Perimenopause refers to the hormonal changes in a woman’s body as she transitions into menopause, which is identified by a lack of menstruation for one full year. Perimenopause generally begins in the forties but some women notice symptoms as early as mid-thirties. Many women experience a rocky road during this transition as estrogen levels can rise and fall unevenly during peri-menopause. Menstrual cycles can lengthen or shorten due to changes in ovulation. Women can experience a wide variety of peri-menopausal and menopausal symptoms because of hormonal decline and hormone fluxuation.
Testing & Monitoring
Our goal with perimenopause and menopause is to support and balance a woman’s hormones using natural therapeutics so that the transition goes smoothly and symptoms are minimal. Depending on the person, hormone testing is available. We consider both blood hormone testing and specialty hormone testing such as the DUTCH Complete Hormone Test. We support women through menopause with a whole-person, natural approach. This includes dietary and lifestyle recommendations, herbal and nutrient supplementation, and referrals for bio-identical hormone replacement when necessary.
Our Holistic Approach
Perimenopause and menopause is a natural transition that deserves support. Our approach looks beyond hormone levels alone to understand how diet, stress, sleep, adrenal health, and gut health all interact with your changing hormones, since imbalances in these areas can intensify symptoms.
From there, we build a personalized plan that may include targeted nutrient and herbal supplementation or dietary and lifestyle adjustments to guide you through the shifts. If you have questions about bio-identical hormone replacement therapy we can help you make an informed choice and connect you to a prescribing provider.
