Menopause is a natural transition marking the end of a woman's menstrual cycles. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. Menopause happens when estrogen and progesterone hormone levels decline, and a woman's ovaries stop releasing eggs. Perimenopause is the transition phase leading up to menopause, which can begin up to 10 years beforehand.
Common menopause symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, sleep issues, and vaginal dryness. While menopause is inevitable, seeking treatment can effectively minimize discomfort.
Menopause occurs due to the natural decline of hormone levels with age. Factors like genetics, autoimmune disease, chemotherapy, smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise can cause it to start earlier. There are several blood tests to check hormone levels and determine if a woman has started menopause transition.
Fluctuating and dropping estrogen and progesterone levels impact overall health. Some effects may last for years beyond menopause. It's crucial to supplement declining hormones to prevent long-term issues like heart disease, osteoporosis, mood disorders, and loss of skin elasticity.
At Renewed Balance Clinic, we specialize in optimizing hormone levels in perimenopausal and menopausal women through customized treatment plans. We approach each patient as a whole person rather than a collection of symptoms.
After assessing your risk factors and unique needs, we will design a treatment protocol utilizing bioidentical hormones, nutrition plans, prescription medications, and lifestyle changes focused on reducing discomfort and improving health during this transition.
Bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to the estrogen, progesterone and testosterone made by the human body. For most women, balanced hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) restoring ideal levels is the most effective approach to managing menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms.
BHRT can be administered through gels, tablets, pellets, patches, and creams. At Renewed Balance Clinic, our doctors and nurse practitioners specialize in hormonal pellet implants, a more stable delivery method providing steady hormone levels over the long-term.
In addition to pellet therapy and overseeing hormone testing, checkups, and dosage adjustment, we also offer comprehensive lifestyle support. This includes:
We understand the discomfort – both physical and emotional – this transition can spark. Our goal is to educate, empower and assist patients with personalized care plans suiting their unique needs and health profile.
In addition to relieving uncomfortable short term symptoms associated with menopause like hot flashes, night sweats and sleep disruption, actively addressing changing hormone levels provides protective long term health impacts.
Working with a knowledgeable menopause specialist helps smooth out widely fluctuating hormones occurring during perimenopause. You’ll better understand the process, set reasonable expectations, and take proactive measures – greatly easing the intensity of changes.
Increasingly energy, easier weight maintenance, improved sleep, balanced moods, and an overall higher quality of life are just a few benefits noted by perimenopausal and menopausal women following customized treatment protocols overseen by our men's and women’s hormone experts.
Working closely with our compassionate staff to build custom care plans specifically tailored to your needs and health profile, we help patients gracefully navigate the transitional menopause years.
We will thoroughly assess your risk factors, lifestyle and symptoms – designing personally optimized protocols to balance hormones, expand healthspans, reduce discomfort and enhance quality of life during this change.
