Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) 

Concierge Women’s Hormone Care with Susan B. Poncy, M.D.

Understanding Hormonal Changes in Your 30s and Beyond

Hormonal transitions often begin earlier than many women expect. In your 30s and 40s, subtle shifts in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone may lead to symptoms such as disrupted sleep, anxiety, brain fog, decreased libido, stubborn weight gain, or fatigue that doesn’t improve with diet and exercise.

These changes are common — but they are not insignificant.

Susan B. Poncy, M.D., a board-certified OB/GYN with over 30 years of experience, has cared for women in Jupiter and Palm Beach County since 2000. Her approach to hormonal health is grounded in medical precision, thoughtful evaluation, and individualized care.

What Is Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) uses hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced by the body. When prescribed appropriately and monitored carefully, HRT can help restore hormonal balance during perimenopause, menopause, or other hormonally related conditions.

The objective is not excess — it is balance.

Hormone therapy may support improvements in:

• Sleep quality
• Mood stability
• Cognitive clarity
• Energy levels
• Libido
• Body composition and metabolic regulation
• Treatment decisions are made only after careful assessment of medical history, symptoms, laboratory data, and long-term health goals.

A Comprehensive, Personalized Evaluation

Under Dr. Poncy’s care, hormone therapy begins with a detailed and individualized evaluation that may include:

• Comprehensive symptom review
• Full personal and family medical history
• Targeted laboratory testing
• Cardiovascular and metabolic risk assessment
• Breast and bone health evaluation
• Some women may benefit from low-dose estrogen and progesterone therapy. Others may require testosterone optimization or metabolic support alongside hormone treatment. Ongoing monitoring ensures dosing remains appropriate and aligned with each patient’s evolving needs.

Safety, Experience, and Long-Term Partnership

Hormone therapy is not appropriate for every woman. A careful discussion of risks, benefits, and personal health history is essential before initiating treatment. Dr. Poncy’s decades of OB/GYN experience provide the clinical foundation for informed, balanced decision-making.

For women  who feel that something is “off,” a comprehensive hormone evaluation can provide clarity and direction.
