If you've had one, there's no mistaking it: the sudden, intense, hot feeling on your face and upper body, perhaps preceded or accompanied by a rapid heartbeat and sweating, nausea, dizziness, anxiety, headache, weakness, or a feeling of suffocation. The flash is followed by a flush, leaving you reddened and perspiring.


Hot flashes are usually caused by the hormonal changes of menopause but can also be affected by lifestyle and medications. A diminished level of estrogen has a direct effect on the hypothalamus – the part of the brain responsible for controlling your appetite, sleep cycles, sex hormones, and body temperature.  

At our Center, we check the level of all your hormones and use only natural, bio-identical hormones to eliminate your hot flashes and night sweats; we do not use anti-depressant medications or synthetic hormones.   

"Write a testimonial? You bet I'll write one! I'm 48 years old and I never wanted to take any hormones because of everything I had heard the last few years. then I started having hot flashes every night and sometimes during the day --gradually at first--then they became regular.

My older sister told me I was going into "the change," and that I needed some hormones.

I started asking around and was referred to The Center for Hormone Therapy. He found out that I was low in estrogen. In less than one week on the new kind of healthy hormones--no more hot flashes! It was so simple! "
