Comprehensive evaluation and staged hormone care — matched to your labs, your symptoms, and your stage of life.
Medically guided hormone care for women across reproductive, transitional, and midlife stages.
Hormonal health in women is complex and highly interconnected. Shifts in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid signaling, and stress hormones can influence mood, cycles, fertility, energy, sleep, metabolism, cognition, skin, and overall well-being.
At Venture Wellness, women’s hormone care begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation and follows a structured, staged approach designed to support clarity, safety, and long-term results.
We work with women navigating concerns such as PMDD, PCOS, fertility-related hormone dysfunction, perimenopause, and menopause—as well as those who feel “off” despite being told their labs are normal.
Hormone signaling, receptor responsiveness, metabolism, and tissue response all occur on different timelines. Introducing support too quickly—or focusing on a single hormone without context—can lead to incomplete results or unwanted side effects.
That’s why women’s BHRT at Venture Wellness follows a staged care framework, allowing your body time to stabilize before optimizing.
This approach supports:
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones structurally identical to those produced by the human body. When used, they are prescribed thoughtfully, monitored closely, and adjusted based on symptoms—not just lab numbers.
Hormone care at Venture Wellness is not about chasing perfection or suppressing symptoms. It’s about restoring balance, resilience, and quality of life.
For women who benefit from continued care, we offer structured ongoing care plans that support monitoring, education, and long-term hormone health. Ongoing care starts as low as $160 a month, and follow-up visits can be done by video for established patients.
The appropriate level of care is determined after your evaluation and reviewed clearly before moving forward.
With a new patient visit that includes a detailed intake, medical history review, and comprehensive lab evaluation.
No. Many of the women I see are in perimenopause — still cycling, but dealing with sleep disruption, mood changes, or cycle irregularity. Hormone shifts often begin years before periods stop, and evaluating early gives us a clearer baseline to work from.
Sleep and mood often shift within the first few weeks. Energy, libido, and cognitive clarity typically take longer — commonly six to twelve weeks. We monitor your labs and symptoms and fine-tune your dose as you progress. Results vary from person to person.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to what your body produces — estradiol, progesterone, and in some cases testosterone. Traditional HRT has historically used synthetic or animal-derived versions. In my practice I use bioidentical formulations and match the delivery method to your labs, symptoms, and history.
Safety depends on your individual history, which is why we start with a full medical review and comprehensive labs rather than a standard protocol. We go through your personal and family history together, discuss what the current evidence supports, and monitor on an ongoing basis.
Start with a New Patient evaluation — detailed intake, medical history review, and comprehensive lab work, so we have a clear picture before any treatment decisions. From there we build a plan designed to support how you feel now and how you age over the next few decades.

I’ve had a wonderful experience with Dr. Julia Montgomery. From the beginning, she took the time to listen to my concerns and develop a personalized plan focused on helping me feel like myself again. I appreciate how comfortable and supported they make me feel during every appointment. They are responsive to my feedback, genuinely care about how I’m feeling, and are willing to adjust my treatment plan based on my symptoms and progress. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, they work collaboratively with me to find what works best for my body. I’m grateful for their knowledge, compassion, and commitment to helping me improve my overall well-being. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a provider who truly listens and partners with you on your health journey.Posted on Google![]()

I am so thankful that I waa able to recently become a patient at Venture Wellness! Dr. Julia and her assistant Maria are so patient, helpful, informative and easy to talk to. I am 50 years old and have not been feeling like myself for quite some time. I knew hormone changes were taking place but I wasn't sure where to turn. Dr. Julia has helped me get back to feeling like myself again, and in some ways, even better. My brain fog is virtually gone, focus is back, energy has returned and I just overall feel so much better! Maria has been a super help as well making sure my labs are done when they are needed and she has helped me several times when I have required additional assistance with questions and support. I am also working with Venture on a small weight loss journey to get back to where I hope to be and with their help I am seeing steady results. In addition to all of the improvement I have seen with my health I also should acknowledge the depth of information about my health that I have learned from Dr. Julia that had never been reviewed with me in the past with my primary. I cannot recommend this practice enough if you are feeling off and want some help so you can feel like yourself again!Posted on Google![]()

Working on hormone issues with Julia. She is kind, compassionate and very thorough. I tell my friends about her services, as hormone replacement therapy is still widely misunderstood and/or treated. Highly recommend her and her team!Posted on Google![]()
