How We Can Help
Chances are if you’re here, you’ve been struggling with your transition into menopause and are ready to take some positive steps forward. If perimenopause is ruling your life, you’ve been struggling with sleepless nights, you keep cancelling plans because your clothes are too tight, or you’re just tired of feeling like a stranger in your own body, you’re in the right place.
Our team is here to help you take the guesswork out of eliminating your menopause symptoms, and provide you with a customized and realistic treatment plan.
What is Menopause Anyway?
Menopause occurs when a woman’s ovarian function begins to decline, making ovulation and levels of our two reproductive hormones, estrogen and progesterone, irregular. It often takes the form of irregular or absent periods around 40-55 years of age, and often comes with a range of unpleasant symptoms!
Common symptoms of menopause we often treat include:
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.
What To Expect
Whatever symptoms of menopause you are experiencing, our team will take the time to hear you, meet you where you are at, and teach you how to feel confident and comfortable in your body again! Our ultimate goal is to teach you how to live life optimally with menopause so that symptoms are kept at bay, you feel in control of your body, and prevention strategies for long-term concerns like osteoporosis are put in place.

It’s time to reclaim your hormones and feel great in your body again! This is exactly why we created the Conquering Menopause Program.

our 5-step program
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.
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.
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.
Optimize the Gut – Once foundations are in place, and we’ve removed underlying barriers through targeted supplementation, we look at further optimizing the gut. The gut is the foundation of lasting health in the body and has far-reaching impacts on our hormonal health. Optimizing this system is a must in order to maintain long-term results.
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!
