Women's health
Six symptoms. Maybe not six separate problems.
Sleep that broke without warning. A body that changed while your habits didn’t. Desire that quietly went somewhere else. Most women are told to solve each of these on its own.
Embrace starts with a different question: what changed, and is any of it connected? A licensed clinician reviews the whole picture before deciding whether prescription treatment belongs in the plan at all.
Start My EvaluationPrescription required. A licensed clinician determines what is medically appropriate for you.
In short
EmbraceHealth.ai offers two women's health pathways online, each beginning with a private evaluation by a licensed clinician. For menopause and perimenopause, a clinician reviews symptoms such as night sweats, disrupted sleep, changing cycles and mood changes alongside your medical history and risk factors, and may prescribe estradiol from $79 per month or progesterone from $49 per month when clinically appropriate; systemic estrogen is considered the most effective treatment for bothersome hot flashes and night sweats, and women with a uterus using systemic estrogen generally also need a progestogen. For low sexual desire and intimacy, a clinician evaluates what changed and may consider PT-141 from $199 per month or compounded oxytocin nasal spray from $129 per month. Hormone therapy is not appropriate for everyone, compounded medications are not FDA approved, and no medication is prescribed automatically.
Something changed, and nobody connected the dots
It rarely arrives with a label.
You wake up at 3 a.m.
Your periods change.
You’re hot when everyone else is fine.
Your patience disappears.
You walk into a room and forget why you went there. Your body changes even though your habits haven’t. Sex feels different. Your energy isn’t what it used to be.
And because each symptom looks unrelated, you try to solve each one separately. A sleep supplement. A diet. More cardio. Lubricant. A meditation app. Another cup of coffee. Another appointment. Another explanation that doesn’t quite explain why everything seemed to change at once.
One symptom is easy to dismiss.
Six appearing around the same time are harder to ignore.
That does not mean menopause causes every symptom a woman develops after 40, and it does not mean a prescription is the answer. It means the possibility deserves a proper evaluation instead of an expensive collection of Band-Aids.
Not another “balance your hormones” clinic
Most women’s health marketing still makes you choose between a pharmacy checkout and a fifteen-minute appointment where you try to explain six symptoms at once.
Here is what we are deliberately not promising.
- Lose your menopause belly with estrogen
- Reverse aging
- Fix your brain forever
- Get your libido back overnight
- Balance your hormones and become yourself again in seven days
- Spray this and fall back in love
Those claims sound good. They also turn complicated medicine into internet marketing. Hormone therapy has established indications and is highly effective for bothersome hot flashes and night sweats — and it also has risks and is not a treatment for every age-related complaint. The Menopause Society specifically cautions against promoting hormone therapy as treatment for aging, routine weight gain or hair loss.
We would rather earn your trust than borrow it from exaggerated promises.
Where would you like to start?
Two pathways, each with its own evaluation. Tell your clinician about both if both apply — they overlap more often than most women expect.
Menopause & perimenopause
Wide awake at 3 a.m. Again.
Your body is exhausted. Your brain apparently didn’t get the message. You fall asleep, then 2:47 happens. Maybe you’re hot. Maybe your heart is racing. Maybe nothing obvious happened at all. And you already know exactly how tomorrow is going to feel.
You have probably already tried to fix the sleep. Less caffeine, magnesium, an earlier bedtime, a cooler thermostat, melatonin, the expensive pillow. Most sleep solutions start by assuming sleep itself is the problem. For some women in perimenopause and menopause, it isn’t that simple — hormone levels fluctuate during the transition, and night sweats can repeatedly interrupt sleep.
Embrace does not start with “take hormones.” It starts with what changed: your symptoms, your cycle, your medical history, your medications, your personal and family risk factors, and what you have already tried. If treatment is appropriate, a clinician determines which therapy, dose and route make sense.

Low desire & intimacy
I love my partner. I just don’t want sex like I used to.
You don’t necessarily want more sex. You want to want it again. You want attraction to feel like attraction, touch to feel like touch, and intimacy to stop feeling like something you have to remember to do.
That is what makes low desire so frustrating. You can love your partner, still find them attractive, still enjoy being close to them — and still notice that something changed. Then your partner notices, and the questions start, and you don’t have a good answer. Because sometimes you don’t know either.
Low desire does not have one cause. A romantic dinner cannot diagnose medication-related sexual effects. A vacation cannot identify a hormonal issue. So the evaluation looks at when the change started, whether desire is low generally or only in certain situations, your medications, hormonal factors, pain, stress, mental health, relationship factors and your cardiovascular history — then determines whether prescription treatment is appropriate at all.

How it works
The same three steps whichever pathway brought you here.
Tell us what actually changed
Complete a private online intake. Symptoms, timeline, menstrual history, medications, what you have already tried and how you responded. Not just “are you having hot flashes?”
A licensed clinician reviews it
Your clinician determines whether additional information or evaluation is needed and whether prescription treatment may be appropriate. Hormones are an option, not a foregone conclusion.
A plan you can revisit
If treatment is prescribed, your clinician determines medication, dose, route and follow-up. Symptoms and treatment needs change, so the plan should be reassessed rather than disappearing into a medicine cabinet.
Completing an intake does not guarantee that a prescription will be issued.
“I’ve already tried everything.”
Maybe you have. But there is a difference between trying everything for insomnia and evaluating whether menopause symptoms are contributing to your insomnia.
Melatonin doesn’t evaluate perimenopause. A cooling blanket doesn’t evaluate perimenopause. An expensive mattress definitely doesn’t evaluate perimenopause.
If you have tried better sleep habits, supplements and temperature changes without ever understanding why you started waking up in the first place, you may not have exhausted your options. You may have been solving the wrong problem.
“My doctor said my labs were normal.”
A lab result is part of healthcare. It is not automatically the entire story.
Normal labs do not explain why you are waking up at 3 a.m., and being 39, 42 or 47 does not by itself prove menopause is responsible. Perimenopause involves changing ovarian function, and symptoms and menstrual patterns matter clinically.
The point of an evaluation is to consider the whole picture rather than treating one number as the answer. Your clinician determines what further evaluation, if any, is appropriate.
“Aren’t hormones dangerous?”
Hormone therapy has risks. Anyone telling you otherwise is oversimplifying the medicine. But “hormones are dangerous” is also too simple.
Risk varies with age, time since menopause, medical history, medication type, route, and whether estrogen is used alone or with a progestogen. Systemic hormone therapy is generally not recommended for certain women, including some with histories of breast or endometrial cancer, stroke, heart attack, blood clots or liver disease.
That is exactly why the answer comes from a clinician who has your history rather than from a product page, a forum or a video.
Common questions
What women’s health conditions does Embrace treat?
Two pathways today. Menopause and perimenopause care, where a clinician evaluates symptoms such as night sweats, disrupted sleep and changing cycles and determines whether hormone therapy is appropriate. And low sexual desire and intimacy, where a clinician evaluates what changed and whether a prescription option such as PT-141 or compounded oxytocin belongs in the plan.
Do I have to have stopped having periods to be evaluated?
No. Perimenopause happens before menopause, and hormonal and menstrual changes can begin years before the final menstrual period. If symptoms are affecting your quality of life, you do not need to wait until an arbitrary birthday to ask about them.
Will I automatically be prescribed hormones?
No. Hormone therapy is not appropriate for everyone, and not every symptom that appears after 40 is caused by menopause. The outcome of a responsible evaluation can be yes, no, not yet, or we should look into something else first.
Is a prescription required?
Yes, for every treatment discussed here. A licensed clinician reviews your information and determines what is medically appropriate. Completing an intake does not guarantee that any medication will be prescribed.
What if more than one of these applies to me?
They overlap more often than most women expect. Sleep disruption, hormonal change, mood, pain, medications and relationship factors can all influence sexual desire, and menopause symptoms and low desire frequently appear together. Raise all of it during your intake so the clinician can see the pattern rather than one symptom at a time.
Is the evaluation private?
Yes. The intake is written rather than a conversation in a waiting room, your health information is handled according to applicable privacy requirements, and medication ships discreetly where fulfillment is offered.
Your sleep changed. What else changed?
You can keep buying another thing for tonight. Another supplement, another sleep aid, another workaround for a symptom nobody has connected to anything.
Or you can find out whether there is a reason this keeps happening — and whether treatment belongs in the plan at all.
Start My EvaluationAnother year of saying “maybe it’ll get better on its own” is a treatment decision too. Private online evaluation, licensed clinician review, prescription treatment only when medically appropriate.
Important medical information
Prescription medications are available only following evaluation by a licensed healthcare professional who determines that treatment is medically appropriate. Completing an intake does not guarantee that a prescription will be issued. Individual treatment response varies and no specific outcome, symptom resolution or timeline is guaranteed.
Menopausal hormone therapy has potential benefits, risks, contraindications and side effects. Treatment decisions should be individualized based on symptoms, age, medical history, time since menopause, uterus status, medications, risk factors and patient preferences. Women with a uterus who use systemic estrogen generally require adequate endometrial protection with a progestogen.
Sleep disturbance, anxiety, mood changes, cognitive complaints, weight changes, sexual concerns and other symptoms may have causes unrelated to perimenopause or menopause. Embrace does not represent that hormone therapy will treat every symptom described on this page.
Compounded medications are not FDA approved and are not reviewed by FDA for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality before marketing in the same manner as FDA-approved drugs. Compounded intranasal oxytocin is not FDA approved for treating low sexual desire, increasing arousal, creating pair bonds or repairing relationships, and published human evidence in this area remains limited and mixed.
New, persistent or unexplained vaginal bleeding should be medically evaluated. Do not assume abnormal bleeding is caused by perimenopause or hormone therapy. Telehealth care is not emergency care — seek immediate medical attention for chest pain, severe shortness of breath, signs of stroke, severe allergic reaction or other medical emergencies.
