Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for Women in Downers Grove, IL
When Did You Stop Feeling Like Yourself?
If your energy is gone, your mood is unpredictable, and your body doesn't respond the way it used to — hormonal imbalance could be the root cause. Our integrative medicine approach finds out why.
Sound Familiar?
You Know Something Is Off.
When your hormones are out of balance, every part of your life feels the impact.
You're exhausted all the time — even after a full night's sleep
You've gained weight around your midsection that won't budge no matter what you try
Your mood swings have become unpredictable and overwhelming
You feel anxious, irritable, or emotionally flat — and you can't explain why
Your libido has dropped significantly and intimacy feels like a distant memory
Brain fog, poor concentration, and forgetfulness are becoming your new normal
You're not sleeping well — waking up at 3am with racing thoughts
You've been told your labs are 'normal' but you know something isn't right
Hormonal Balance Is the Root Cause of Your Wellness
Your hormones regulate virtually everything — energy, mood, metabolism, sleep, libido, and mental clarity. When estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or thyroid hormones shift (which naturally happens with age, stress, and lifestyle), the impact can be profound and life-disrupting.
But here's the truth: you don't have to accept feeling terrible as 'just part of getting older.' Hormonal imbalance has a root cause — and our functional medicine practitioner will find it.
At TRU Integrative Wellness, Dr. Marshall and our integrative medicine team evaluate your full hormone panel, symptoms, and health history to create a bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) plan tailored specifically to you.

FAQ
Common Questions
BHRT uses hormones that are chemically identical to what your body naturally produces. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is designed to work with your body's own systems for a more natural, effective approach to wellness.
Hormone pellet therapy involves inserting tiny bioidentical hormone pellets under the skin every 3–4 months. They release a steady, consistent dose — no daily pills or patches needed. It's one of the most effective and convenient forms of BHRT.
When properly prescribed and monitored by a qualified integrative medicine team, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is very safe. We conduct regular bloodwork and check-ins to ensure your levels stay in the optimal range.
Most women notice improvements in energy and mood within 2–4 weeks. Full effects — including better sleep, weight management, and libido — typically develop over 2–3 months.
Actually, properly balanced hormones often make weight management easier. Many women find that stubborn weight starts to come off once their hormones are optimized through BHRT.
'Normal' lab ranges are very broad and don't reflect your individual baseline. A functional medicine practitioner looks deeper — optimizing your levels to where you actually feel your best, not just checking a box.
