Feel Your Best with Personalized HRT
At The Retreat Restorative & Aesthetics, we offer bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to restore balance and help you regain energy, clarity, and vitality.
Aging naturally reduces key hormones like estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, and HGH, leading to symptoms often tied to aging. Whether you're experiencing fatigue, mood swings, weight changes, or other challenges, BHRT offers a natural and effective way to restore harmony and help you feel your best.
What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
As we age, our bodies naturally produce lower levels of essential hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone. This hormonal decline can lead to a range of uncomfortable symptoms, including:
- Discomfort during sex
- Hot flashes
- Insomnia
- Mood swings
- Night sweats
- Urinary incontinence
- Vaginal dryness
At The Retreat & Restorative Aesthetics, hormone replacement therapy replenishes the hormones your body no longer produces, helping to alleviate these symptoms and improve your overall well-being.
Why Choose Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormonal imbalances can affect how you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally. With bio-identical hormones — designed to replicate the ones your body naturally produces — BHRT works to safely and effectively restore balance.
Benefits Include:
- Boosted energy and reduced fatigue
- Better sleep quality and mental clarity
- A more stable mood
- Improved metabolism and weight management
- Enhanced libido and overall well-being
What Is the HRT Process?
The HRT process at The Retreat begins with a symptom questionnaire to understand your unique situation and symptoms. Then you'll have a consultation with Dr. Joshua Baker and have lab work to assess your hormone levels.
We'll thoroughly explain your treatment options and collaborate with you to determine the best approach for your needs. You'll have time to ask questions and gain a complete understanding of the process before starting treatment.
Finally, Dr. Baker will outline the risks and benefits of your selected hormone optimization treatment. He'll discuss post-treatment care and ensure you feel confident and prepared for your HRT journey.
What Are the Options for HRT?
Oral
- Oral medication is a common HRT method.
- Dr. Baker will prescribe a bio-identical hormone pill and provide detailed instructions for use.
- Dosing and scheduling are personalized, so it's important to follow your specific guidelines.
Injection
- HRT injections are quick and minimally painful.
- Dr. Baker will tailor the dosage to your individual needs.
- You'll visit The Retreat for your injection, administered in the stomach or thigh.
- Injections offer flexible dosing adjustments since they don't require waiting for the treatment to fully deplete.
Topical
- Creams, gels, and sprays offer another HRT option.
- These are applied to the skin, allowing hormones to absorb directly into the bloodstream.
- Application instructions will vary, and your doctor will provide a personalized treatment plan.
Vaginal
- Low-dose vaginal products, including creams, tablets, or rings, are applied in or on the vagina.
- These options minimize systemic estrogen absorption and are typically recommended for addressing vaginal and urinary symptoms of menopause.
Hormone Therapy for Men
Men experience hormonal shifts too, often referred to as andropause. low testosterone, or “low T,” can lead to fatigue, reduced muscle mass, lower libido, and mood changes. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) offers a targeted solution to restore your vitality and confidence.
In addition to testosterone, we may recommend DHEA supplementation, which helps support overall energy levels, immune function, and mental clarity. Together, these treatments can help you reclaim your edge.

The Role of DHEA
DHEA, a precursor to both estrogen and testosterone, plays an important role in your body’s overall hormone production. Supplementing with DHEA can improve energy levels, enhance immunity, and support mood and mental well-being.
Holistic Solutions for Aging
Hormonal health is interconnected with other aspects of wellness. Declining hormone levels can impact areas like sexual health, hair restoration, and weight management. We offer complementary therapies, including peptides, to optimize your overall health and quality of life.
