Your Body Is Changing.
You Deserve Answers—Not Dismissal.
Changes in your cycle, sleep, mood, weight, energy, sexual wellness, and overall sense of well-being can affect every part of your life.
Balm Her™ provides personalized, clinician-led care for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, hormonal concerns, metabolic changes, and other midlife wellness needs.
We look beyond one symptom to understand the whole picture.
Completing an assessment does not guarantee hormone therapy, medication, or any particular treatment. Recommendations are made following an individualized clinical evaluation.
I Just Don't Feel Like Myself Anymore.
Many women begin noticing changes before they realize perimenopause or another health concern may be involved. You may be experiencing:
Weight gain despite eating the same way
Mood changes
Low energy
Lower libido
Hair thinning
Reduced confidence
Difficulty sleeping
Increased anxiety or irritability
Brain fog
Changes in your menstrual cycle
Vaginal dryness or discomfort
Changes in skin
These Symptoms Are Real.
But they should not automatically be blamed on hormones without a thoughtful medical evaluation.
At Balm Her™, we consider hormonal, metabolic, physical, emotional, medication-related, and lifestyle factors that may be affecting how you feel.
Perimenopause Can Begin Earlier Than Many Women Expect
Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause. During this time, hormone levels may fluctuate, menstrual cycles may become less predictable, and new physical or emotional symptoms may begin.
Some women experience only mild changes. Others notice symptoms that significantly affect work, sleep, relationships, confidence, and quality of life.
Perimenopause may begin several years before a woman's final menstrual period. A woman does not need to wait until her periods completely stop before seeking care.
You can still have regular periods and experience symptoms associated with the menopausal transition.
Menopause Is a New Health Stage—Not The End Of Wellness
Menopause is generally recognized after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, when there is no other medical explanation.
The transition can affect more than reproductive health. Changes may involve:
Sleep
Bone health
Weight and body composition
Vaginal and urinary symptoms
Metabolic health
Mood
Cardiovascular risk
Sexual wellness
Energy
Overall quality of life
Balm Her™ is designed to help women navigate this stage with information, individualized care, and realistic treatment options.
Women's Wellness Is More Than Hormones
Your symptoms may have more than one cause. Our goal is to evaluate the concerns that matter most to you and determine the next appropriate step.
01
Perimenopause & Menopause
Evaluation and support for symptoms associated with the menopausal transition.
02
Hormonal Concerns
Review of symptoms, history, medications, risk factors, and testing when clinically appropriate.
03
Weight & Metabolic Health
Support for weight changes, insulin resistance, metabolic risk factors, and body-composition concerns.
04
Sleep & Fatigue
Evaluation of sleep disruption, night sweats, low energy, and possible contributing factors.
Your Symptoms Deserve to Be Taken Seriously
Depending on your health history and stage of life, you may seek care for:
Hot flashes
Heavier or lighter menstrual bleeding
Fatigue
Brain fog
Irritability
Vaginal dryness
Headaches
Skin changes
Night sweats
Missed periods
Weight gain
Memory or concentration concerns
Low mood
Painful intercourse
Joint discomfort
Reduced motivation
Irregular periods
Trouble falling or staying asleep
Increased abdominal weight
Anxiety
Changes in libido
Urinary symptoms
Hair thinning
Feeling unlike yourself
Not Every Symptom Is Caused By Menopause or Hormones.
Your provider may consider other possible contributors, such as thyroid concerns, medication effects, sleep disorders, nutritional deficiencies, mental-health conditions, metabolic changes, gynecologic concerns, or other medical conditions.
You Should Not Have to Keep Hearing, “That's Just Part of Getting Older.”
Many women spend months or years trying to manage symptoms on their own. They may be told:
Their laboratory results are normal
They need to lose weight
Their concerns are just part of aging
Their symptoms are simply stress
They should sleep more
Their symptoms are not severe enough for treatment
But symptoms can affect your life even when they do not fit neatly into one diagnosis.
Balm Her™ is built around listening carefully, reviewing the full clinical picture, and discussing reasonable options without dismissing your experience.
Your First Visit Is About Understanding The Whole You
Your clinician may review:
Current symptoms
Reproductive history
Age at symptom onset
Previous hormone use
Family history
Cardiovascular risk factors
Migraine history
Mood
Cardiovascular risk factors
Pregnancy history
Current medications and supplements
Personal medical history
Breast and gynecologic history
Blood-clotting history
Migraine history
Mood
Laboratory testing may be recommended when clinically appropriate, but treatment decisions are not always based on a single hormone level.
Testing Is Personalized—Not Automatically The Same For Every Woman
Depending on your symptoms, history, age, and treatment plan, your clinician may consider laboratory testing or review previous results. Testing may help evaluate:
Hormonal factors when clinically relevant
Metabolic health
Nutritional concerns
Other possible causes of symptoms
Thyroid function
Blood sugar
Liver or kidney health
Blood count
Cholesterol
Hormone levels can fluctuate significantly during perimenopause. A single laboratory result may not fully explain how a woman feels.
Your clinician will interpret results in the context of symptoms, history, and overall health.
Your Care Plan May Include More Than One Approach
Treatment depends on your symptoms, health history, risk factors, preferences, and goals. Your plan may include:
Lifestyle and nutrition strategies
Mental-wellness support
Vaginal or genitourinary treatment
Referral for gynecologic or specialty evaluation
Sleep support
Non-hormonal treatment options
Medication adjustments
Preventive-health recommendations
Hormone therapy is one possible treatment option—not the only option and not appropriate for every woman.
Is Hormone Therapy Right for You?
Some women may benefit from hormone therapy for appropriate symptoms and indications. Before recommending treatment, the clinician may review:
Age
Severity of symptoms
Breast-health history
Cardiovascular risk
Liver history
Current medications
Previous response to treatment
Menopause stage
Personal and family medical history
Gynecologic history
Blood-clot risk
The type, dose, and route of therapy—if prescribed—should be individualized.
Weight Changes During Midlife Are Not Always About Willpower
Many women notice changes in appetite, body composition, abdominal weight, energy, or their response to previous diet and exercise routines during midlife. Factors may include:
Hormonal transition
Sleep disruption
Medication effects
Changes in physical activity
Reduced muscle mass
Stress
Insulin resistance
Mental-health concerns
Hormones, Mood, Sleep, and Stress Can Interact
Some women experience anxiety, irritability, low mood, emotional sensitivity, sleep disruption, or difficulty concentrating during the menopausal transition. These symptoms deserve appropriate evaluation.
Not every mood concern is caused by hormones, and not every woman needs psychiatric medication. But mental wellness should not be ignored as part of whole-person care.
Because Balm of Gilead integrates physical and mental healthcare, women can be referred to Balm Mind™ when psychiatric evaluation or medication management may be appropriate.
Balm Her™ can coordinate with Balm Metabolic™ when a woman may benefit from a more complete weight and metabolic-health evaluation.
Changes in Sexual Wellness Are Common—but You Don't Have to Stay Silent
Women may experience:
Lower desire
Discomfort during intimacy
Changes in sensation
Recurrent irritation
Vaginal dryness
Reduced arousal
Urinary symptoms
Changes in confidence or body image
These concerns can affect relationships, emotional well-being, and quality of life. Your clinician can help assess possible hormonal, medical, medication-related, emotional, and relationship factors and discuss appropriate options.

New breast concerns
Severe headache or neurologic symptoms
Chest pain or shortness of breath
Symptoms of a blood clot

The cause of symptoms
Menopause stage

Mental wellness
Medical history
Stress
Treatment consistency
Other health conditions

Yes. These concerns may be evaluated as part of women’s wellness, and eligible patients may also be referred to Balm Mind™.

There may be treatment options depending on the cause, history, risks, and clinical evaluation.
