Still getting your period every month? That doesn't rule out perimenopause.

Hot flashes, night sweats, disrupted sleep, and unexpected weight gain around your midsection can begin before your cycle becomes irregular.

Forum Health provider Alicia Barkholtz, FNP-C, explains why hormonal changes can show up even when your period is right on schedule.

Noticing changes you can't explain? You don't have to wait until menopause to seek answers.

👻 Some women's health advice deserves to be ghosted. 👻

“It's just stress.”
“Just eat less.”
“Normal levels mean you're fine.”

Sound familiar?

The truth is, women's health, especially in midlife, isn't always that simple.

Hormonal changes, thyroid function, sleep, and metabolic health can all influence how you feel.

And understanding what's happening starts with looking at the full picture.

Forum Health specializes in personalized hormone therapy, thyroid health, and metabolic wellness to help women better understand their symptoms and explore appropriate treatment options.

The only thing we're keeping this spooky season is care that takes YOU personally. 🧡

Hormone health goes way beyond estrogen and testosterone.

Your thyroid helps regulate metabolism. Insulin controls blood sugar. Cortisol helps your body respond to stress. And these hormone systems influence one another.

So when you're looking at hormone bloodwork, one number rarely answers every question.

Traci Eliszewski, NP, explains why she looks at multiple hormone systems when evaluating patients and what those lab results can help reveal.

Here's a question worth asking at your next appointment: What are we testing for, and how will the results guide my care?

When intimacy changes, it’s easy to think the relationship has changed.

But menopause symptoms in women and low testosterone in men can affect s*xual desire, leaving couples wondering what happened to the connection they used to have.

Andrew Eliszewski, DC, shares why some of the most meaningful conversations about hormone health go beyond physical symptoms and into our closest relationships.

Before assuming it’s a relationship issue, consider what might be happening with your health.

Bone health isn't usually the first topic at a menopause appointment.

But some women can lose up to 20% of their bone density in the 5–7 years after menopause.

Here's the connection: estrogen helps slow bone breakdown. As estrogen levels decline, bones can lose density faster than the body replaces it.

For women who are good candidates, FDA-approved bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help slow that loss and reduce fracture risk.

Our providers look at your symptoms, health history, and long-term health goals to help you understand your options from hormone therapy to longevity.

Testosterone isn't just for men, and new research is raising questions about its role in menopause beyond libido.

Hormone therapy has spent more than two decades surrounded by headlines, fear and conflicting advice.

Much of that conversation still traces back to the Women's Health Initiative, but our understanding of menopausal hormone therapy has become far more nuanced since then.

Timing matters. The type of hormone matters. Route and dose matter. And most importantly, the individual woman matters.

If you fought for that HRT prescription, finally got it, and you still feel the same, then I have news for you.

You are not alone. 1 in 3 women who signed up for my last masterclass was already on hormone therapy, and almost none of them had been retested since the day somebody set the dose.

Join me for my upcoming free Hormone Code Masterclass on Oct 22nd at 4pm PT / 6pm CT / 7pm ET.

I'll show you the three ways women get dismissed, undertested, and misinterpreted when it comes to getting their hormones checked. I'll go through the real numbers you should be looking for, and why "normal" is not the same as "optimal," and that gap between the two can make all the difference in how your body feels on a daily basis.

And I'll give you the next steps to getting your energy back, clearing the brain fog, and calming the rage that comes out of nowhere so you can begin to feel like yourself again.

Painful periods? Birth control.
Acne? Birth control.
PMS? Birth control.

But what about understanding WHY these symptoms are happening?

Hormonal birth control can provide relief, but it shouldn't be a substitute for investigating persistent menstrual symptoms and possible underlying conditions.

Forum Health provider Traci Eliszewski, NP, challenges the idea of birth control as a one-size-fits-all solution and explains why hormone health deserves attention long before menopause.

Turning 65 isn't automatically an expiration date for hormone therapy.

For years, many women were advised to discontinue menopausal hormone therapy simply because of their age.

Today, the conversation is more individualized, and factors like symptoms, health history, dose and route of administration all matter.

Dr. Connie Casebolt breaks down findings from a major study of hormone therapy use after 65 and what women should understand when discussing long-term treatment with their provider.

Watch her explanation and read the findings →
