Natural Hormone Therapy
 Changing hormone symptoms can cause acute and radical distress to women in the perimenopausal and menopausal times of our lives. These symptoms can include depression, mood swings, unexplained weight gain, hot flashes, increased fatigue and irritability, insomnia, skin changes, night sweats, loss of interest in sexual activity, vaginal dryness and incontinence, to name a few. Long-term risks from hormone loss can include cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis.
Improved Quality of Life
 Dr. Jain espouses an entirely optimistic viewpoint about women maintaining femininity and sexuality during and after menopause. She can help guide you through this very valuable transition time by helping you become educated and by providing many healthy treatment and lifestyle options, so that you can know what to expect and make informed choices. There is no doubt that taking effective measures before, during and after menopause does have direct beneficial effects on mood and behavior, and therefore on the quality of our lives.
A major benefit of natural hormone replacement cited by women who use it is the improved quality of life and relief of symptoms. Quality of life cannot be quantified. Your mood, your feeling of well-being, and your satisfaction with yourself and your surroundings is perceived differently by you than it will be by other women. It is a very individual matter. Dr. Jain will tailor your treatment and wellness plan to your individual experience of symptoms and lifestyle. She can make recommendations that will help transform and enhance this experience on several levels, so that your mind, body and spirit can work as one to maximize your enjoyment of life at each progressive stage.
Relief of Hot Flashes
The relief of hot flashes is one of the most significant benefits you will perceive soon after starting natural hormone replacement. Hot flashes can occur during the day or at night, as "night sweats," and can cause sleeping disturbance up to and including the need to shower, change clothing, and change bedding. Natural hormone replacement can bring relief from hot flashes and an improvement in sleep.
Improved Mental Outlook
 Studies have shown that natural hormone replacement can improve the mood of women in the perimenopausal and menopausal stages of life.
The actual reasons for these mood-elevating effects are not fully understood, but it is known that these hormones have many effects within the brain and the nervous system. This mental tonic effect, which is perceived as a feeling of overall well-being, goes beyond the fact that the hot flashes have been relieved. Women often describe a feeling of revitalization and renewal which translates into better performance of personal and work-related obligations and greater enjoyment of daily pleasures.
