The Science

What's Actually Driving
How You Feel & How You Look

Your symptoms aren't in your head — they have a biological root. Understanding what's happening inside your body is the first step to changing it.

System 01
Hormones
"The GPS of your body"

Hormones are your body's messaging system. When signals are strong, every system — mood, energy, sleep, metabolism, and cycles — stays coordinated. When levels fall, the signals weaken and everything starts to drift.

Estrogen drops 35% from ages 35–50. Progesterone drops 75%. Menopause marks an abrupt hormonal shift that disrupts nearly every system in the body.
System 02
Metabolism
"The thermostat of your body"

Perimenopause triggers increased fat storage. Menopause adds muscle loss and a slower metabolic rate. Post-menopause, visceral fat accumulation rises even when weight appears stable. This is why doing everything "right" still doesn't work.

Weight gain risk increases 40–60% during the perimenopause-to-menopause transition — driven by biology, not willpower.
System 03
Mitochondria
"Your rechargeable battery"

Mitochondria power every cell in your body. They're stable until around 40, then decline sharply — losing ~25% function through perimenopause and up to 50% by age 75. This is why fatigue in midlife feels cellular, not circumstantial.

NAD+ — essential for mitochondrial function — declines by up to 50% by midlife, accelerated by estrogen loss.
System 04
Inflammation
"The overheated engine"

Estrogen is a natural anti-inflammatory. As levels fall, systemic inflammation rises — increasing markers like IL-6, CRP, and TNF-α. This "inflammaging" contributes to joint pain, autoimmune flares, weight resistance, and cardiovascular risk.

Chronic low-grade inflammation in post-menopause raises risk for obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
System 05
Collagen
"The scaffolding of your skin"

Collagen declines ~1% per year from your mid-20s. But in the first 5 years after menopause, up to 30% is lost rapidly — accelerating skin sagging, thinning, and wrinkling. What you see on the outside reflects a hormonal shift on the inside.

After that initial drop, collagen continues declining at ~2% per year. The window to protect it matters.

What Care Looks Like

A Real Treatment Plan,
Built Around a Real Woman

This is what physician-led, integrated women's wellness actually looks like — not a prescription and a follow-up in six months, but a full protocol built around your biology.

Targeted Peptide Blend
A physician-designed stack to address her joint pain, inflammation, weight, skin, and hair — working synergistically with her hormone protocol.

Women's Wellness Assessment

Which Refine Her Program Is Right for You?

8 questions about how you feel right now. We'll match you to the membership tier that fits your symptoms, goals, and where you are in your wellness journey.

Your Assessment 1 of 8
Question 1 of 8
What's the symptom that bothers you most right now?
  • Fatigue, brain fog, or low energy — I don't feel like myself
  • Weight gain, metabolic resistance, or stubborn fat despite trying everything
  • Multiple things at once — hormones, weight, sleep, mood, and skin are all off
  • Mood shifts, anxiety, or irritability that feel hormonally driven
Question 2 of 8
Where are you in your hormonal journey?
  • I'm in my 30s — PMS is worse than it used to be, or something feels off
  • I'm in perimenopause — irregular cycles, hot flashes, or noticeable changes
  • I'm in or past menopause — and I want to feel vital and strong for decades
  • I've been told my labs are "normal" but I know something isn't right
Question 3 of 8
How is your sleep?
  • I fall asleep okay but wake up exhausted — never rested
  • I wake up at 2 or 3am and can't get back to sleep
  • Night sweats, hot flashes, or anxiety are destroying my sleep
  • Sleep is okay — my bigger issues are energy and mood during the day
Question 4 of 8
How is your relationship with your weight and metabolism?
  • Weight is mostly stable — my issue is energy and hormones, not weight
  • I've gained weight recently and nothing is shifting it despite my best efforts
  • Significant metabolic changes — I need real medical support, not just lifestyle tips
  • I'm doing well with weight but want GLP-1 or peptide support for optimization
Question 5 of 8
Are you noticing changes in your skin or hair?
  • Minor changes — a bit drier or duller than before
  • Noticeable thinning hair, loss of skin elasticity, or accelerated aging
  • Significant changes — I want a comprehensive skin and body rejuvenation plan
  • Skin and hair are fine — wellness and hormones are my priority
Question 6 of 8
What have you already tried to feel better?
  • Supplements, better sleep, or diet changes — with limited results
  • I've seen an OB or primary care doctor who dismissed my symptoms
  • I've tried hormone therapy or other treatments but want a more comprehensive approach
  • This is my first step — I haven't tried anything yet but I'm ready to commit
Question 7 of 8
What does success look like for you?
  • Feeling balanced and like myself again — hormones stabilized, energy restored
  • Losing weight, reducing inflammation, and feeling strong in my body
  • Total transformation — inside and out. I want to invest in my health at the highest level
  • Slowing the aging process and building a long-term health strategy
Question 8 of 8
How do you approach investing in your health?

Why It Matters

Traditional Care vs The Refine Her Approach

Most women are told their labs are “normal” and their symptoms are just part of aging. Refine Her looks deeper—addressing hormones, metabolism, inflammation, energy, and skin health together to restore how you truly feel.

What women are usually told

Traditional Care

Symptom-based medicine that treats problems in isolation rather than understanding the full hormonal and metabolic transition of midlife.
  • “Your labs are normal” despite fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and mood changes.
  • Care split across multiple specialists with no unified plan.
  • Focus on prescriptions instead of root-cause hormone, metabolic, and inflammatory changes.
  • Little guidance on longevity, energy, body composition, or skin aging.
  • Reactive care that waits for disease instead of optimizing health.
The Refine Her difference

The Refine Her Approach

Physician-led, root-cause care designed to restore energy, metabolism, hormones, and confidence—while supporting long-term longevity and skin health.
  • Comprehensive hormone optimization including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and adrenal health.
  • Metabolic and weight support using nutrition guidance, GLP-1 therapy when appropriate, and body-composition focus.
  • Targeted peptides and mitochondrial support to improve recovery, inflammation, energy, hair, and skin.
  • Integrated skin and regenerative treatments that rebuild collagen and help you look as vibrant as you feel.
  • Proactive longevity medicine focused on how you feel in your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond—not just today.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Refine Her?

Refine Her is a personalized women’s wellness and longevity program designed by Dr. Tulsi Kotecha to help women navigate perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. It blends advanced diagnostics, hormone and peptide optimization, functional nutrition, and regenerative aesthetics to restore balance, vitality, and confidence from the inside out.

Most hormone programs focus on labs and prescriptions. Refine Her looks at the whole woman – hormones, metabolism, inflammation, gut health, and longevity markers.

We also integrate peptides, regenerative medicine, and aesthetic support, recognizing that feeling well and looking well go hand in hand.

Not at all. Many women begin experiencing hormonal shifts years before menopause (perimenopause).
Early testing and support can help prevent symptoms and preserve long-term health. Our approach is preventative, not just reactive.

Depending on your membership tier, your plan may include:
•Comprehensive hormone and wellness labs
•Personalized bioidentical hormone therapy
•Peptide and longevity protocols
•Nutrition, metabolism, and lifestyle coaching
•Regenerative aesthetic options like PRF, microneedling, or skin tightening
•Exclusive member events, education, and community support

We offer three tiers of membership to fit your goals:

  • Foundation $249/month:  physician consult, and personalized hormone optimization plan.

  • Balance$599 month: includes hormone & basic peptide optimization, expanded diagnostics, and aesthetic credits.

  • Thrive$1,299/month: concierge-level longevity care with advanced testing, peptides, regenerative therapies, and quarterly rejuvenation treatments.

All memberships include ongoing physician oversight, exclusive events, and access to the Refine Her community.

Refine Her is for women in their 30s through 60s who feel like something is “off” – changes in mood, sleep, metabolism, energy, or skin – and are ready for a holistic, physician-led approach that goes deeper than routine labs or symptom management.
