Menopause signals a transition in a woman's reproductive life, marking the end of menstrual cycles. On average, it occurs between the ages of 45-55. As the ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone, women may experience uncomfortable symptoms resulting from hormonal imbalance. Timely treatment and guidance from a qualified menopause specialist can help women navigate this transition smoothly.
If left untreated, the declining estrogen levels during menopause can lead to:
Early evaluation and hormone therapy may help prevent these conditions, along with relieving difficult symptoms.

The first step is comprehensive lab testing to accurately identify hormone imbalances driving troublesome menopausal symptoms. We help uncover potential deficiencies in:
* Estrogen - Declines during menopause * Progesterone - Also drops with loss of ovarian function
* T3, T4 - Must be optimized for balanced metabolism
* Cortisol, DHEA - Elevations can exacerbate symptoms * Testosterone - Declines in women over time
Understanding your hormone status allows us to create a treatment plan matched to your body and lifestyle. This is the key to finding relief!
The mainstay of treatment is replacing depleted hormones at proper levels with bioidentical hormone therapy. This involves use of:

We customize combinations and routes of delivery based on your labs and preferences. Close follow up helps optimize hormone levels over time for maximal symptom relief.
Studies show that practicing yoga can help reduce multiple menopausal symptoms. Certain yoga poses help reduce hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia, and joint pain. The combination of gentle physical activity, breathing exercises, and meditation provides a holistic approach without medication to ease this transition.
