What is HRT?
Hormone replacement therapy, explained.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) restores the estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone your body produces less of during perimenopause and menopause. Replacing these hormones can relieve hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, mood changes, vaginal dryness, and more — and per the 2022 NAMS Position Statement, it remains the most effective treatment for moderate-to-severe symptoms in healthy women under 60.
Hormones we prescribe
- Estradiol — bioidentical estrogen, the foundation of menopause HRT
- Progesterone — micronized, oral; protects the uterine lining
- Testosterone — when clinically appropriate, for libido and energy
Delivery options
- Transdermal patch — steady dosing, lower clot risk than oral
- Topical cream or gel — flexible, easy to titrate
- Oral capsules — for progesterone and select cases
- Vaginal estrogen — targeted relief for genitourinary symptoms
What to expect
- Symptom improvement often within 2–6 weeks
- Full benefit typically by 3 months
- Dose adjustments are normal — message your clinician anytime
Safety & risks
Honest information about HRT risks.
Like any medication, hormone therapy has risks as well as benefits. The North American Menopause Society and ACOG conclude that for most healthy women under 60 — or within 10 years of menopause onset — the benefits of HRT outweigh the risks. Your kindr clinician will review your full history before prescribing.
Possible risks
- Small increased risk of blood clots, especially with oral estrogen
- Small increased risk of stroke
- Small increased risk of breast cancer with long-term combined estrogen + progesterone
- Breast tenderness, spotting, or bloating in the first weeks
HRT may not be right if you have
- A history of breast or endometrial cancer
- Unexplained vaginal bleeding
- Active liver disease
- A recent stroke, heart attack, or blood clot

Menopause symptoms HRT can help
If menopause is affecting your daily life, you have real options.
Hormone replacement therapy is the most effective treatment for moderate-to-severe menopause symptoms, according to the North American Menopause Society (NAMS) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). kindr clinicians prescribe HRT to relieve symptoms including:
Hot flashes & night sweats
Sudden waves of heat, flushing, and sweating that disrupt sleep and daily life.
Sleep disruption & insomnia
Difficulty falling or staying asleep — often tied to night sweats or hormonal shifts.
Mood changes & anxiety
Irritability, low mood, and anxiety that feel new or harder to manage.
Vaginal dryness & discomfort
Dryness, itching, or pain during intimacy caused by declining estrogen.
Brain fog & memory lapses
Trouble concentrating, finding words, or remembering small details.
Joint pain & fatigue
Aching joints, low energy, and physical exhaustion that wasn’t there before.

"I spent three years being told my labs were normal while I could barely get out of bed. Within six weeks of starting HRT with Kindr my sleep came back, my brain fog lifted, and I finally felt like myself again."

"I'm 41 and my doctor kept dismissing me. Kindr took one look at my symptom history and said — this is perimenopause. I had a treatment plan within 24 hours. I wish I had found them years ago."

"The weight I gained during menopause wouldn't budge no matter what I did. My Kindr provider coordinated my HRT and GLP-1 together. Down 22 pounds in four months and my hormones are finally balanced."
