Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a way of restoring the balance of your hormones while aiming to relieve the symptoms that often come with imbalances such as fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, sleep issues, and more; using hormones that are identical in structure to those naturally produced by the body. Both women and men experience a decrease in hormone levels naturally with age, BHRT is an effective solution that can help.
Direct Primary Care
Direct primary care is a new healthcare model that offers patients personalized, affordable care. Unlike traditional insurance-based practices, DPC involves a flat monthly fee, rather than per-visit charges. This allows for more time with your doctor, leading to better relationships and care. With DPC, you can expect shorter wait times, same-day appointments, and easier access to your provider.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when we’re reminded to schedule screenings, wear pink with pride, and celebrate survivorship. But beyond awareness, this month also offers an opportunity to look deeper into something that often goes overlooked — the connection between hormones and breast health. At Rooted Health & Wellness, we believe in empowering women with knowledge. Understanding how your hormones influence overall health — including breast tissue — can help you take a proactive, preventative approach to your wellness journey. Understanding the Role of Hormones in Breast Health Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone play vital roles in your body. They influence mood, metabolism, energy, and yes — breast tissue development and maintenance. When hormone levels become imbalanced, whether from menopause, stress, lifestyle changes, or age, they can contribute to a variety of symptoms including fatigue, weight changes, sleep issues, and more. It’s important to remember that not all hormone activity is harmful. In fact, hormones are essential for healthy cellular function and breast tissue renewal. The key is balance — ensuring your hormone levels are within an optimal range and monitored by a provider who understands your unique physiology. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) & Breast Cancer: Separating Fact from Fear There’s a lot of confusion and misinformation about HRT and breast cancer risk. Decades ago, early studies suggested that hormone therapy might increase risk — but we now know those studies were often limited in scope and didn’t account for key variables such as age, type of therapy, and individual health factors. Today’s bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is personalized and carefully monitored. For many women, it provides significant benefits, including: Relief from hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep disruptions Improved mood, focus, and energy Protection for bone and heart health Enhanced quality of life and sexual wellness When prescribed and managed by a trained professional, HRT can be safe, effective, and tailored to your body’s needs. At Rooted Health & Wellness, we take a careful, evidence-based approach — using comprehensive lab testing, individualized dosing, and ongoing monitoring to keep you safe and balanced. How to Be Proactive About Your Breast Health Whether you’re currently using HRT or simply want to take charge of your health, these proactive steps make a meaningful difference: Schedule your annual mammogram and talk to your provider about your personal risk factors. Perform monthly breast self-exams to stay familiar with your normal. Maintain a balanced lifestyle — including whole-food nutrition, movement, and quality sleep. Know your hormone levels — testing can provide insight into your body’s balance and guide preventative care. Partner with a provider who listens, educates, and customizes care to you. The Bottom Line Hormone health and breast health are deeply connected — and understanding that relationship empowers you to make informed, confident decisions. At Rooted Health & Wellness, we’re here to support you with compassionate, evidence-based care that looks at the whole picture — from your hormones to your lifestyle, and everything in between. If you’ve been curious about hormone testing or HRT, October is the perfect time to start the conversation. Give us a call today, to get started.
As we head into October’s Menopause Awareness Month, it’s the perfect time to start a conversation that has been kept in the shadows for far too long. Menopause is a natural phase of life — but for many women, it’s one filled with unanswered questions, confusing symptoms, and the feeling of going through it alone. At Rooted Health & Wellness, we believe in changing that narrative. Why This Conversation Matters For generations, menopause has been whispered about instead of openly discussed. Yet the reality is that every woman will experience it, and each journey is unique. From hot flashes and sleep struggles to shifts in mood and energy, menopause touches nearly every part of health and well-being. The more we talk about it, the more empowered women feel to take control of their health — and the better supported they’ll be by their families, friends, and communities. The M Factor: Shredding the Silence Last year, PBS released a groundbreaking documentary called The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause. This powerful film dives deep into the stories of women navigating menopause, breaking down stigma, and bringing awareness to the importance of research, support, and open conversation. It’s honest, real, and — most importantly — it reminds us that women don’t have to face menopause in isolation. A Challenge for You and Your Girlfriends This October, we want to invite you to join us in kicking off Menopause Awareness Month with a challenge: 👉 Gather your girlfriends, sisters, or women in your life and host a watch party of The M Factor. Make it an evening of honesty, connection, and support. Talk about what you’ve experienced, what you’ve learned, and what you still want to know. The more we normalize these conversations, the more we empower each other. Rooted in Support At Rooted Health & Wellness, we know that menopause isn’t just a stage of life — it’s an important chapter of your health journey. We’re here to answer questions, provide support, and walk with you through the transition with compassionate, personalized care. Let’s make this October about more than awareness.
