SYMPTOMS WE TREAT
Perimenopause and Menopause Symptoms We Treat
Hormonal changes look different from one woman to the next. Some symptoms begin years before your period stops. Others become louder after menopause.
Perimenopause
The transition leading up to menopause, when hormones fluctuate unpredictably.
You might notice

- Sudden irritability or rage

- Heavier, lighter, or irregular periods
- Weight gain around the middle
- Lower libido
- Feeling touched out
- Hot flashes or night sweats
- Breast tenderness
- Headaches
- Feeling like you are not yourself
Menopause
Menopause is reached after 12 months without a period. Hormone levels are typically lower and symptoms become more consistent.

- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Poor sleep
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Lower libido

- Increased belly fat
- Loss of muscle or strength
- Joint aches

Not Sure Which Stage You Are In?
You do not have to figure it out on your own. We look at your symptoms, cycle history, labs, and overall health to help determine where you are and what support fits. Read more about perimenopause symptoms after 40.
OUR APPROACH
More Than a Hormone Level
You are more than a number on a lab report. We look at the factors shaping how you feel, function, sleep, think, and move through your day.
Comprehensive Assessment
We start with your symptoms, health history, cycle changes, medications, lifestyle, goals, and appropriate lab testing.
Personalized Treatment
If hormone therapy fits, your plan is built around you. No one-size-fits-all protocol.
Follow-Up and Monitoring
We track your symptoms, labs, response to treatment, and overall health, then adjust when needed.
Thyroid and Metabolic Health
Fatigue, stubborn weight gain, brain fog, and changes in body composition are not always hormones alone. When appropriate, we evaluate thyroid, metabolic, and nutrient-related factors.
Nutrition and Lifestyle
Sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, muscle mass, and metabolic health all shape how you feel. These are part of the bigger picture too.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Options
Hormone pellets are one option. They are not the only one.
EvexiPEL Hormone Pellet Therapy
EvexiPEL pellets release hormone gradually over time, which delivers more consistent levels compared with therapies that create larger peaks and drops between doses. Most women receive pellets every three to four months, though timing shifts based on symptoms, response, and hormone levels.
Other Formulations
Depending on your symptoms, medical history, lab findings, and preferences, your plan might include:
- Estrogen patches or creams
- Oral progesterone
- Vaginal hormone therapy
- Testosterone creams or injections
- Other appropriate formulations
Our goal is not to put every woman on pellets. It is to find the hormone treatment plan that fits you best.
