What are common signs of hormone imbalance in women?

Common signs of hormone imbalance in women include hot flashes, night sweats, irregular periods, fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, anxiety, depression, brain fog, sleep disturbances, low libido and vaginal dryness.

Is BHRT safe for menopause and perimenopause symptoms?

When prescribed based on lab testing and monitored by experienced medical providers, BHRT is considered a safe and effective option for many women experiencing perimenopause, menopause or post-menopause symptoms.

How long does it take to feel results from BHRT?

Some women notice improvements in sleep, mood and hot flashes within a few weeks of starting BHRT. More complete improvements typically develop over several weeks to a few months as hormone levels stabilize and treatment is adjusted.

Is BHRT only for women in menopause?

No. BHRT may also be helpful for women in perimenopause or those with hormone imbalance at other stages of life. Your provider will review your symptoms, history and lab results to determine whether BHRT is appropriate for you.

Does insurance cover bioidentical hormone therapy?

Insurance coverage for bioidentical hormone therapy varies by plan. Some services, such as office visits and lab testing, may be covered, while coverage for medications can differ. The team at Raintree can help you review your benefits and options.

Can BHRT help with weight gain and metabolism issues?

Balancing hormones with BHRT may support healthier metabolism, better sleep, improved energy and reduced midsection weight gain. BHRT is often most effective when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) for Women in Lee’s Summit, MO

Personalized hormone balance for menopause, perimenopause, and women’s health.

Hormonal changes are a natural part of a woman’s life — but the symptoms they bring can disrupt your sleep, mood, metabolism, energy, and overall well-being. At Raintree Medical & Chiropractic Center, we offer Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to help women regain balance, reduce symptoms, and feel like themselves again.

Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones match the exact molecular structure of your body’s natural hormones. This allows for more precise, personalized treatment during perimenopause, menopause, post-menopause, and other hormonal shifts.

Whether you’re struggling with fatigue, hot flashes, mood changes, irregular cycles, weight fluctuations, or sleep issues, BHRT can help restore harmony to your hormones and your life.

What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?

BHRT uses plant-derived hormones that are chemically identical to a woman’s natural hormones, including:

Estrogen
Progesterone
Testosterone (in female-appropriate doses)

Because they match your body’s natural hormones, BHRT may offer a more gentle and effective approach for women experiencing menopausal symptoms, irregular cycles, or hormone-related changes.

Our medical providers customize every BHRT plan based on detailed lab testing and a deep understanding of women’s hormonal patterns.

Understanding the Stages of Menopause

Hormonal changes occur in phases, and each stage brings its own symptoms and challenges. Understanding where you are in the process helps guide the right BHRT plan.

Perimenopause (The Transition Phase)

Often beginning in a woman’s 30s or 40s, perimenopause can last 4–10 years. Hormone levels fluctuate unpredictably, causing symptoms such as:

Irregular or heavier cycles
Mood swings
Hot flashes
Sleep loss
Weight gain
Increased anxiety
Brain fog

BHRT is especially effective during this stage because it smooths out the highs and lows caused by hormone instability.

Menopause (12 Months Without a Period)

Menopause officially begins after 12 consecutive months with no menstrual cycle. Hormone levels drop significantly, often leading to:

Hot flashes
Night sweats
Vaginal dryness
Slower metabolism
Low libido
Energy changes
Emotional instability

BHRT can reduce these symptoms and help women maintain comfort, confidence, and balance.

Post-Menopause (After Menopause)

Hormone levels remain low, and symptoms may persist for years without support. Many women continue experiencing:

Poor sleep
Mood or memory issues
Bone density loss
Persistent hot flashes
Weight changes
Vaginal dryness

BHRT can help support long-term health, from immunity and energy to bone and cardiovascular wellness.

Signs and Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance in Women

Every woman experiences hormone imbalance differently. Common symptoms include:

Physical Symptoms

Hot flashes or night sweats
Fatigue or low energy
Irregular or heavy periods
