Renew Weight Loss Med Spa in Springfield, MA is excited to introduce a concise, science‑informed bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) program designed to support women through perimenopause and menopause with compassionate, nurse practitioner–led care. Most treatments will use compounded bioidentical hormones sourced from well‑vetted, high‑quality pharmacies, in addition to FDA‑approved options when appropriate. These therapies will be combined with natural strategies and vitamin optimization so clients are not only receiving hormones, but also supporting their bodies’ own hormone production as much as possible.
Menopause Symptoms and Who BHRT Can Help
Falling estrogen levels during perimenopause and menopause commonly cause: hot flashes, night sweats, sleep problems, vaginal dryness, discomfort with sex, urinary changes, mood swings, anxiety, “brain fog,” joint aches, fatigue, and reduced libido. These symptoms are well‑documented and can significantly affect quality of life, work, and relationships. Expert groups recognize hormone therapy as the most effective treatment for hot flashes, night sweats, and genitourinary symptoms, and also note benefits for bone health when appropriately prescribed.

How Renew’s BHRT Program Works
At Renew in Springfield, MA, BHRT will be:
- Nurse practitioner–driven and closely monitored
- Personalized, based on a full history, risk assessment, and symptom profile
- Primarily compounded from well‑vetted pharmacies, with careful attention to quality, consistency, and regulatory standards, and use of FDA‑approved products when they are the best fit
- Occasionally offer non-hormonal treatment options to treat menopause symptoms.
Your plan may include bioidentical estrogen and progesterone, and in select cases other hormones, using the lowest effective dose and routes that align with current recommendations (for example, transdermal options in women with higher clot risk). Treatment decisions will follow guidance from menopause and endocrine societies that emphasize individual risk–benefit assessment and regular reassessment over time.
​
Integrating Natural Remedies and Vitamin Support
Renew’s approach is not “just giving hormones.” Each BHRT plan is paired with:
- Nutrition and lifestyle counseling to support weight, sleep, stress management, and cardiovascular health
- Targeted vitamin and nutrient optimization (for example, ensuring adequate vitamin D, B vitamins, magnesium, and other key nutrients), which can support energy, mood, bone health, and the body’s own hormone pathways
- Discussion of evidence‑informed natural remedies—such as exercise, mindfulness, and selected botanicals—when they are safe and appropriate, always as a complement to, not a replacement for, medical therapy
This combined strategy helps clients feel better day‑to‑day while also strengthening the foundations that allow the body to produce and regulate hormones as effectively as it can.
Safety, Myths, and Regulatory Considerations
All hormone therapy—bioidentical or not—can carry risks, including blood clots, stroke, breast cancer, and gallbladder disease, especially at higher doses, or in older women. This is why it is important to be evaluated by a medical provider to assess your risk, and determine whether or not treatment is safe for you. Professional societies and the FDA also stress that compounded BHRT products can be used when a woman needs a customized dose or formulation.
​
At Renew, every BHRT plan will:
- Be built through shared decision‑making, with clear discussion of benefits, alternatives, and risks.
- Based on a review of the patient’s labs and symptoms to determine their baseline hormone levels and how these lab findings relate to what they are experiencing.
- Favor compounded products from carefully vetted pharmacies when clinically justified or FDA‑approved medications.
- Include scheduled follow‑up visits and ongoing laboratory monitoring so treatment remains as safe and effective as possible over time.
