Bioidentical hormone therapy for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and hormone imbalance. Dr. Lindsey Bailey, DO takes a thorough, evidence-based approach — no cookie-cutter protocols.
Hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, mood changes, low libido, disrupted sleep — these symptoms are common, but they are not something you simply have to endure. They are physiological signals that your hormones have shifted, and they are often very treatable.
Dr. Bailey evaluates the full hormone picture — not just estrogen, but progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and adrenal function — before recommending any treatment. Because hormones don't work in isolation, and neither should your care.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is the general term for replacing hormones that have declined due to menopause or other causes. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are structurally identical to those your body naturally produces — as opposed to synthetic hormones derived from different molecular structures. Dr. Bailey uses bioidentical hormones when HRT is appropriate.
The safety of HRT depends heavily on the type of hormones used, the route of administration, the dose, and the individual patient's health history. The older concerns about HRT were largely based on studies using synthetic progestins and oral conjugated equine estrogens. Bioidentical hormones — particularly transdermal estradiol and micronized progesterone — have a significantly more favorable safety profile. Dr. Bailey takes a conservative, evidence-based approach with careful patient selection and regular monitoring.
Yes. Dr. Bailey manages hormone replacement therapy via telemedicine for patients in Colorado, Arizona, and Nebraska. Lab work is ordered to a local draw site near you, and all consultations and follow-up are conducted via secure video or phone.
No. Perimenopause — the transition leading up to menopause — can begin in the late 30s or early 40s and may last a decade or more. Many women experience significant symptoms during perimenopause that can be meaningfully addressed with hormone therapy. Dr. Bailey evaluates each patient individually and doesn't wait for a formal menopause diagnosis before addressing symptoms.
Yes. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for men is a form of hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Bailey evaluates and treats men with low testosterone as part of PeakLAB's hormone optimization program. See our dedicated Low Testosterone page for more information.
A comprehensive hormone panel including estradiol, progesterone, testosterone (total and free), DHEA-S, thyroid (TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3, antibodies), cortisol, and a full metabolic panel. For complex cases, Dr. Bailey may also recommend DUTCH testing — a dried urine test that maps hormone metabolism in detail.
