Menopause and Perimenopause in Boca Raton, FL

Sail Through, Don’t Wade Through!

When menopause hits, we can feel completely out of sorts, with irritability, sadness, sleeplessness, low energy, poor sex drive, lack of motivation, weight gain, and of course hot flashes and night sweats, leaving us feeling like a shadow of our former selves.

While menopause is often regarded as the main culprit for major female hormone imbalance, women can hit perimenopause as long as a decade before menopause itself, which means that we deal with fluctuating hormones far longer than we might realize! That means that most women in their 30s and 40s might already be facing hormonal shifts that can be difficult and unpredictable to manage. During perimenopause, for example, estrogen drops but can also lurch up & down more than usual during the menstrual cycle – often for years.

But you don’t have to just put up with it. At each stage of the female lifespan, we can use BHRT – natural hormone therapy to help you sail through. It’s not just feeling better that is important. Your body needs proper levels of hormones in order to maintain healthy bones, metabolism, brain function, heart health, skin and hair.

Many years ago, we were made scared to death of hormone replacement (HRT), by the findings of the Women’s Health Initiative, a large study that revealed that estrogen and progestin cause cancer.  Unfortunately, that fear left many unarmed and suffering.

Of course, you don’t want to risk getting breast cancer.

We are Here to Help You!

We are experts at helping women – and men – sail their hormonal ship back into calmer waters. As leaders in peak performance & sexual performance therapies, we know everything there is to know about the management of sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, and everything in between) and how to manipulate them to restore your emotional, cognitive & physiological balance. For us, it is all about finding and restoring that balance, which we achieve with BHRT, lifestyle, dietary recommendations, targeted supplements, genetics, and a clear understanding of your history.

Alongside BHRT, we advise on interventions for stress (which can play a major role in mediating hormonal equilibrium), nutrient deficiencies, the removal of trigger foods such as spicy foods from your diet, a consideration of clothing choices (tight, restrictive clothing can often worsen the sensations of hot flushes and temperature changes), the use of alcohol and nicotine. We can coach you in relaxation techniques such as rhythmic breathing and meditation as pre-emptive & in-the-moment coping strategies for when hot flushes hit and empower you to re-evaluate aspects of lifestyle management that can significantly lower stress, which in turn, will majorly positively impact overall wellness.

So if you feel that hot flushes, hormonal imbalances, or dysfunctions are getting in the way of you really living & loving your life, get in touch. The Doctors Studio is ready & waiting to help you!
