Hormone Replacement Doctors Serving Women in Royal Oak & Oakland County with personalized HRT
If you’re navigating the hormonal rollercoaster of hormonal chaos, perimenopause or menopause, and you've been told to just “wait it out,” you're not alone. But deep down, you know something is off, and you deserve real answers that actually make sense.
At Elle MD, we provide personalized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for women across Royal Oak, Oakland County, and nearby cities who are tired of feeling dismissed. We don’t hand you a standard protocol or tell you it’s all in your head. We test thoroughly, listen deeply, and create a plan designed for your body, your timeline, and your goals.
Whether you’re struggling with energy crashes, mood swings, weight gain, or disrupted sleep, our care goes beyond symptom relief. We help your hormones work with you, not against you, so you can feel grounded, resilient, and fully yourself again.
Your health deserves more than a one-size-fits-all hormone plan
Most traditional hormone care treats women like a number. You’re handed a generic prescription without anyone asking about your sleep, stress, lifestyle, or long-term goals.
At Elle MD, we offer personalized hormone replacement therapy tailored to your unique needs and symptoms. Whether you're navigating fatigue, stubborn weight gain, mood changes, or night sweats, we go deeper to understand what’s really driving the hormone imbalance, so we can treat more than just the surface.
Because this stage of life deserves more than patches and pills. It deserves a care plan that honors your whole story and helps you feel like you again.
When your body feels off, but no one’s listening
Maybe you’ve been told your labs are “normal,” but your body tells a different story. Maybe you’re waking up tired, gaining weight despite eating healthy, and crying in the car for no reason. You’re not imagining it.
Hormonal shifts can disrupt every system in your body and when they go unaddressed, it affects your energy, metabolism, sleep, and mood.
At Elle MD, we’re here to help you feel like you again, with clarity, confidence, and a plan that actually makes sense.
The truth about hormone therapy—and why most women are still getting it wrong
Conventional HRT isn’t personalized. Many women are handed synthetic hormones that don’t match their body’s needs, or worse, told their symptoms are “just aging.”
But your journey through perimenopause or menopause isn’t a decline. It’s a transformationand it deserves care that reflects that.
Your symptoms aren’t in your head. They’re rooted in real physiological changes.
Your hormones affect everything from metabolism and sleep to insulin and mood.
You deserve better than outdated studies and one-size-fits-all protocols.

FAQ´s
How do I know if it’s perimenopause or menopause?
Determining whether you’re in perimenopause or menopause can be challenging, as both stages involve hormonal changes and symptoms. Generally, perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, while menopause is confirmed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. A physician like us can help you pinpoint your stage with evaluations and symptom tracking.
Is hormone replacement therapy safe?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is generally considered safe when tailored to an individual’s needs and monitored by a healthcare professional. There are contraindications to hormone replacement and risks vary based on health history, dosage, and duration, so consulting a doctor is essential.
What is the correlation between hormone replacement and weight loss?
HRT can support weight loss by balancing hormones that regulate metabolism, reducing symptoms like fatigue or sluggishness. However, it’s not a standalone weight-loss solution; a healthy diet and lifestyle are also necessary.
What are the types of hormone replacement therapies?
HRT types include estrogen-only, progesterone-only, combined hormone therapy, and bioidentical hormone therapy. Each type targets specific hormonal imbalances and is selected based on individual needs and symptoms.
Do you accept insurance?
We do not accept insurance practice to ensure we can provide personalized, in-depth care without the limitations or constraints imposed by traditional insurance models, allowing us to focus fully on the long-term well-being and success of our patients.
What payment methods do you accept?
