Your Hormone Care questions answered
Perimenopause typically begins in your 40s (though it can start earlier) and may include irregular cycles, sleep disruption, mood changes, brain fog, hot flashes, and joint pain. Many symptoms overlap with other conditions, which is why a provider review is helpful. We'll review your history and symptoms to help you understand what's happening.
For most women, HRT can be safe and effective when prescribed appropriately but is not suitable for everyone. While outdated studies raised concerns, current research shows HRT can reduce symptoms and help protect heart, bone, and brain health—especially when started during perimenopause or early menopause. Your provider will review your personal health history, discuss risks and benefits, and help determine if it's right for you.
Our clinicians specialize in perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause—the full
continuum of hormonal change, not just the moment of transition. They're trained to distinguish
between symptoms that respond to hormone therapy and those that need a different approach,
and to factor in your health history, cancer risk, and reproductive background. That specificity
shapes your care plan.
We prescribe a range of options tailored to your symptoms and health history, including birth
control, vaginal estrogen, estrogen-only therapy, and combined estrogen and progesterone
(prescribed separately so your clinician can dial in each dose). For women who prefer or aren't
candidates for hormonal treatment, we also prescribe non-hormonal options including
SSRIs/SNRIs, gabapentin, and medications for incontinence. Your provider will recommend
what fits.
No. Maven’s Hormone Care is personalized. If HRT isn’t appropriate or preferred, your provider will discuss alternative treatment options and lifestyle recommendations.
Your $150 one-time fee includes two 20-minute 1:1 consultations and up to 20 secure chat messages with a menopause-trained clinician, lifestyle and nutrition guidance, and a tailored care plan that addresses both immediate symptoms and long-term health.
If prescribed, medications like HRT or birth control are billed separately through your pharmacy and may be covered by insurance, depending on your plan.
The one-time fee isn’t covered by insurance, but your hormone therapy medications may be.
We can help you understand potential coverage, which is determined by your plan. Your
prescriptions are sent to your preferred pharmacy, where coverage is processed accordingly.
Yes. Treatment options differ slightly depending on whether you have a uterus, but HRT may still be an option. Your provider can recommend the right formulation for you.
Your provider can review your current treatment, adjust your dosing or formulation, and optimize your plan. Many women aren't on the right dose or delivery method for their needs.
Virtual visits are designed for consultation and follow-up guidance. If in-person care or additional testing is needed, your provider will help direct you appropriately.
