Narges also offers hormone pellet therapy and is BioTE certified, allowing eligible patients to explore a longer-lasting hormone support option when appropriate.
Pellet therapy is recommended only after a personalized consultation, lab review, health history evaluation, and provider assessment.
Hormone Replacement Therapy, often called HRT, is a treatment approach used to support women experiencing symptoms related to hormone changes. These changes are common during perimenopause and menopause, but they can also occur earlier due to stress, thyroid issues, metabolic changes, or other health factors. HRT may help restore hormone levels in a way that supports sleep, mood, energy, libido, temperature regulation, and overall quality of life.
HRT may help women who are experiencing hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, mood changes, irritability, anxiety, brain fog, fatigue, low libido, vaginal dryness, weight changes, or feeling unlike themselves. Because these symptoms can overlap with thyroid, adrenal, metabolic, and inflammatory issues, a personalized evaluation is important before starting treatment.
No. Many women begin experiencing hormone shifts during perimenopause, which can start years before menopause. During this time, estrogen and progesterone may fluctuate, leading to symptoms even if menstrual cycles are still occurring. HRT may be considered for women in perimenopause or menopause when symptoms, labs, health history, and goals support that option.
Yes. Root Cause Wellness Center offers hormone pellet therapy for eligible women, and Narges is BioTE certified. Pellet therapy may be an option for women experiencing symptoms related to perimenopause, menopause, or hormone imbalance who prefer a longer-lasting hormone support option. Your provider will review your symptoms, labs, health history, and goals to determine whether pellet therapy is appropriate for you.
A provider will review your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, risk factors, and lab results to determine whether HRT may be appropriate. The goal is not simply to treat a number on a lab report, but to understand the full picture of what is happening in your body. Some women may be good candidates for HRT, while others may need support with thyroid function, nutrition, stress, inflammation, or metabolic health first.
Yes. Lab testing helps provide a clearer picture of hormone patterns and can also help identify other contributors to symptoms, such as thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, inflammation, or nutrient deficiencies. Testing may include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid markers, metabolic markers, and other labs depending on your symptoms and health history.
Results vary from person to person. Some women may notice improvements in hot flashes, night sweats, sleep, mood, or energy within a few weeks, while deeper changes in libido, body composition, mental clarity, and overall balance may take longer. Follow-up care is important because hormone needs can change over time, and treatment may need to be adjusted based on symptoms, labs, and response.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy, or TRT, is a medically guided treatment used to support men with symptoms and lab findings consistent with low testosterone. Testosterone plays an important role in energy, mood, libido, strength, motivation, recovery, metabolism, and overall vitality. TRT is not a one-size-fits-all treatment, and it should be personalized based on symptoms, lab results, health history, and ongoing monitoring.
Low testosterone may show up as low energy, low libido, brain fog, reduced motivation, mood changes, irritability, weight gain, increased belly fat, decreased muscle tone, poor workout recovery, reduced strength, or a general feeling of not performing at your best. These symptoms can also be connected to sleep, stress, thyroid function, insulin resistance, inflammation, or lifestyle factors, so a full evaluation is important.
No. While testosterone can affect libido and sexual function, it also influences many other areas of men’s health. Healthy testosterone levels may support energy, mood, focus, motivation, lean muscle, metabolism, strength, recovery, and overall well-being. A good TRT plan looks at the whole person, not just sexual symptoms.
Yes. Root Cause Wellness Center offers testosterone pellet therapy for eligible men, and Narges is BioTE certified. Pellet therapy may be an option for men experiencing symptoms related to low testosterone who prefer a longer-lasting treatment approach. Your provider will review your symptoms, labs, health history, and safety markers to determine whether testosterone pellet therapy is appropriate for you.
The best way to evaluate testosterone is through both symptoms and lab testing. A provider may review total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, estradiol, blood count, metabolic markers, and other safety labs. Symptoms matter because some men may have “normal” lab values but still feel poorly, while others may have low numbers without needing TRT. The full clinical picture helps guide the right plan.
Yes. TRT should always be monitored over time. Follow-up labs help evaluate testosterone levels, blood count, estrogen balance, metabolic markers, and overall safety. Your provider may also track energy, mood, libido, strength, sleep, and body composition changes. Monitoring allows the plan to be adjusted carefully instead of guessing.
Results vary. Some men may notice improvements in energy, mood, motivation, or libido within several weeks. Changes in strength, body composition, metabolism, and recovery may take longer and are usually best supported with nutrition, exercise, sleep, and lifestyle changes. TRT works best when it is part of a complete health plan, not a standalone quick fix.
