Safe, Effective Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women at Crabtree Health – Serving North Carolina

Hormonal Imbalance Is More Common Than You Think

Approximately 80% of women experience hormonal imbalances—yet many go undiagnosed. Hormones act as the body’s internal messengers, regulating everything from metabolism and mood to sleep cycles, reproductive health, and body temperature.

When these messengers fall out of sync—due to aging, menopause, lifestyle, medical conditions, or environmental exposures—the effects can be subtle, varied, and easy to overlook.

At Crabtree Health, we specialize in safe, effective Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) designed specifically for women. Our approach helps restore balance, relieve symptoms, and support your long-term wellness with personalized care.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Hormone Replacement Therapy Covered by Insurance? It depends. In some cases, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is considered elective and may not be covered by insurance.

What Are the Different Types of Hormone Therapy? Hormone therapy is not one-size-fits-all. The right type of therapy depends on your unique symptoms, lab results, and health history. At Crabtree Health, we personalize treatment plans using the most effective and safe options available. Estrogen Therapy Primarily used to relieve menopause symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Estrogen can be delivered via pills, patches, gels, or creams. Progestin Therapy Often paired with estrogen, progestin (a synthetic form of progesterone) helps protect the uterus and maintain hormonal balance in women. Testosterone Therapy While commonly used in men with low testosterone (hypogonadism), it may also be appropriate for select women under careful supervision. Available as gels, patches, or injections. Thyroid Hormone Replacement For those with hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone replacement helps restore energy, metabolism, and mental clarity. Usually taken as a daily pill.

Can Hormone Therapy Help with Weight Loss? Yes—hormone therapy can support and enhance weight loss efforts in both men and women. By improving lean muscle mass and metabolism, HRT helps the body burn calories more efficiently and respond better to nutrition and lifestyle changes. Men may lose 20–25% more weight when combining hormone therapy with a structured nutrition program. Women often see up to a 10% greater weight loss compared to using nutrition programs alone. While HRT is not a weight loss treatment on its own, it can be a powerful adjunct to a comprehensive wellness plan.

How Does Hormone Replacement Therapy Help with Menopause? Menopause can bring a range of difficult symptoms, including insomnia, fatigue, mood swings, anxiety, depression, sudden weight gain, and low libido. Beyond discomfort, hormonal imbalances during this time can increase the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and even certain cancers. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) helps by restoring hormonal balance, which can: Relieve symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood changes Improve energy, libido, and mental clarity Support long-term health by reducing risks associated with aging and hormone decline At Crabtree Health, we provide safe, personalized HRT to help you feel like yourself again—stronger, healthier, and more in control.
