Join the women's groupRead the journalWhat is HRT?Hormone fluctuations are part of every woman’s life; from puberty to menopause, hormones spike and wane. As women enter the menopause transition in their late 30s and early 40s, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone begin to steadily decline, creating challenging symptoms.There are over 100 symptoms associated with declining hormones in the menopause transition, some of the most common including hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a prescription treatment used to boost hormone levels, by replenishing the estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone that diminish over time. At Winona, we only use plant-based, bioidentical hormones that are identical in molecular structure to those made naturally in your body.If you’re feeling overwhelmed by menopause symptoms, you’re not alone. Winona’s board-certified physicians are available to listen to your concerns and design a personalized HRT plan just for you. Read all about HRT. What is

Around 2022, I began to get hot flashes. I experienced them for about three weeks, then they disappeared. At that time, I was getting them once or twice a day. In 2024, they came back in full force; with all the fun extras (night sweats, fatigue, hot flashes, and brain fog). I was having 10-12 hot flashes a day, some of them lasting up to two minutes each. I was waking up every night between 2am-4am sweating profusely. I bought everything I could to try to help; "cold" sheets and pillow cases, ice fans, etc. I already had a mattress ac unit. Nothing helped. Not to mention, I thought I was losing my mind. I was forgetful, couldn't concentrate, and felt downright terrible. It was affecting my social and family life. That's when I went online and did research, and found Winona. After their quiz, it was recommended that I use the 50/50 cream and DHEA. The treatment is expensive, especially with not being able to use insurance. But it was a price I was willing to pay to get relief. It took about two weeks to get- no biggie. I'm not sure why, but when I originally received it, I was scared to try it, afraid of what it might do to me being a hormone replacement. After a week, I began the treatment. The DHEA is just a small pill-easy to swallow (I took it in the morning). The cream (used before bed) is thick, and almost unscented. I'm very sensitive to scents and get migraines. The scent never bothered me. I apply it to my wrists, so that I don't have to use my hands. It does take a little longer than the recommended 10-15 seconds to rub in all the way. Even after about 10 minutes, it's still not fully absorbed and slightly "tacky" when I get in bed. I just put my hands on top of the sheets, instead of under them. Ladies! I kid you not, after THREE days, I was already experiencing relief. My hot flashes were decreasing significantly. After one month, I was completely free of hot flashes and night sweats, and thankfully my PCP prescribed sleeping meds while I transitioned. I was truly happy... Until I wasn't. I didn't feel like me anymore. I was so depressed and sad. After conversations with my doctor, we felt that maybe the DHEA pills were affecting my anti-depressant medicine. I'm on Bupropion XL (300mg). On my next refill, I reached out to Winona to address my concerns. The doctor was pretty slow to respond. I actually had to reach out a couple of times to get a response. Once I did, another doctor agreed that I should definitely stop the DHEA. So, I did, and it made a world of difference. I'm beginning to feel better again. All in all, I am so thankful to find this company. The cream has changed my life. I don't know how women live day to day experiencing what I experienced. I'm not sure if you eventually get used to the cream and it stops working, but I'm going to love it while I can. And don't be scared, like I was. The worst that can happen is you get your life back :)

Winona has been a biggest change in my life this year! I feel back to “normal”, like I used to feel in my 20s. Thankful for the upgrade to my daily life!
