Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect every aspect of your health—from energy and metabolism to sleep, mood, mental clarity, and libido. At Heim Regenerative Medicine Center, we take a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to hormone optimization, creating personalized treatment plans designed to help women restore balance and improve their quality of life.
Hormonal imbalances can affect many aspects of daily life. Common symptoms include:
These symptoms are often attributed to stress or aging, but they may also be related to hormonal changes. A comprehensive evaluation can help determine whether hormone imbalance is contributing to how you feel.
Unlike clinics that simply prescribe hormones based on a few lab values, Heim Regenerative Medicine Center evaluates your overall health to identify the underlying factors affecting your symptoms. Our goal is to create a personalized treatment plan that supports your long-term health—not just your hormone levels.
Your program begins with extensive laboratory testing, which may include:
Comprehensive Hormone Panel
Thyroid Function
Metabolic & General Health
Inflammation & Cardiovascular Health
Vitamin & Nutritional Status
Growth & Wellness Marker
This comprehensive evaluation gives us a detailed picture of your health so we can identify factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.
Once your lab work is complete, you’ll meet with Kristen or Dr. Heim for a comprehensive one-hour consultation. During your visit, we review:
Together, we create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.
Based on your evaluation, we’ll recommend the hormone therapy option that best fits your needs, symptoms, lifestyle, and health goals.
Hormone optimization is an ongoing process. Your program includes a one-month follow-up appointment to review your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Most patients return every six months for focused follow-up lab work and treatment review. At least one in-office visit is required annually, although some therapies may require more frequent monitoring.
Hormones are the cornerstone of many essential body functions, including metabolism, energy production, mood, sleep, cognitive function, sexual health, and overall well-being. During perimenopause and menopause, declining or fluctuating hormone levels can have widespread effects on physical and emotional health.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced by the body. Because these hormones closely match the body’s own hormones, they are designed to interact with hormone receptors in a natural way. The effectiveness of hormone therapy depends not only on the hormone itself but also on selecting the appropriate dose and delivery method for each individual.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, we personalize treatment based on your symptoms, laboratory findings, medical history, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
Treatment options may include:
BioTE pellets provide a steady release of hormones over time and offer a convenient option for patients who prefer not to manage daily dosing.
Compounded hormone injections, including testosterone-based therapies, provide another option for individualized hormone replacement and flexible dosing.
Capsules offer convenient, customized dosing for patients requiring systemic hormone support.
Troches are dissolvable lozenges absorbed through the tissues of the mouth, offering an alternative to traditional oral medications.
Hormone creams are absorbed through the skin and allow for flexible, personalized dosing while avoiding daily pills.
Vaginal hormone therapies provide targeted treatment for vaginal dryness, discomfort, and other genitourinary symptoms while minimizing systemic exposure.
Our goal is to recommend the safest and most effective therapy for your individual needs while providing ongoing monitoring to optimize long-term results.
Hormone optimization is only one part of our approach.
We believe lasting results come from understanding the whole person—not simply treating lab values. Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation that considers hormone balance alongside metabolic health, nutrition, inflammation, body composition, lifestyle habits, and long-term wellness goals.
Patients also benefit from the expertise of Dr. Michael Heim, who is board-certified in Family Medicine and Osteopathic Manipulation, board-certified in Bariatric Medicine, and has completed fellowship training through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. For more than 15 years, Dr. Heim has helped patients optimize their health through evidence-based hormone optimization, weight management, regenerative medicine, and preventative wellness strategies.
Our philosophy is simple: provide personalized care, identify the underlying causes of symptoms, and create a treatment plan that supports long-term health—not just temporary symptom relief.
You don’t have to accept fatigue, poor sleep, brain fog, mood changes, or other symptoms as a normal part of aging. Our team is committed to helping you understand what’s causing your symptoms and creating a personalized treatment plan that supports your long-term health.

Many symptoms commonly associated with hormone imbalance can also be caused by stress, aging, or other medical conditions. The best way to determine whether hormones are contributing is through a comprehensive evaluation that includes laboratory testing, a review of your symptoms, and your medical history.
Your first appointment includes a detailed review of your lab results, symptoms, medical history, lifestyle habits, body composition analysis, and wellness goals. Based on this information, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan designed around your specific needs.
Every patient responds differently. Some women notice improvements within a few weeks, while others experience gradual improvement over the following months. Throughout your treatment, we’ll monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed.
We don’t believe hormone optimization should be based on hormone levels alone. Our program evaluates your overall health, body composition, nutrition, lifestyle, inflammation, and metabolic health to develop a comprehensive treatment strategy tailored specifically to you.
Yes. Ongoing monitoring helps ensure your treatment remains safe and effective. Most patients complete follow-up laboratory testing every six months, along with regular appointments to review progress and adjust treatment as needed.
The first step is scheduling a consultation. We’ll order comprehensive laboratory testing, review your health history and symptoms, and determine whether hormone replacement therapy is appropriate for your individual needs.
