Comprehensive Care at Illuminate Functional and Lifestyle Medicine
At Illuminate Functional and Lifestyle Medicine, we provide specialized care for women navigating the hormonal changes associated with perimenopause and postmenopause. These life stages can bring significant physical and emotional shifts as hormone levels fluctuate and decline. Our integrative approach focuses on balancing hormones, addressing underlying symptoms, and empowering women to thrive during this transformative time.
Perimenopause is the transitional period leading up to menopause, often beginning in a woman’s 40s but sometimes earlier. During this time, hormone levels—particularly estrogen and progesterone—fluctuate, causing various symptoms. Menopause is officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual cycle, marking the transition into postmenopause, when estrogen and progesterone remain at consistently lower levels. These hormonal changes can have wide-ranging effects on the body and mind.
Hormonal imbalances during perimenopause and postmenopause are primarily driven by the natural decline of reproductive hormones. However, other factors can influence the severity of symptoms:
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your symptoms, health history, and lifestyle to understand your hormonal health. Our assessment includes:
