Lauren, a 45-year-old female, was experiencing typical peri-menopausal symptoms. She had sleep issues that were getting worse, falling asleep easily but then waking up for hours. Perhaps as a result of this poor sleep, she also complained about extreme fatigue, brain fog and depression. Additional issues included thinning hair and constipation.

I first met Robin when she was 44 years old. She had been suffering for three years with severe vaginal dryness, tightness, burning, and pain with intercourse. These symptoms started after she had her second child. She had tried a bunch of different conventional therapies her regular docs recommended, but nothing had worked, and it looked like she was going into premature ovarian failure – or early menopause

Caryn has been on what can only be described as an epic quest to uncover the answer to how to manage her menopause. She’s not had a period for five years and is on a couple of compounded hormones, but has cobbled together her “hormonal care” herself, looking in various places to find an expert to fine tune solutions and to guide her.

Katherine went through menopause when she was 55 years old. She was about 57 years old when she came to my office to check in on her overall health and to fine tune her supplement regime. She was healthy and, other than some bladder leakage issues (for which I referred her to a pelvic floor specialist,) she didn’t express much concern about menopause.
