Functional Medicine Approach
Meno-Pause for Nothing!
Menopause marks the end of your menstrual cycles, typically around age 51, as your ovaries stop functioning. Before reaching this stage, you go through perimenopause—a transition phase that can last 2-8 years, bringing with it irregular periods, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and sleep troubles due to shifting hormones. These changes can also increase your risk of issues like weak bones and heart disease.
How Can We Help?
Menopause is a natural part of aging, but the symptoms can be a real challenge. At Vitality, we offer hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and other treatments to help you manage symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings, and to prevent issues like osteoporosis, cognitive decline, and metabolic or heart disease. Starting treatment early can make a big difference in how you feel.
Our Approach
At Vitality, we help you understand what’s happening with your body and explore all your treatment options. We offer various hormone replacement therapies, including prescription hormones, compounded treatments, pellets, and natural options like herbal remedies and hormone specific lifestyle optimization. Our goal is to support you through this transition and help you feel your best.
Consider This!
Menopause isn’t just about hot flashes and mood swings. It can trigger a host of other health issues. Research shows that menopause can weaken bones, raising the risk of osteoporosis due to falling estrogen levels. It can also take a toll on your heart, with studies suggesting that lower estrogen may up the chances of heart disease. That’s why managing menopause with a holistic and integrated approach is crucial—not just relying on hormone replacement to ease the symptoms. We believe in treating the whole person, ensuring you thrive through every stage of life.
