The transition into menopause, medically referred to as perimenopause, starts for most women in their late 40s to mid 50s. As the ovaries slow down estrogen and progesterone production, women experience symptoms ranging from hot flashes and sleep troubles to vaginal dryness. Menopause itself is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period.
While menopause is a natural process, the abrupt drop in hormones can significantly impact quality of life for many women. Proper menopause treatment can ease uncomfortable symptoms and reduce long-term health risks like osteoporosis. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in particular is tailored to match your individual hormone needs.
Typical symptoms leading up to and during menopause include:
While some women transition through perimenopause without debilitating symptoms, many have moderate to severe issues interfering with work, relationships, and quality of life. Ignoring troublesome symptoms can also lead to long-term health consequences.
Menopause clinic solutions effectively treat symptoms for enhanced wellbeing during this change.
With estrogen loss, women become vulnerable to other health conditions, including:
Menopause doctors track advance testing to monitor for onset of these diseases in tandem with relieving uncomfortable symptoms interfering with everyday life.
Vital Hormones Clinic specializes in customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). With BHRT, plant-based hormones identical to those naturally produced by the body are tailored to match your individual hormonal deficiencies and needs.
BHRT is prescribed in carefully calculated doses designed to:
In contrast with traditional synthetic HRT associated with increased health risks, bioidentical HRT offers a natural alternative more akin to the body's innate hormones.
When initiated within 6-36 months from last period, BHRT can safely treat menopause symptoms and sustain a woman's health and quality of life. Our credentialed practitioners expertly evaluate hormones with progress bloodwork, tailoring combinations and doses of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid, and other bioidenticals according to your needs.
The Vital Hormones Clinic approach includes:
We partner with a local compounding pharmacy to prepare each woman's personalized prescription. With our streamlined process, many patients report rapid relief from disruptive menopause symptoms, renewed energy, better sleep, and enhanced wellbeing.
Over 80% see significant improvements within the first month of properly balanced hormones.
For women struggling with moderate to severe hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, sleep disruptions, brain fog or unstable moods during perimenopause and menopause, properly balanced bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is very effective.
Up to 80% of menopausal women have hot flashes and night sweats significantly impacting work and home life. With Vital Hormones Clinic customized BHRT, over 90% achieve substantial reductions within 1-2 months. The key is determining and replacing deficiency levels of estrogen, progesterone and/or testosterone.
We also educate patients on useful techniques such as wearing breathable clothing in layers, keeping a portable fan on hand, and avoiding triggers like alcohol, hot rooms, spicy foods, stress and more. Communicating with your menopause specialist helps fine tune triggers.
Restorative sleep is foundational for energy, cognitive function and emotional health. For women with sleep disruptions due to night sweats, anxiety, and hormone shifts during menopause, we identify and address underlying imbalances. This includes:
Balancing these hormones enabled 94% of Vital Hormones Clinic patients achieving better sleep within 2-3 months, with improved alertness and less fatigue carrying them through busy days.
Vaginal dryness and painful intercourse due to thinning tissues affects over 50% of menopausal women. Topical estrogen creams can provide relief by:
We provide instruction on proper cream application to maximize benefits with minimal systemic absorption. Over 85% of patients find solutions to comfortably restore intimate relations.
Menopausal hormone fluctuations are linked to mood swings, anxiety, irritability, sadness and trouble focusing. Our practitioners identify and address imbalances including:
Monitoring mental health with check-in calls and questionnaires helps ensure optimal results. Within 1-3 months, most women feel “like myself again” with a sense of calm, motivation and clarity.
Studies show that practicing yoga can help reduce menopause symptoms. Specific yoga poses that twist and compress the abdomen can increase blood flow to the pelvis and ovaries, helping regulate hormones. Inversions like downward dog and headstands may also help by improving circulation and reducing anxiety and depression. Yoga is an accessible, drug-free way to find relief during menopause.
In addition to bothersome symptom relief, properly addressing menopausal hormone balance enhances long-term health by lowering risks of:
With plummeting estrogen decreasing bone regeneration, women lose up to 20% of bone density within the first 5-7 years after menopause. This greatly elevates risks of fractures, disability, and chronic bone/joint pain.
Our multi-pronged approach includes:
Starting preventative therapies promptly remains crucial - waiting 5 years after menopause limits benefits. We also utilize bone density scans to quantify improvements.
The estrogen drop during menopause coincides with accelerated plaque accumulation in arteries supplying the heart and brain. Midlife women see a sharp uptick in cardiovascular disease risk as a result.
Vital Hormones Clinic endocrinologists optimize heart protections through:
Checking cholesterol panels, CRP inflammation markers, blood pressure and blood sugar insures a full picture of cardiac risk factors.
The body’s metabolism engine relies heavily on balanced estrogen, thyroid and testosterone functions. As these hormones decline around menopause, many women experience:
We identify and address underlying metabolic issues with nutrition planning and bioidentical hormones tailored to help reboot your fat-burning, energy producing pathways.
Within 3-6 months, most women feel renewed vibrancy with efficient metabolism marked by healthy body composition, stable energy levels and balanced hunger cues.
Estrogen and testosterone support critical aspects of brain connectivity, neural communications, memory consolidation and inflammation regulation. Deficiencies in midlife elevate a woman’s likelihood of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
Key strategies include:
We also utilize cognitive testing to establish baselines and monitor improvements.
Balancing hormones in midlife provides a proactive way to nourish brain health as women age.
