in body fat and decrease in muscle.
Not only is this a wild ride, but it can also come with health risks, which range from heart attacks to bone fractures that stem from a dangerous combination of more brittle bones and less muscle to hold yourself steady.
We say all this not to scare you, but to inspire you to take proactive action. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is one powerful way to do so. “Bioidentical” hormones are derived from plants but very similar chemically to the ones our bodies produce. They can be administered as pills, patches, creams, and gels. And, in the right combinations, timing, and doses, these hormones can radically improve how you feel while your own hormones are on a roller coaster.
Together, we can not only treat how you’re feeling right now, but can also anticipate risks and address them at their root. For instance, rather than worrying about broken bones, we’ll give you a supplement to support strong bones as well as the hormones to keep your muscles stronger. Together, we can keep you sailing through this period of life—and enjoying it, not just tolerating it.
Welcome to feeling better.
We use a direct-care model that avoids the hassle and restriction of insurance, which means we can see patients as often as they need, take more time with them, and offer more thorough care. While we leave insurance out of the patient-doctor relationship, insurance still may cover your medications, or we may be able to connect you with coupons that keep the cost of medication to a minimum.
Book your consultation
It all starts with a phone consultation so we can get to know one another and make a plan.
