Perimenopause Care & Treatment

Comprehensive Support for Your Peri- Menopausal Transition

Perimenopause marks the natural transition to menopause, typically beginning in your late 30 -40s.  This phase can last 4-8 years and brings various physical and emotional changes.  Are you confused about perimenopause and when it starts? Are you wondering if maybe you’re in it already, or you’ve asked your doctor and they brush you off or say “that’s just part of getting older”? Well, if you are over 35 you may have entered perimenopause.

When we hit 35 our ovaries start producing less progesterone in the second half of our cycle. When this happens other sex hormones like estrogen can exert their effort more freely leading to heavier cycles, worsening PMS symptoms leading up to your period, as well as changes in mood (did you think it was possible to be so irritated by something as simple as breathing?!). What’s more is that this is the time we start to see metabolic changes as well, cholesterol goes up, we start losing muscle mass and gaining more weight (especially if estrogen is dominant), and we start becoming less sensitive to insulin.

Whether you’re wading these waters while also trying to juggle your career, kids, or maybe aging parents, you deserve a team that can do a comprehensive and holistic assessment and make recommendations that will keep you feeling your best in this season of life.
