Estrogen and progesterone therapy at NPMD is for women who want a thoughtful conversation about perimenopause or menopause support, not a generic hormone script. In Encino, we use hormone planning to help patients who are dealing with hot flashes, sleep disruption, vaginal dryness, mood changes, cycle shifts, or the general sense that their body is no longer responding the way it used to.
That conversation needs nuance because hormone therapy is not the same for every patient. The right plan depends on symptoms, history, timing, risks, goals, and whether the expected benefit actually matches what the patient is trying to improve.
This service is most relevant when the main concern is menopausal or perimenopausal symptom burden rather than general fatigue alone. It is often part of a broader quality-of-life discussion about sleep, comfort, stability, and how daily life feels during a hormone transition.
The first visit usually reviews symptom pattern, menstrual or menopausal stage, medical history, prior hormone use, and what the patient most wants to improve first. We also talk through what hormone therapy can help, what it may not help, and when another path may be more appropriate.
For some patients, hormone therapy becomes the leading option. For others, the plan may need to include broader thyroid review, lifestyle support, or a different medical evaluation before estrogen or progesterone becomes the right next move.
This page is about the overall medical conversation around estrogen and progesterone therapy. It is not limited to one delivery system. Patients who specifically want pellet-based planning may also compare this discussion with BioTe hormone therapy, but the clinical question here is bigger than a product format.
Practical reading selected for this service so patients can understand timing, options, and what to expect before booking.
Midlife weight changes are often more complicated than willpower. A hormone-focused visit can connect sleep, stress, blood sugar, thyroid context, and symptom patterns.

When fatigue, feeling cold, slower recovery, and brain fog keep clustering together, generic wellness advice may stop being useful. A physician-led thyroid evaluation can review symptom timing, prior labs, medication context, and whether the thyroid deserves closer attention or a different issue fits better.

Good candidates usually want a gentle, non-invasive treatment to support calmer-looking skin, redness reduction, acne-prone skin support, or a healthier glow with little to no downtime. Consultation is important if you have a history of skin cancer, inherited eye disease, seizures triggered by light, photosensitivity, pregnancy-related concerns, or medications that increase light sensitivity such as isotretinoin or lithium.
PATIENT FEEDBACK

Published patient feedback from recent NPMD visits.
Personal Trainer
I recommend NPMD to all my clients who want to optimize their health beyond what fitness alone can achieve. Their IV therapy helps with recovery, and the hormone optimization program has been fantastic for several of my older clients who were struggling with energy and body composition despite consistent exercise.
Architect
The PRP therapy for my receding hairline has produced noticeable results that I honestly did not expect. After four sessions, my hair is visibly thicker and the thinning areas are filling in. The treatment itself was painless and the staff made me feel completely at ease throughout the process.
Real Estate Agent
In my profession, first impressions matter. The chemical peel series I did at NPMD gave me the clear, glowing skin I had been trying to achieve with expensive skincare products for years. My provider was honest about what would work best and the results speak for themselves.
Graphic Designer
I have struggled with melasma for years and was told it was untreatable. The dermatology team at NPMD developed a careful treatment plan combining specific peels and medical-grade skincare that has significantly lightened my melasma patches. For the first time, I feel comfortable going without heavy foundation.
Registered Nurse
As a healthcare professional, I appreciate NPMD's evidence-based approach and transparent communication. They never oversell treatments or make unrealistic promises. Every recommendation comes with clear explanations of expected outcomes, risks, and alternatives. It is refreshing to find providers who prioritize patient education alongside excellent clinical care.
