Ying Liu, APRN, FNP-BC
Ying Liu, APRN, FNP-BC, is a Florida-licensed Autonomous Advanced Practice Registered Nurse and the Founder of Aura Medical Wellness in Orlando, Florida. She specializes in hormone replacement and integrative wellness care for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and midlife transitions.
Ying understands that midlife hormonal changes can affect far more than hot flashes. Energy, sleep, weight, mood, brain fog, libido, and overall sense of well-being are all deeply connected to hormonal balance. Her approach is compassionate, individualized, and focused on helping women feel like themselves again.
She earned her Doctor of Medicine degree from Nankai University in China. After completing advanced nursing education in the United States, she became a National Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner. Her background allows her to blend traditional medical training with functional medicine and evidence-based hormone therapy.
With advanced training in anti-aging medicine, functional medicine, and hormone replacement therapy, Ying focuses on identifying root causes rather than simply masking symptoms. She partners closely with her patients, using comprehensive lab testing, thoughtful listening, and personalized treatment plans to support long-term health, confidence, and vitality.
Her mission is to help women move through midlife with clarity, balance, and renewed trust in their bodies.
Hormone Replacement for Women
As women age, natural hormonal shifts can significantly impact energy, mood, sleep, weight, cognition, and overall quality of life. Hormone replacement therapy may be considered for women experiencing symptoms related to perimenopause or menopause after appropriate medical evaluation.
At Natural Wellness & Integrative Health Institute, we provide education, lifestyle guidance, and integrative wellness support. For women interested in medical evaluation for hormone health, we collaborate with an independent licensed Nurse Practitioner who provides comprehensive primary care services, including hormone assessment and management when clinically appropriate.
Common symptoms related to hormone imbalance
Women may experience symptoms related to hormonal changes such as:
• Fatigue or low energy
• Weight changes or difficulty losing weight
• Sleep disturbances or insomnia
• Mood changes, anxiety, or irritability
• Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
• Hot flashes or night sweats
• Low libido or vaginal dryness
• Changes in skin, hair, or muscle tone
Each woman’s experience is unique, and symptoms can vary in intensity and duration. A comprehensive medical evaluation is important to determine the underlying cause and whether hormone therapy or other treatment options may be appropriate.
Types of hormone therapy that may be discussed
When clinically appropriate and following medical evaluation by a licensed Nurse Practitioner, treatment options may include:
• Bioidentical hormone therapy
• Estrogen and progesterone therapy
• Testosterone therapy when medically indicated
• Oral, topical, or other delivery methods
All treatment plans are individualized and determined solely by the Nurse Practitioner based on medical history, clinical evaluation, and laboratory findings.
Hormone Replacement for Men
Hormones play a vital role in men’s energy, metabolism, muscle strength, mood, sleep, and cognitive function. As men age, testosterone levels may gradually decline, often leading to symptoms that impact quality of life.
Hormone replacement for men is not about reversing aging. It is about restoring balance, supporting vitality, and improving overall well being when clinically appropriate.
Common Signs of Hormonal Imbalance in Men
Men experiencing hormonal shifts may notice:
• Persistent fatigue or low energy
• Decreased muscle mass or strength
• Increased body fat, especially around the abdomen
• Reduced libido or sexual performance changes
• Mood changes, irritability, or low motivation
• Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
• Poor sleep or reduced recovery
These symptoms are often gradual and may be dismissed as normal aging, yet they can signal underlying hormonal imbalance.
A Thoughtful, Evidence Informed Approach
At Natural Wellness & Integrative Health Institute, hormone support begins with education and understanding. We focus on helping clients understand how hormones interact with stress, metabolism, sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle.
Our integrative approach includes:
• In depth health history and symptom review
• Education on testosterone and related hormone patterns
• Lab education and interpretation in clear, practical language
• Lifestyle strategies to support natural hormone balance
• Nutrition and exercise guidance that supports muscle and metabolic health
• Stress and sleep optimization
When medical evaluation or hormone therapy is desired, collaboration with a licensed Nurse Practitioner is available.
Supporting Long Term Male Vitality
Hormone balance is only one piece of healthy aging. Sustainable vitality also depends on metabolic health, preservation of strength, control of inflammation, regulation of the nervous system, and lifestyle consistency.
Through education, partnership, and prevention-focused care, we help men make informed decisions and build a strong foundation for long term health and performance.
