Understanding Menopause and Perimenopause
Menopause is a natural stage in every woman’s life, typically occurring between ages 45 and 55, marking the end of menstrual cycles. Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, where hormone levels begin to fluctuate. These hormonal shifts can cause a wide range of physical and emotional symptoms that impact quality of life.
Common symptoms of Perimenopause and Menopause include:
Hot flashes and night sweats
Mood swings and irritability
Depression and anxiety
Brain fog and memory lapses
Low energy and fatigue
Weight gain, especially around the midsection
Decreased libido
Vaginal dryness or discomfort
Irregular periods
Restless sleep or insomnia
Cold hands and feet
Thinning hair and dry skin
Loss of muscle tone and sagging skin

Who Can Benefit from Hormone Therapy?
Menopause isn’t just something that happens “later in life.” In fact, many women begin experiencing perimenopause as early as their late 30s or early 40s, often without realizing it.
If you've noticed changes in your mood, sleep, energy, or menstrual cycle, it could be your body's way of signaling a shift in hormone balance. You might benefit from hormone therapy if you’re:
In your 30s or 40s and dealing with irregular periods, unexplained fatigue, or brain fog
Experiencing mood swings, low libido, or anxiety that feels “new” or “different”
Postpartum and noticing lingering symptoms like low energy or emotional fluctuations
Going through surgical menopause or have had a hysterectomy
Postmenopausal but still struggling with hot flashes, sleep issues, or low energy
Simply feeling like “something’s off” even if your doctor says your labs are normal
Hormone therapy is not about reversing aging. It’s about helping you feel strong, balanced, and fully yourself again.

The thyroid hormone is a metabolic hormone secreted by the thyroid gland. It is vital for regulating metabolism, temperature and brain function.
