"Reclaiming Wellness—Together"
When I talk about women’s hormone treatment, I often focus on helping women over 40 feel and look their best. But let’s not forget something very important—your partner’s health and energy levels matter, too.
As many of my clients experience improved energy, better sleep, balanced moods, and a reignited libido thanks to bio-identical hormone therapy, it’s common for their partners to struggle to keep up with this new wave of vitality. And that’s when the next question arises:
“Can you help my partner feel better too?”
The answer is yes—absolutely. While Hummingbird Healthcare is primarily focused on women’s wellness, I do welcome the male partners of my clients. If your partner happens to be female, she is, of course, welcome too! What matters most is that you both feel strong, supported, and aligned in your wellness journey.
Honoring Identity and Inclusivity
Before we move forward, I want to acknowledge something important. In this blog, I use she/her to refer to individuals born with ovaries and a uterus and he/him to refer to individuals born with testes. I fully recognize that this binary framework doesn’t capture the full spectrum of gender identity.
There are transgender men who go through menopause and transgender women who may require testosterone replacement. While I am not currently providing treatment for the full range of gender identities, my intention is never to exclude. I simply want to stay within the boundaries of my clinical expertise—while holding space for growth and inclusion in the future.
Women’s Hormone Treatment: Reconnecting with Your Best Self
Let’s talk about the transformation I see every day. Women often come to me tired, moody, overwhelmed, and experiencing symptoms like:
- Night sweats and hot flashes
- Difficulty sleeping
- Decreased libido
- Vaginal dryness or pain during sex
- Weight gain, especially around the midsection
- Fatigue and brain fog
After starting a tailored bio-identical hormone therapy plan, everything begins to shift. They sleep better. Their moods stabilize. They laugh more, feel stronger, and regain the sexual spark they thought was lost.
And then—they look at their partner and wonder, “Is he okay?”
Why Your Partner Might Be Struggling
If your partner is male and seems to be slowing down just as you’re speeding up, it’s likely not in your head. He may be going through andropause, the male version of menopause. This hormonal shift isn’t as widely talked about, but its effects are very real. Symptoms may include:
- Fatigue or decreased motivation
- Lower libido or erectile dysfunction
- Weight gain, especially in the belly
- Loss of muscle mass
- Mood changes or irritability
The root cause? Decreased testosterone levels. Fortunately, this is something we can address—naturally and effectively—with bio-identical hormone therapy.
What Is Bio-identical Hormone Therapy for Men?
Just like women’s hormone treatment can restore vitality, bio-identical testosterone can help men feel better, stronger, and more like themselves. The body’s natural hormone levels can be safely and precisely restored using hormones that are structurally identical to those produced by the body.
Men generally require higher doses than women, but the benefits can be just as impactful. With testosterone replacement, men can experience:
- Increased energy and stamina
- Improved muscle tone and reduced visceral fat
- Better metabolic health and decreased insulin resistance
- Improved libido and sexual performance
- Mental clarity and emotional balance
It’s not just about “fixing” something. It’s about restoring balance and feeling empowered in your own skin again.
Is Bio-identical Hormone Therapy Safe for Men?
This is one of the most common and important questions I get—and I appreciate the opportunity to set the record straight.
Contrary to outdated beliefs, bio-identical testosterone does not cause prostate cancer. In fact, newer research supports its safety and potential protective benefits. That said, we always take a responsible, personalized approach. I run labs, review your medical history, and ensure appropriate screenings before starting any treatment.
Addressing Concerns About Blood Clots
One concern that occasionally comes up is increased red blood cells (hematocrit and hemoglobin). It’s true that testosterone can raise these levels—but that’s not necessarily dangerous. What we don’t see is an increase in platelets, which is what would raise the risk for blood clots.
For example, people living at high altitudes or individuals with COPD naturally have higher hemoglobin to help carry oxygen more efficiently. Their bodies adapt, and it’s often beneficial. Similarly, men on testosterone therapy may see slightly elevated red blood cell counts, but without platelet elevation, this does not indicate clotting risk.
So rest assured—we monitor all of this carefully and prioritize your safety in every phase of your care.
Why Hormone Health is a Shared Experience
Once a woman starts feeling better thanks to women’s hormone treatment, it’s only natural to want the same for your partner. When both people in a relationship are thriving, the connection grows deeper. Physical intimacy returns. Communication improves. Life just feels lighter.
If you’ve reclaimed your energy and passion but your partner is struggling, you don’t have to carry that weight alone. This is a shared journey, and bio-identical hormone therapy can support both of you.
