Polaris Rejuvenation offers women’s hormone consultations in Columbus, Ohio with Dr. David Garcia. Discuss hot flashes, changes in sleep, vaginal dryness, and other concerns during perimenopause or menopause.
Is hormone therapy right for me?
Your symptoms, age, time since menopause, medical history, and preferences help guide the discussion. Hormone therapy can relieve selected menopause symptoms, but it is not suitable for everyone. Nonhormonal options may also be appropriate.
What should I know about risks?
Benefits and risks depend on the medication, dose, route, and your health history. Discuss cancer history, blood clots, stroke, heart disease, unexplained bleeding, and other relevant conditions before treatment.
Are bioidentical hormones safer?
“Bioidentical” does not mean risk-free. Some FDA-approved medicines contain hormones identical to those made by the body. Compounded hormone products are not FDA-approved and are not established as safer or more effective than approved options. Read the FDA’s menopause information.
What happens next?
Review the specific product, alternatives, costs, and follow-up plan. Visit 1070 Polaris Pkwy #110, Columbus, OH 43240, or request a consultation. Call or text (614) 427-9296.

Treatment should address an identified clinical concern. A hormone level alone does not explain every symptom. Review the diagnosis, intended benefit, and alternatives before choosing medication.
Ask which medication is proposed and whether it is FDA-approved or compounded. “Bioidentical” describes molecular structure; it does not establish superior safety or effectiveness.
Follow-up reviews symptoms, side effects, and whether the plan remains appropriate. Testing depends on the condition and medication. Ask when your response will be reassessed and how treatment changes would be made.
Thyroid conditions, sleep problems, medications, mood concerns, and other factors can overlap with menopause symptoms. An evaluation helps avoid attributing every change to hormones.
Nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and stress support are part of overall health care. They can accompany treatment and help you set practical goals without promising that a lifestyle change will correct a hormone disorder.
Testosterone is not a general treatment for fatigue, weight gain, or aging in women. If it is discussed for a specific sexual-health concern, ask about evidence, off-label use, dosing, side effects, and monitoring.
Estrogen therapy can be considered for selected menopause symptoms. Local vaginal treatment and systemic treatment have different purposes and risk profiles. Ask which form is proposed and whether you need endometrial protection.
Growth hormone is not a routine anti-aging treatment. Suspected deficiency requires an appropriate diagnostic evaluation. Growth-hormone-releasing peptides have their own evidence and safety questions and should not be assumed to prevent age-related disease.
Progesterone or a progestogen may be discussed with estrogen treatment, particularly for endometrial protection in women with a uterus. The need, formulation, and schedule depend on the individual plan.
Cortisol-related disorders require appropriate medical evaluation. Fatigue or stress alone does not establish adrenal disease or a need for replacement medication.
Thyroid medication treats a diagnosed thyroid condition. Symptoms, tests, and follow-up guide its use. It should not be promoted as a weight-loss or anti-aging treatment for people without a relevant diagnosis.
DHEA is involved in hormone production. Supplements and prescription formulations have different uses and evidence. Discuss the exact product, interactions, and potential adverse effects rather than assuming supplementation restores vitality.
