Thoughtful Women’s Care Tailored to You 

As the body ages, natural hormone changes from perimenopause and menopause can affect your health and happiness. The body produces less estrogen, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, hot flashes and cold flashes, weight gain, and memory decline. Our hormone replacement therapy for women in Tacoma is designed to be a long-term solution to your symptoms, not a short-term stopgap.

What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy? 

Hormone replacement therapy uses processed bioidentical hormones to restore balance or counteract a natural decline in your body’s hormone production. For women, hormones fluctuate at every stage of life, but the most significant changes occur during perimenopause and menopause. Juvecore Health’s hormone therapy for women in Tacoma can address the following symptoms: 

  • Fatigue
  • Mood swings 
  • Hot and cold flashes
  • Low libido
  • Depleted energy levels 
  • Insomnia and other sleep disruptions
  • Weight changes 
  • Reduced mental focus and clarity

The Juvecore Health Difference 

For decades, women’s hormone health has been overlooked by both medical research and local providers. When women do bring up their concerns and symptoms to their primary care doctors, they may feel dismissed or invalidated, and are often told their symptoms are simply part of aging. Juvecore Health is dedicated to changing the narrative around women’s health in Tacoma and beyond.

We believe women deserve clear answers, open communication, and personalized care that respects their unique physiology, lifestyle, and lived experiences. Our practice is intentionally designed to uplift women and support their long-term wellness, with hormones as the primary focus of our treatments, not a convenient side effect.

Dr Hostteter is super understanding and empathetic toward women going through menopause because she herself is one. She listens and believes that women are their own best advocates when it comes to their healthcare. She’s also careful to do the safest and lowest dose of hormones necessary to curb symptoms, which I appreciate.

I have had nothing but great experiences with this office. Before getting the pellets, I had issues with brittle hair, dry skin, sleepless nights, weight gain, mood swings, etc. Since getting the pellets, I have been much happier with my life, and my husband has been much more satisfied as well, if you know what I mean. You will not be disappointed, this place is top-notch.

After going through Menopause, I thought my body was literally falling apart. After receiving no help from my primary care doctor for a variety of symptoms such as insomnia, restless leg, muscle aches, and an overall feeling of fatigue, I found the help I was looking for here. After reviewing my labs, they discovered my hormone levels were extremely low. After getting my first pellet, I finally felt like my old self again!! The staff are incredibly kind and listen to any concerns or questions that you have. I drive over an hour to come here, and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

—J.R.

I have been seeing Dr Lucy for several years now. She is fantastic! Her knowledge of hormones and her ability to actually listen are unmatched by any other! I love my Bio Te hormones. I tell everyone about her... Why go through menopause and feel awful for years? Normal gynecologists and PCPs have no education on female hormones, and therefore, they can not help you! They may want to, but without the knowledge, they can't! Lucy has done the research and knows how to make you feel comfortable with your body again! Just go in for a consultation... Ask questions... Dr Hostetter has some answers for you. You will thank me later!

How Does Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) Work? 

Every patient’s journey at Juvecore Health begins with a private consultation. There, your provider will review your medical history, listen to your goals and concerns, and order the appropriate laboratory testing. Once your test results are available, your provider will create a personalized treatment plan to address your hormone imbalances and help restore your quality of life. 

Our patients typically receive hormone replacement therapy in the form of pellets, which are placed under the skin to provide a steady stream of hormones. Your pellet insertion schedule will depend on your physiological needs and symptoms, but most patients receive two to four insertions a year. Optimal hormone levels are typically achieved two weeks after pellet insertion, and you’ll return to our office regularly for follow-up testing and symptom monitoring.

Why Should You Consider Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women in Tacoma? 

Symptoms of a hormone imbalance go beyond simple discomfort and can have lasting effects on your whole-body wellness. In many cases, symptoms begin up to 15 years before the onset of menopause, making early intervention crucial for maintaining your quality of life.

Sedentary lifestyles and high-stress work environments can intensify symptoms further and increase the number of younger women dealing with hormone imbalances. With bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, you can restore your hormones to optimal levels and enter perimenopause and menopause with confidence and comfort. Our customized treatments can alleviate your symptoms and enhance your overall well-being, enabling you to resume a more active and healthy lifestyle. 

Frequently Asked Question BHRT for Women

Is hormone therapy only for menopause?

No. Our hormone replacement therapy for women in Tacoma can be administered during menopause, perimenopause, or postmenopause, and may be appropriate for non-menopausal hormone imbalances. Your provider will determine your eligibility based on your bloodwork and medical history.

How long does hormone therapy last?

Your treatment duration will vary depending on your unique case. Some women continue therapy throughout the postmenopause, while others gradually reduce or discontinue treatment over time. Talk to your provider to explore your options and learn more about long-term hormone therapy.

How often will I need follow-up appointments?

Follow-up appointment schedules vary between patients and may change throughout your treatment. Many patients begin with more frequent follow-ups, typically one to two times per month, but transition into monthly or bimonthly check-ins once their hormone levels have stabilized.

Is bioidentical hormone therapy different from traditional hormone therapy?

Yes. Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those produced by the body, while traditional hormones may have slightly different chemical properties. Our therapy is administered in pellet form for steady, gradual hormone release, while traditional creams, gels, and patches require frequent reapplication and can cause daily hormone fluctuations.
