Holistic Menopause Relief and Management
Menopause is a natural stage in life, but the symptoms that come with it—like hot flashes, difficulty sleeping, and brain fog—can feel anything but natural. Over the years, I’ve worked with countless women navigating this transition, and one thing I know for sure is that every experience is unique. That’s why I take a personalized, holistic approach to menopause relief, focusing on restoring balance and supporting your body’s natural processes for long-term health and vitality.
Watch this quick video as I explain how a holistic approach can help restore balance and vitality during this transition. 👇
What Happens During Menopause?
During menopause, your body produces about 35-40% fewer hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone. While you may no longer ovulate, these hormones continue to influence your body for the rest of your life. The goal is to ensure these hormone levels remain balanced—because when they don’t, symptoms can worsen, and the risk of chronic health issues like breast or uterine tumors increases.
One of the most common scenarios I see is estrogen dominance, where estrogen levels remain relatively higher than progesterone. This imbalance can contribute to hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and even long-term health risks. Identifying and correcting these imbalances is critical, and that’s where my approach begins.
My Holistic Approach to Menopause Relief and Management
When it comes to menopause, my focus is on uncovering the root causes of your symptoms. Instead of addressing symptoms in isolation, I take a step back to look at the bigger picture—because your hormones don’t work in a vacuum, and neither should your treatment.
- Balancing Hormones
The balance between estrogen and progesterone is key. Too much estrogen relative to progesterone can leave you in a “danger zone,” contributing to uncomfortable symptoms and increasing risks to your health. My goal is to bring these hormones into harmony, supporting a smoother transition through menopause.
- Liver and Gallbladder Function
Your liver and gallbladder play a major role in processing and clearing spent hormones from your system. If these organs aren’t working efficiently, hormones can build up, leading to imbalances and worsened symptoms. Supporting your body’s detox pathways is an essential part of the process.
- Personalized Hormone Testing
To get a clear picture of what’s happening with your hormones, I use a simple and cost-effective saliva test. This test evaluates the “free hormones,” which are the active 1% of your total hormone levels. By assessing estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA, I can pinpoint exactly where imbalances exist and create a targeted plan to address them.
- Nutrition and Herbal Therapies
These are foundational tools for balancing hormones and supporting your body during menopause.
- Lifestyle Adjustments
Small changes to improve sleep, reduce stress, and support movement can make a big difference in how you feel.
Products I Recommend for Menopause Relief
Hormones are complex and unique to each individual, and the best results come from working with a practitioner to develop a personalized protocol. That said, if you’re curious about the products I most commonly recommend in my office to support hormone balance, here’s a sneak peek:
This is a go-to herb for helping balance estrogen and progesterone. It supports the pituitary gland, which plays a critical role in hormone regulation and is especially effective for symptoms like mood swings and hot flashes.
Wild Yam has long been used to support hormonal balance and ease symptoms like cramps and hot flashes. It works gently to help your body adapt to hormonal changes. MediHerb combines Wild Yam root, Shatavari root, St John’s Wort, Sage, Black Cohosh and Korean Ginseng for the ultimate combination.
Known for its ability to enhance vitality, Tribulus supports testosterone levels and overall hormonal balance. It’s especially helpful for improving energy and libido.
This product provides foundational support for the female endocrine system, including the adrenal glands, thyroid, and reproductive organs. It’s an excellent choice for addressing systemic imbalances during menopause. Symplex F contains a proprietary Protomorphogen™ (PMG) blend which contains a unique profile of nucleotides and peptides from bovine ovary, adrenal, pituitary, and thyroid.
Rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), Black Currant Seed Oil helps reduce inflammation and supports skin, joint, and hormonal health. It’s especially useful for managing hot flashes and dry skin.
These products are just part of a comprehensive, individualized plan that I tailor to each patient’s needs.
Common Symptoms I Address
While every woman’s menopause journey is different, there are common symptoms I see in my practice that can be effectively managed with the right approach.
Hot Flashes: Often tied to stress and hormonal imbalances, these can be reduced with whole food supplements and herbal therapies, along with stress management techniques.
Sleep Disturbances: Poor sleep may stem from cortisol dysregulation, hormonal shifts, or liver function. Supporting these areas can lead to more restful nights.
Cognitive Fog: Addressing nutritional needs and hormonal balance can help restore focus and memory.
Beyond Menopause: Supporting Long-Term Health
Managing menopause isn’t just about alleviating symptoms; it’s about protecting your health for the future. Hormonal balance is crucial for preventing chronic conditions like osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. By supporting your body holistically, we can set the stage for long-term vitality and well-being.
