EVIDENCE BASED HORMONE MANAGEMENT

Hot flashes and night sweats are some of the most common symptoms of menopause, affecting 63% of women in perimenopause and 76% in postmenopause. These sudden surges of heat and sweating are caused by fluctuations in estrogen levels, which affect the hypothalamus—the body’s thermostat.

We’ll work with you to find the right evidence-based solutions, from prescription medications to lifestyle changes.

Weight gain is a common issue during perimenopause and menopause, affecting around 50% of women. On average, women gain about 1.5kg per year during this transition, leading to a total of around 10kg by menopause. Most of this weight accumulates in the abdomen and upper body as estrogen levels drop, causing an increase in visceral fat and a slower metabolic rate due to reduced lean muscle mass.

We’ll work with you on evidence-based strategies, from lifestyle adjustments to prescription medications, to help you manage these changes effectively.

Sleep disturbances are a frequent issue during menopause, affecting 56% of women in perimenopause and 66% in postmenopause. These challenges can include trouble falling asleep or waking up often during the night, largely due to hormonal changes in estrogen and progesterone.

Let's work together to address your sleep concerns and help you achieve the rest you deserve.

Sexual difficulties, ranging from low libido to trouble having an orgasm, impact many women during menopause, with 36% in perimenopause and 41% in postmenopause experiencing these symptoms. These challenges are related to decreased estrogen levels, leading reduction of a person’s desire to have sex and make sexual arousal more difficult.

We offer personalized treatments to ease these symptoms and support a healthy, enjoyable sex life.

Irregular periods are a key sign of the menopause transition, often leading to more frequent, unpredictable, or heavier periods. These changes stem from fluctuating hormone levels that disrupt the menstrual cycle's regularity.

We’re here to help you stabilize your cycle and manage any symptoms that arise.

Estrogen helps protect your heart by managing cholesterol and preventing artery fat buildup. During menopause, declining estrogen increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, weight gain, and high cholesterol.

We’ll monitor for metabolic and cardiovascular complications related to menopause, like diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure, and implement preventative strategies to protect your health while managing menopause symptoms effectively.

*Although HRT is not indicated for cardiovascular disease or prevention, the IMS guidelines state that the initiation of estrogen-only HRT reduces coronary heart disease and all-cause mortality. HRT with estrogen and progestogen is associated with little or no increase in the risk of coronary heart disease.
