If you’ve been feeling “off” lately—low energy, brain fog, mood swings, or stubborn weight gain—you might be experiencing hormone imbalance. At Refine by Tulsi, we offer expert hormone replacement therapy in Chicago to help you restore balance, vitality, and control over your body.
What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) involves supplementing the body with hormones—like estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone—that may have declined due to age, menopause, perimenopause, or underlying health conditions. The goal is to bring your body back into balance, improving both physical and emotional well-being.
We use bioidentical hormones whenever appropriate, ensuring your body recognizes and utilizes them naturally. Each treatment plan is personalized based on your hormone levels, symptoms, and health goals.
