Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) with Dr. Jessica Edwards

Expert, Personalized Care for Women in Midlife and Beyond

Reclaim Balance, Vitality, and Confidence

Navigating the transition from perimenopause to postmenopause can be a time of deep transformation—physically, emotionally, and mentally. At Obsidian for Women, we understand that no two women experience menopause the same way. That’s why we offer a highly personalized, expert-guided approach to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)—designed to help you feel like yourself again.

Whether you’re struggling with hot flashes, mood changes, disrupted sleep, low libido, or fatigue, you deserve care that takes your symptoms seriously and treats you holistically.

A Customized Approach to Hormonal Wellness

Jessica Edwards, M.D. is a gynecologist, board certified by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, with a specialization in women’s hormonal health. She is an advocate for HRT when appropriate, believing that every woman deserves the right to understand her options and make empowered choices about her body.

At Obsidian, you receive:

• Longer, unhurried appointments with the same physician to discuss your full health picture.
• A tailored plan based on your history, symptoms, lab analysis and preferences.
• Follow-through and support, adjusting treatment over time as your health and wellness change.

You are not just handed a prescription—you are offered a partnership with a dedicated specialist.

Who Is HRT For?

Hormone Replacement Therapy may be beneficial for women:

• In perimenopause, experiencing irregular cycles, mood swings, or worsening PMS.
• In menopause or postmenopause, coping with hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, or bone loss.
• Experiencing low libido, pain with intimacy, or sexual dissatisfaction.
• Struggling with brain fog, fatigue, or poor sleep.
• With a history of surgical menopause or premature ovarian insufficiency.

HRT isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about improving quality of life, preserving bone and heart health, and supporting cognitive wellness as you age.

Understanding Your HRT Options

Dr. Edwards offers the full spectrum of HRT solutions, which may include:

Bioidentical Hormones

Structurally identical to the hormones your body produces. Bioidentical options are popular for their compatibility and are available in various forms.

Transdermal Patches & Topicals

Patches, creams, and gels offer consistent delivery and are often preferred for women seeking non-oral options that avoid liver metabolism.

Oral Hormones

Pills remain a convenient and effective method for some women, particularly when paired with the right type and dosage.

Dr. Edwards carefully matches each woman with the most appropriate formulation based on her medical history, lifestyle, and comfort level.

Non-hormonal Medical Therapy

Not all women will choose HRT based on their personal assessment of risk. Some women may not be good candidates for HRT due to certain risk factors and medical comorbidities. Fortunately, medical treatments other than hormones can help many of these women deal with the symptoms of perimenopause/menopause. 

Lifestyle Modifications

Nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress management all play a role in the holistic approach Dr. Edwards takes when treating women with hormone abnormalities. In some cases, lifestyle modifications may be all that is needed to treat mild symptoms. In others, they go hand in hand with safe and effective hormone therapy. 

Is HRT Safe?

This is one of the most common—and understandable—questions. The short answer: For most healthy women under age 60 or within ten years of menopause, HRT is considered safe and effective when properly prescribed.

Dr. Edwards is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. 

She stays current with the latest research and guidelines from trusted organizations like:

• The Menopause Society (formerly NAMS)
• The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)
• Endocrine Society

She’ll walk you through the real risks and benefits based on your personal medical history—not fear-based headlines or outdated studies. Concerns around breast cancer, blood clots, and heart disease are always addressed with clarity and compassion.

A Concierge Model Built for You

Unlike traditional medical practices, Dr. Edwards’ concierge model means longer, more comprehensive appointments and more access to your physician. This allows for:

• Direct communication via phone or email
• Deep-dive evaluations, not 15-minute checklists
• Flexible telehealth appointments
• A true patient-physician relationship

It’s care the way it should be: Personal. Preventive. Empowering.

Beyond Hormones: Whole-Woman Wellness

Hormones are powerful—but they’re just one piece of the puzzle. Dr. Edwards takes a holistic view of your health, integrating support for:

• Sexual function and intimacy
• Weight and metabolism
• Stress management
• Sleep optimization
• Gut and cardiovascular health

You’ll never be told “this is just part of aging.” Instead, you’ll be given tools and options that work for your life and personal goals.
