Perimenopause Treatment

What Is Perimenopause?

If you are over 35 years old and are experiencing changes that seem to have a hormonal influence, you are probably perimenopausal. Perimenopause is the period from when you first experience hormonal shifts until you’ve gone a full year without a period – or transitioned into menopause.

Symptoms can be mild or severe, affecting your brain, gut, skin, mood, sex life, and menstrual cycles. If you are one of these women who are experiencing perimenopause symptoms, you are not alone. I am here for you. I offer support and a variety of perimenopause treatments in Milwaukie, OR, designed specifically for your body to help you feel your best again.

Our Approach

A Discussion

First, I listen to your story.

Lab Testing and Hormone Testing

Next, I use comprehensive functional lab testing and extensive hormone testing to establish a starting point and start aligning routines and lifestyle with the changes in physiology. To restore balance to the body through this hormonal transition requires attention on adrenal health, nourishing the nervous system, addressing gut dysfunction, reducing inflammation, optimizing nutrition and training/workout strategies, building lean muscle, and making sure there are no other health conditions (e.g., thyroid disorders).

Action Plan

Finally, I develop a game plan using dietary/nutrition modifications specific to your body, supplements, or bioidentical hormone replacement therapy when indicated, helping to optimize function, prevent disease, and improve your overall quality of life.

Support

You’re not on your own once you get an action plan. We’ll work together to fine-tune and adjust the plan as needed to help you reach your goals. I strive to offer continued support, adjusting your treatment plan as needed. I also provide preventive care and monitoring to help you on the path toward achieving your goals.
