About
Winona is a telehealth platform dedicated to empowering women through every stage of perimenopause and menopause via personalized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT). After completing a thorough online medical intake questionnaire, patients are matched with board-certified physicians who design a custom treatment plan based on their unique symptoms, health history, and hormone needs. Winona uses FDA-approved, compounded, plant-derived bioidentical hormones that are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the body. Treatment options span multiple delivery formats — body creams, vaginal formulations, oral medications, and patches — allowing for truly individualized care. The platform addresses more than 15 menopause-related symptoms including hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruptions, mood swings, weight gain, brain fog, low energy, anxiety, intimacy issues, joint pain, skin changes, and more. All prescriptions are shipped for free, and patients enjoy unlimited follow-up consultations with healthcare professionals at no extra cost. The subscription-based model is fully flexible, allowing patients to pause or cancel at any time. Winona's mission is to make quality menopause care accessible, education-driven, and stigma-free. Ideal for women over 35 noticing hormonal changes, the platform combines clinical expertise with the convenience of telemedicine to help women feel like themselves again.
