Every program is guided by lab results and designed by an experienced practitioner who understands that no two women are alike.
Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced by your body. Derived from plant sources, these hormones are compounded to match your individual needs and hormone levels.
Unlike synthetic hormones, BHRT is designed to work in harmony with your body’s natural systems. It offers many benefits for women experiencing hormonal imbalances. At Arcara Access, every plan is customized to match your levels and goals. Some of the benefits include:
- Symptom Relief: It effectively reduces fatigue, mood swings, and sleep disturbances.
- Stronger Bones: Estrogen helps maintain bone density, lowering the risk of fractures.
- Heart Health: Balanced hormones support healthy cholesterol and blood pressure.
- Brain Health: BHRT may protect against memory loss and improve mental clarity.
- Skin and Hair: Balanced hormones promote better skin elasticity and hair growth.
- Muscle Strength: BHRT helps maintain lean muscle mass and prevent muscle decline.

How Does the Therapy Work?
At Arcara Access, BHRT is prescribed and monitored based on your lab results and symptoms. After an initial consultation and testing, we design a personalized plan using compounded hormones tailored to your needs.
We partner with regulated and reputable compounding pharmacies as needed to ensure safe, custom prescriptions. Labs are typically repeated every 6 to 9 months, and we adjust treatment based on how you’re feeling.
Your plan may include:
- Tailored hormone therapy using estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone
- Stress-reduction tools and practical mind-body wellness techniques
- Nutritional guidance and high-quality medical-grade supplements
- Ongoing lab testing and provider check-ins to track progress
- Support for gut health, digestion, and restful sleep
Hormone Imbalance Symptoms
Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause can trigger a wide range of symptoms, many of which are often dismissed as “normal aging.” At Arcara Access, we don’t just manage symptoms; we aim to resolve them with targeted, expert-led care.
Common signs of hormonal imbalance include:
- Low energy and fatigue
- Thinning hair or hair loss
- Trouble sleeping (insomnia)
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Digestion issues like bloating
- Joint pain or muscle weakness
- Low sex drive or sexual problems
- Difficulty concentrating (brain fog)
- Weight gain or trouble losing weight
- Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
Left untreated, these imbalances can raise the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, and cognitive decline. BHRT works to stabilize hormones and support long-term health safely and sustainably.
What to Know Before Starting Therapy
Many clients come to us after feeling dismissed or told that their symptoms are just part of getting older. At Arcara Access, we do things differently. Every treatment is grounded in evidence. Your care is guided by lab results, how you’re feeling, clinical expertise, and the ultimate goal of reclaiming your quality of life.
How Long to See Results From Therapy
Many women begin to notice improvements in energy, mood, and sleep within 4 to 6 weeks. Full results often build gradually over 3 to 6 months, guided by ongoing provider support and symptom-based adjustments.

Side Effects of Treatments
Most side effects are mild, and they’re rarely experienced when treatment is monitored by a trained provider. Potential side effects may include:
- Headaches
- Mood changes
- Breast tenderness
- Bloating or fluid retention
- Spotting or breakthrough bleeding
- Skin irritation (for topical hormones)
Your treatment is always tailored to minimize side effects and support your comfort.

Misconceptions About HRT
There are many myths about hormone therapy. This can mostly be pinned on outdated research. One well-known study, the Women’s Health Initiative, raised concerns about HRT. However, later reviews showed problems with the study, including the age of the participants and their lifestyle factors. New research supports the benefits of starting HRT during perimenopause or early menopause. At Arcara Access, we use safe and customized treatments to ensure the best results for you.

What Our Clients Say
“Working with Arcara Access has been such a great experience. Their personalized, holistic approach to perimenopause/menopause really made a difference for me. I finally feel like I have my energy and balance back, and it’s all thanks to the support and care they provide.
They really take the time to listen and understand what you’re going through. It’s not one-size-fits-all—it actually feels tailored to me. I feel better, sleep better, and just feel more like myself again.
Highly recommend!
Amanda Barry
“Arcara Access has been wonderful in tailoring a custom holistic approach in my wellness journey covering all bases with nutrition, supplements and hormone balance. In contrast to the big telehealth woman’s wellness companies, Kim takes the time to listen to the patient, their symptoms and doesn’t go by a ‘one size fits all’ approach. I noticed improvements in my symptoms and energy levels immediately and my Oura ring reported better sleep and lower body temp fluctuations in the first two nights following the start of my new program. I saw real measurable results! Highly recommend this provider and practice.
