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.

I battled for almost 2 years with hot flashes, mood swings, all that goes along with this stage in life. My older sister seemed to be handling it all with ease. I asked her what she was doing. She told me about Winona. A few easy questions and my prescription was mailed to me. I noticed the difference within about a week! I’ve been using Winona for about 3 months now and I feel like I’m back to myself! Thank you!

I’ve been feeling more and more like myself again. We did change up my dose last treatment and that seemed to be a game changer for me. Mood so much better feeling lots more energy and just all around great! Thanks for listening and helping.

We're so thrilled to hear that you're feeling more like yourself again! It's great that the recent dosage adjustment has made such a positive difference in your mood and energy levels. We're glad we could help and appreciate you sharing your experience.
It’s been a life changing experience. My anxiety is completely gone. I can’t believe none of the doctors I’ve seen wanted to explore this option. That’s the most frustrating part. I was on birth control for over 20 years no problem but when you want a perimenopause help, no one is available to help. I love Winona.

HRT really helped
HRT with Winona helped me feel so much better. I was experiencing hot flashes, night sweats, and many other symptoms of perimenopause that I didn’t even realize. I was trying all kinds of supplements and getting no relief. Signing up with Winona and speaking with the doctor online was quick and so helpful. Within a week of receiving HRT the hot flashes and night sweats were almost gone. The other symptoms took a little longer and after speaking with doctor and a small adjustment of meds I was feeling a lot better. I’m so thankful that Winona exists to provide education and relief to women who need help.

No hot flashes!
I wanted to try something to help with my hot flashes that only occurred at night for me but disrupted my sleep greatly. It was easy to set up everything with Winona. It did not take long for the hot flashes to disappear and that has made sleeping so much better for me. I have been on Winona for a year but had to stop for a few months in that year due to knee surgery and it took about 2 months before my hot flashes started back up! Back on and no hot flashes!

I don’t have enough to base a solid rating as my first two months have shown no results as of yet.
Reply from By Winona2026-07-31
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We understand that it can be difficult to evaluate your experience when you’re still early in your treatment journey and haven’t seen the results you were hoping for yet.
Hormone replacement therapy works best when taken consistently over time, and for many women it can take about 10–12 weeks to notice the most significant improvements. Within three months, approximately 80% of women report complete relief from their symptoms, so please don’t feel discouraged if you’re not feeling full relief just yet!
We encourage you to continue following your treatment plan and staying in communication with your Winona physician, who can help address any concerns and determine whether adjustments may be needed.
We appreciate you trusting Winona with your care and taking the time to share your experience.
