WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Welcome! You’ve found a supportive space for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, low libido, and weight gain. Here at Empowered Women's Health of Austin, we believe in providing evidence-based care that’s safe, effective, and in line with the latest guidelines from the Menopause Society and Obesity Medicine Association.
Let’s be real: many providers in the menopause space are pushing expensive supplements and pellet therapy, often motivated by profit. These treatments usually aren’t covered by insurance, leaving you with expensive medical bills for unregulated therapies that simply haven’t been studied enough. If your hormone therapy requires frequent lab tests, that’s a serious RED FLAG—it could mean your treatment is putting you at risk for dangerously high hormone levels, raising your risks for health issues like stroke and heart attack and even cancer.
You deserve better than care that puts profit over your well-being. The menopause journey can be confusing, and it’s important to have reliable information to make informed choices. To help guide you, here's the NAMS Position Statement for menopause and testosterone guidelines.
At our clinic, I promise to empower you with the knowledge and support you need to make informed decisions about your health. If you’re worried that you might be getting biased, unsafe medical advice, let’s clarify what good menopause care looks like—spoiler alert: it won’t involve pellet therapy or frequent lab tests. For deeper insights, don’t miss our podcast, EmpowHER, or Youtube channel, MenopauseNP, where we explore everything about menopause and women’s health.
Founded by Kristine Groemping, a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Certified Menopause Practitioner, our approach focuses on holistic care. We see you as a whole person, not just for your menopause symptoms. We’re dedicated to understanding your unique challenges and ensuring you feel seen, heard, and cared for every step of the way.

Reclaim Your Vitality – Cutting-Edge Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in Austin
If you’re struggling with the effects of hormonal imbalance, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) could be the solution you’ve been looking for. At Empowered Women's Health in Texas, we provide cutting-edge HRT treatments in Austin, TX, to help restore your hormonal balance and relieve symptoms of menopause. By using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, we're able to bring harmony to your body's hormone levels with hormones that are structured just like the ones you naturally produce, resulting in a treatment that feels more like you. Most women know the drill all too well – unbearable hot flashes, irrational mood swings, and a general feeling of being "off." We're here to alter that script, targeting the root causes with compassion, care, and researched-backed estrogen and progesterone therapy.
Understanding Hormone Replacement Therapy
If you’re experiencing menopause, understanding your options for managing symptoms is the first step. One common treatment that many women consider is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Let’s break it down in a way that’s easy to understand.
What is HRT?
HRT involves taking medications to replace hormones that your body no longer produces in sufficient amounts during menopause, primarily estrogen and progesterone. For many women, HRT can be a lifeline, helping to relieve bothersome symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, insomnia, and vaginal dryness.
Types of HRT:
-
Estrogen Therapy (ET): Generally recommended for women who have had a hysterectomy. ET is effective in alleviating symptoms caused by low estrogen levels.
-
Combination Therapy (EPT): If you still have your uterus, this therapy combines estrogen with a progestogen. This combination helps protect against uterine cancer, which can be a risk with estrogen alone.
-
Bioidentical Hormones: Some women prefer these, which are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the body.
Who Should Consider HRT?
HRT is often recommended for women experiencing moderate to severe menopausal symptoms, depression, and for osteoporosis prevention, as long as you are within 10 years of your last menstrual period or under the age of 60. Importantly, HRT can also offer additional long-term benefits like reduced risk of osteoporosis and heart disease.
Important Considerations:
While HRT can be highly effective for many, it’s not the right choice for everyone. There are potential risks and side effects that should be carefully considered in consultation with your healthcare provider. Factors like your personal health history, family history of breast cancer, and the severity of menopausal symptoms should all be taken into account.
Evidence Based Care:
The North American Menopause Society (NAMS) has developed guidelines to help you and your healthcare provider navigate the decision-making process regarding menopause treatment. Their recommendations are supported by leading health organizations and experts in the field of women’s health.
Next Steps:
At Empowered Women's Health of Austin, we’re dedicated to providing you with the most accurate and up-to-date information about menopause and HRT.
