At MHB, we’re committed to serving the unique needs of all our patients, including the many women who entrust us with their medical care. Our mission is to provide world-class treatment designed to improve health and vitality, rejuvenate sexual wellness, and enhance overall quality of life, because every woman deserves the chance to thrive. That’s why we’ve created a robust suite of services specifically tailored to the needs and concerns of our female patients.
Fatigue, mood swings, sleepless nights, and lost libido are often signs that your hormones need attention. At MHB, we're experts in helping women identify and treat hormonal imbalances, restoring the balance your body needs to function at its best.
We hear this from so many women who walk through our doors. Perhaps you recognize yourself in some of these experiences:
Our providers at MHB are experts in hormonal rebalance. We regularly screen and treat patients for deficiencies using comprehensive blood testing. If you are dealing with any of the symptoms above, don’t suffer in silence
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones your body naturally produces: estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. They're used to treat symptoms of menopause and hormonal imbalance.
Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are derived from natural plant sources, specifically yams. Because they're molecularly identical to your own hormones, your body recognizes and processes them just as it would the hormones it made on its own.
Many conventional practitioners aren't trained in bioidentical hormone therapy, or they may still rely on outdated research. At MHB, hormone optimization is our specialty. We stay current with the latest research and have years of experience helping women navigate this journey successfully.
While compounded bioidentical hormones aren't FDA approved, it’s not for the reasons you might think. Rather than a safety issue, it’s more about individualization and dosing.
Every woman's body absorbs and metabolizes hormones differently based on her unique metabolism, body composition, and health history. The FDA approval process requires standardized dosing, but with hormone therapy, one size definitely does not fit all. The individual ingredients we use, estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, are all FDA-approved in single-agent commercial products. We're simply customizing the combination and dosing to match your specific needs.

Testosterone plays a vital role in women's energy, libido, and muscle and bone health, yet it's one of the most overlooked hormones in women's care. Levels begin declining as early as the 30s, and by menopause, many women are running on empty without ever knowing why.
Low testosterone can manifest as persistent fatigue and a loss of drive, a libido that has quietly faded, and a gradual decline in muscle tone and bone strength that makes staying active feel like an uphill battle. At MHB, we test and optimize testosterone as part of every comprehensive BHRT plan, so nothing gets missed and nothing gets left untreated.
This is understandably one of the biggest concerns women have about hormone therapy. Here's what the research shows:
The type of progesterone you use makes a big difference. The bioidentical progesterone we prescribe at MHB has a much better safety profile than the synthetic version (called Provera) that was used in the studies that scared everyone back in 2002. In fact, some research shows no increase in breast cancer risk at all when bioidentical estrogen and progesterone are used together.
At MHB, we'll look at your personal risk factors, including your family history, your breast density, and your overall health, and have an honest conversation about what makes sense for you specifically. We monitor you carefully throughout treatment and adjust our approach as needed.
Despite the reassuring evidence, we always recommend routine follow-up with your GYN or PCP for routine testing such as PAP smears and mammograms.
Peptides are an exciting new treatment option aimed at optimizing the body’s natural hormone production systems. While hormone pellets are one of the most commonly targeted therapies for women who are out of balance and can directly replace deficient hormones in the blood, peptides instead act as “signals” to tell your body to produce more hormones on its own.
There are many benefits attributed to peptide therapy, including:
Peptides are prescribed through an affordable program where medications are shipped directly to your home.
Learn More About Peptide TherapyAt MHB, we believe in taking a holistic approach to all of our patient care. In addition to hormonal balance, we help patients focus on improving their nutrition, exercise, and sleep habits, which are all pillars of preventive medicine.
Lifestyle stress and chronic dieting can significantly disrupt body hormones and lead to poor digestion, fatigue, and weight gain. Many patients come to us stuck in this cycle of restrictive food rules, “cheating”, guilt, and frustration. We help them break out of this fixed mindset and repair their relationship with food. We can help you address:
Understanding how your body burns fuel is one of the most powerful tools we have for optimizing your health. PNOĒ is a clinical-grade breath analysis test that measures your metabolism at rest and during exercise, revealing exactly how your body uses oxygen, burns calories, and responds to physical exertion. With this data, we can fine-tune your nutrition, exercise, and hormone optimization plans with a level of precision that guesswork simply can't match.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States. Yet many women don't realize they're at risk until it's too late.
At MHB, prevention is our priority. Under the care of Harvard-trained cardiologist Dr. Evan Appelbaum, we offer comprehensive cardiac care designed specifically for women's unique cardiovascular needs.
Schedule an AppointmentBefore menopause, your hormones offer significant cardiovascular protection. After menopause, that protection diminishes, and your risk begins to climb. This is why we emphasize early screening and proactive management, which can catch problems when they're small and easiest to address. Every woman's program begins with a thorough evaluation, including:
Cardiac stress testing allows us to see how your heart responds to physical exertion in a safe, controlled environment. This helps us design exercise programs tailored to your fitness level while identifying any concerning patterns early.
Cardiac and vascular ultrasound provides real-time imaging of your heart and blood vessels, allowing us to detect plaques, calcifications, or structural issues before they become problems.
Schedule an AppointmentManaging risk starts with controlling the factors that contribute to further development of cardiac issues. Two of those primary contributors are blood pressure and cholesterol. At MHB, we take an “all-hands-on-deck” approach, supporting our patients with targeted prescription medications and routine monitoring as well as intensive nutrition and lifestyle therapy, so that you can feel empowered to make choices that support your health goals.
Does your heart sometimes feel like it's skipping beats, fluttering, or racing? These sensations can be frightening, especially when they happen unexpectedly.
Signs you should get evaluated:
We use proven diagnostic tools including EKG, stress testing, and wearable heart monitors, which you can use at home to capture what's happening during your daily activities. Once we understand your specific situation, we'll create a management plan that brings you peace of mind and protection.

While we believe in a "food first" approach, we also recognize that strategic supplementation can play an important role in supporting your health, particularly for cardiovascular protection, brain health, and reducing inflammation.
We partner exclusively with Ortho Molecular, a pharmaceutical-grade supplement company that meets the highest quality standards. No fillers, no questionable ingredients, just pure, highly absorbable nutrients. For our female patients, we most commonly recommend:
Osteoporosis often develops silently over the years, only announcing itself through a devastating fracture. As estrogen declines after menopause, bones lose density rapidly—making prevention crucial. We utilize DXA scanning, the gold standard for bone density assessment, to:
This screening is covered by insurance annually for women over 65 or younger women with risk factors. Don't wait for a fracture to discover you have osteoporosis.
Your bathroom scale tells you only part of the story. Body composition, which is the ratio of muscle to fat in your body, is a far more meaningful indicator of metabolic health and disease risk. Our DXA technology provides a detailed map of your body, showing:
This information is invaluable for tracking real progress, especially when the scale isn't moving, but your body is changing for the better.

The way you look affects the way you feel, and feeling confident in your appearance is part of whole-person wellness. At MHB, we offer cosmetic Botox treatments administered by experienced medical professionals in a safe, clinical setting.
Botox works by temporarily relaxing the small facial muscles responsible for repetitive expressions, smoothing the lines and wrinkles that form over time. Results are subtle, natural-looking, and remarkably effective.
At MHB, we believe in enhancement, not transformation. Our goal is to help you look like a well-rested, vibrant version of yourself, not someone different.
Urinary incontinence affects millions of women, yet many suffer in silence, believing it's just "part of getting older" or an inevitable consequence of childbirth. It doesn't have to be.
