Menopause is a natural transition that all women experience as they age. The average age of menopause is 51, but it can occur anywhere from 40-55 years old.
Menopause occurs when a woman's ovaries stop releasing eggs. As egg production slows down, the body makes less of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. This fluctuation and drop in hormones causes menopause symptoms like hot flashes, trouble sleeping, vaginal dryness, mood changes, and more.
While menopause is inevitable, managing symptoms is possible with lifestyle changes and medical treatment if needed. Connecting with knowledgeable menopause doctors and utilizing hormone therapy can alleviate discomfort and help women thrive in this new stage of life.
Hormone levels change for all women leading up to menopause. The years prior are known as perimenopause, when estrogen and progesterone start to decline but a woman still has her period.
Once a woman has gone 12 months without a period, she has officially reached menopause. At this point:
While estrogen levels drop suddenly, testosterone and other androgens decline more slowly over several years. Lower testosterone particularly impacts energy, sexual health, and lean muscle mass.
The spectrum of menopause symptoms ranges from mild to quite disruptive for some women. Changes can last for months or years.
Symptoms vary quite a bit from woman to woman - from none at all to greatly impacting daily life. Genetics, lifestyle, and health conditions also play a role.
Getting the right menopause blood tests provides crucial data for developing an individualized treatment plan. Testing analyzes hormone levels and other key health markers.
Recommended labs to understand what is happening in the body:
Based on results, our menopause experts make precise recommendations to help alleviate deficiencies through hormone therapy, supplements, diet, and lifestyle tactics.
Ongoing testing allows for continually optimizing a woman's treatment plan over months and years. As the body changes with age, adjustments lead to better outcomes.
Many women going through menopause find relief through cognitive behavioral therapy techniques like mindfulness meditation and gentle yoga. These tools can help ease anxiety, mood swings, hot flashes, and trouble sleeping in a drug-free way by reducing stress and promoting relaxation.

We partner with patients to understand their unique needs and challenges. Personalized treatment plans utilize hormone replacement therapy, supplements, nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle techniques tailored to the individual.
Bioidentical hormones are identical on a molecular level to the estrogens, progesterone and testosterone made in the female body. They are safe and effective when expertly dosed and monitored.
We provide hormones through gels, creams, pellets, patches, tablets, and injections. Pellet therapy, inserted under the skin every 3-5 months, offers convenient long-acting relief.
Holistic menopause doctors monitor patients via symptoms reports and regular blood testing to continually optimize hormone levels and ratios over months and years. We also provide prescriptions through a specialty compounding pharmacy when needed.
In addition to medical therapy, we offer a wide range of lifestyle tips and tactics to reduce symptoms.

We also connect patients with trusted providers in the community like fitness trainers, counselors, pelvic floor physical therapists, and massage therapists.
Holistic care for the entire woman leads to the best menopause treatment results. Lifestyle and medical therapy work together to alleviate deficiencies and irritating symptoms.
Getting proper treatment quickly leads to better symptom relief and enhanced quality of life after menopause. The key is recognizing changes and connecting promptly with menopause experts.
Too often women downplay what they are experiencing for months or even years. Symptoms accumulate and life becomes challenging at home and work. Relationships with partners may suffer without support and guidance.
Once bothersome symptoms appear, we encourage being evaluated by one of doctors specializing in menopause right away. After testing and assessment, developing a treatment plan brings welcome relief.
With an integrative approach including bioidentical hormones and lifestyle tactics, most symptoms can be significantly reduced within 1-2 months. Ongoing fine-tuning provides increased benefits over 3-6 months.
