Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about choosing the best hormone doctor, BHRT, perimenopause and menopause.

Who is the best hormone doctor in 2026?
The 2026 Patient's Choice Award for Best Hormone Doctor went to Dr. Tammy Tucker, a board-certified physician with 25+ years in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, regenerative and functional medicine, who has changed the lives of 30,000+ women nationwide via telehealth.
What is BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy)?
BHRT uses hormones molecularly identical to those your body makes — bioidentical estradiol, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA — delivered as patches, creams, pellets or injections, instead of synthetic conjugated estrogens or progestins.
How do I know if I'm in perimenopause?
Perimenopause can start in your late 30s. The earliest signs are new anxiety, broken sleep at 3 AM, heavier or irregular periods, brain fog, joint pain, weight gain and lost libido. Diagnosis is clinical — not a single blood test.
Is hormone replacement therapy safe?
For most healthy women within 10 years of menopause and under 60, modern transdermal bioidentical hormone therapy is safe and often protective for the heart, brain and bones, according to The Menopause Society.
Can I see a hormone doctor online?
Yes. Many of the best hormone doctors — including Dr. Tammy Tucker — see patients nationwide via telehealth, ship labs and call prescriptions in to a compounding pharmacy in your state.
