Read on to learn about our 5-step Conquering Menopause Program and how we support you every step of the way.

What is Perimenopause & Menopause Anyway?

Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, when your body’s hormone production begins to shift. It’s usually marked by a decline in progesterone first, and increase in estrogen, and then over time, eventually a decline in estrogen. This hormonal shift can start in your early 40s—or even late 30s—and can last for 7-10 years.

Menopause officially begins when you’ve gone 12 consecutive months without a period. By this time estrogen is completely deficient. But the symptoms can start much earlier—and they can be intense.

Common Perimenopause & Menopause Symptoms We Treat

• Hot flashes

• Chills

• Night sweats

• Sleep disturbances 

• Mood changes including anxiety, low mood, and mood swings

• Diminished memory

• Weight loss resistance

• Thinning hair

• Dry skin

• Vaginal changes/dryness

• Decreased libido 

When left untreated, not only do the symptoms leave you feeling very much unlike yourself, but you also become at risk for a number of long-term health concerns. These include things such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and dementia.

Conquering Menopause: Our 5 Step Treatment Program

It’s time to reclaim your hormones and feel great in your body again! This is exactly why we created the Conquering Menopause Program. This 5-step program will help you reduce your symptoms, prevent long-term risks, and take the guesswork out of menopause, so you can get back to feeling like yourself!

our 5-step program

1. Identify Barriers  - We complete an extremely comprehensive intake and lab testing to understand your general health status, your hormone status, and identify where things are going wrong. We also send you home to complete symptom monitoring so we can start to pick up on your unique symptom patterns.

2. Support Foundations – This is where your treatment begins. We ensure the foundations of health are in place so your symptoms resolve faster and we’re maintaining these results long-term. Often just correcting these and putting them into place is all you need! We teach you how to implement foundational supports in a balanced way so you never feel restricted.

3. Customized + Targeted Supplementation – Once we receive all of your lab results and symptom diary we start targeting treatment specifically to you. This often takes the form of highly concentrated supplementation and is completely based on your unique physiology and barriers.

4. Ongoing Coaching & Monitoring – Once we’ve set you up with a customized and targeted approach, we don’t just leave it at that—we actively track your progress to ensure you're seeing real results. This is achieved through continuous coaching and ongoing monitoring. With coaching, we ensure that our plan integrates smoothly into your daily routine, because without that, the outcomes you want simply won’t happen. Our monitoring includes regular blood work and in-depth reassessment of your key concerns, so there’s no uncertainty. You’ll have a clear, concrete understanding of how our treatment is specifically working for your perimenopause/menopause.

5. Support Long-Term Health Risks of Menopause – Once your initial concerns have been addressed, we create a new plan for you to carry forward to help sustain your results and prevent long-term risks such as Osteoporosis that often emerge in menopause. Our goal at this point is that you’ve become such an expert in understanding your own body that you only need us for maintenance support quarterly or bi-annually!
