About Balanced Women's Wellness
Tanya Smith is a nurse-midwife who moved from pregnancy and birth care to looking after women in perimenopause and menopause. Her practice is entirely by video, and you need to be in Connecticut at the time of each visit. She prescribes FDA-approved bioidentical hormones, testosterone and non-hormonal options, and would rather treat by symptoms than by hormone blood levels. Nutrition and fitness are a big part of her care, with glucose monitor coaching and a workout app. She talks openly about going from overweight to winning a bikini competition at 47 in the middle of perimenopause. New patients book online and fill in intake forms before the first visit.
