Our hormone clinic provides specialized menopause care from endocrinologist experts to help women navigate this transition. We offer holistic treatment plans tailored to each woman's needs and goals. Key features of our clinic include:
Menopause marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. The transition usually occurs between ages 45-55. As the ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone, women experience changes and symptoms caused by shifting hormone levels.
While a natural process, menopause causes physical and emotional changes that can significantly impact quality of life. With supportive care, women can move through “the change” feeling empowered and optimistic.
- Hot flashes - Night sweats - Vaginal dryness - Changing cholesterol levels - Weight gain - Bone loss - Bladder control issues - Trouble sleeping - Irritability - Anxiety
Fluctuating hormones also increase risks for certain health conditions. When estrogen drops, women face higher chances of developing:
The leading cause of death for women in the U.S. Loss of estrogen is associated with changes in cholesterol levels and blood vessels.
Bones lose density rapidly in the first few years after menopause. Weak bones lead to higher fracture risks.
From memory lapses to dementia, estrogen plays a role in optimal neurological health.
Getting the right lab tests helps diagnose perimenopause and menopause. Accurate testing also guides effective treatment plans. We recommend:
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) – Levels above 30 mIU/mL indicate that ovarian function is declining. FSH tests are used to confirm menopause.
Estradiol – Measuring estradiol levels helps determine if low estrogen is causing symptoms. Optimal range is 30-400 pg/mL.
Thyroid panel – Thyroid dysfunction often accompanies menopause. Testing TSH, free T3 and T4 spots thyroid problems.
Vitamin D – Many women are low in vitamin D, which contributes to fatigue, mood issues, and bone loss during menopause.
CBC – A complete blood count provides an overall health picture, spots anemia risk and potential bleeding concerns.
Chemistry profile – Checks electrolytes, kidney and liver function, cholesterol levels and blood sugar regulation.
Many women going through menopause find relief from symptoms like hot flashes and mood changes through cognitive behavioral therapy. CBT helps women identify and change negative thought patterns related to menopause, promoting a more positive attitude toward this natural life transition.
Relieving stubborn symptoms is key to thriving in menopause. Traditional hormone therapy boosts estrogen and progesterone to optimal levels. We also integrate natural therapies and lifestyle approaches into customized treatment plans based on each woman’s health profile and personal goals.
Lab-made to match the body’s natural hormones, these plant-based hormones offer the most precise way to deliver estrogen and progesterone to stabilize levels. Options include pills, patches, gels, inserts, shots, and creams. We closely monitor patients to adjust dosages to optimal symptom relief with minimal risks.
Delivered directly to vaginal tissues via cream, vaginal estrogen resolves dryness and discomfort during intercourse without raising levels throughout the body. Low-dose options treat locally while avoiding risks of systemic hormones.
Mixed by a pharmacist, custom formulas allow hormones to be adjusted to match each woman's changing needs over time. We monitor thyroid, adrenal function, neurotransmitter balance and nutrition status to create truly personalized and precision treatment regimens.
