Join the women's groupRead the journalWhat is HRT?Hormone fluctuations are part of every woman’s life; from puberty to menopause, hormones spike and wane. As women enter the menopause transition in their late 30s and early 40s, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone begin to steadily decline, creating challenging symptoms.There are over 100 symptoms associated with declining hormones in the menopause transition, some of the most common including hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a prescription treatment used to boost hormone levels, by replenishing the estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone that diminish over time. At Winona, we only use plant-based, bioidentical hormones that are identical in molecular structure to those made naturally in your body.If you’re feeling overwhelmed by menopause symptoms, you’re not alone. Winona’s board-certified physicians are available to listen to your concerns and design a personalized HRT plan just for you. Read all about HRT. What is Menopause?Throughout a woman’s life, the female hormones estrogen and progesterone are responsible for reproductive health and for supporting many of the tissues throughout the body. These hormones are produced in the ovary, when stimulated by the brain to do so. As a woman ages, the ovaries stop producing sex hormones at the same rate.This can happen as early as in the late 30s or early 40s, and women may start to notice symptoms as a result of their changing hormones. Hormonal fluctuations may begin to cause irregularities in menstrual bleeding, mood swings, hot flashes, brain fog, changes in metabolism, and changes in sleep patterns. Some women may suffer from these types of symptoms for up to 10 years, before they finally complete the menopause transition. Read all about Menopause.

This changed my life. I was hesitant to try HRT. I thought I could handle this on my own. It got to a point where I was losing my mind, felt erratic, the hot flashes weren't just heat & sweats - it felt like needles stinging my body. Signing up for By Winona was simple. Everything came quickly and within 3 DAYS, I was 80 % better. I was honestly surprise how quickly my body absorbed the hormonal treatment. In less than 7 days, all of my symptoms disappeared. Along with DHEA, I am so much more stable. I highly recommend BW. Don't sleep on this. No need to suffer.

I felt like I was not myself anymore…
I felt like I was not myself anymore and was on the fence for awhile about trying anything. I finally tried Winona and haven’t been disappointed. The process is easy and they are available to answer any questions you may have and the ongoing support, forums, chats, etc to connect with others is wonderful. I’m glad I finally made the move to try it.
