Expert-led care that listens first, treats the whole picture, and meets you exactly where you are, from perimenopause to post-menopause and everything in between.
“Normal” Labs Don’t Mean You Feel Normal
When hormones fall out of balance, the impact can be profound: hot flashes, fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, hair loss, painful cycles, and loss of desire are just some of the symptoms women face.
Yet too often, women are dismissed or mismanaged. They are told their labs are “normal” even when they don’t feel normal at all, or given cookie-cutter prescriptions that ignore their unique needs. For women with PCOS, endometriosis, or thyroid issues, treatment can be even more confusing.
At Recess Rx, we don’t just “replace” hormones. We optimize them. Guided by Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner Katie Gaston, WHNP-BC, we help women of all ages find balance through personalized, evidence-based care.
Whether you’re going through perimenopause, menopause, or just don’t feel like yourself, you’ll receive treatment built around your story, your goals, and your values.
That’s the Recess Rx Difference.
