Menopause is a natural transition that all women go through, marking the end of menstrual cycles and fertility. The average age for menopause is 51, but it can occur anywhere from 40-55 years old.
Key changes during menopause:
What causes menopause?
Menopause occurs when the ovaries stop producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone. This leads to an imbalance in hormone levels throughout the body. Estrogen in particular helps regulate many bodily processes in women, so declining levels during perimenopause and menopause lead to disruptive symptoms.
While menopause is a natural process, managing symptoms and long-term health risks is crucial. Hormone therapy can help provide relief through customized treatment plans.
Getting hormone blood tests is the best way to identify perimenopause and pinpoint any hormone imbalances contributing to troublesome symptoms.
Key hormones our practitioners test for include:
Based on test results and symptom evaluation, our menopause specialists create personalized treatment plans to restore hormonal balance. Common therapies include:
Uses plant-based hormones identical to those naturally produced by the body. Available in pills, patches, gels/creams, vaginal rings, injections.
Custom mixes of bioidentical hormones to match each woman's hormonal needs and imbalances.
Pellets implanted under the skin release testosterone over 3-6 months to treat low libido, fatigue, mental fogginess.
Tracking symptoms and repeating blood tests helps monitor progress and make dosage adjustments as needed. Most women begin to experience relief within weeks as hormone levels stabilize.
Supporting women throughout perimenopause and menopause with safe, effective treatment is our specialty at Revive Hormone Clinic. Our goal is always to minimize disruptive symptoms for the best possible quality of life.
For hot flashes and night sweats, we offer both hormone therapy and non-hormonal options to help keep you cool and sleeping soundly. Staying well hydrated and dressing in breathable clothing layers can also help.
Vaginal dryness and painful intercourse respond very well to localized estrogen creams or vaginal inserts that alleviate dry/thin tissue. We compound these products in various strengths for each woman's comfort. Using lubricants is another simple solution.
Mood changes like anxiety, irritability, or depression often improve with better sleep and restoring optimal hormone levels. We also collaborate closely with mental health professionals when needed. Regular exercise, meditation practices, spending time outdoors, and connecting with friends also help smooth out mood fluctuations.
Joint pain and muscle aches may be related to low estrogen as women approach menopause. Chiropractic care, gentle stretching/yoga, massage, and paying attention to ergonomics and posture can provide some relief in addition to hormone therapy.
Reversing bone loss is one of our top priorities to prevent fractures from osteoporosis later in life. We closely monitor patients' bone density and recommend vitamin D/calcium supplementation, weight-bearing exercise, and bone-building medications alongside hormone therapy.
Revive Hormone Clinic practitioners develop comprehensive, integrative treatment plans to address all of your menopause concerns for renewed vitality.

Navigating perimenopause into the postmenopausal years requires proactive, ongoing care to protect future health.
Key areas we monitor and support long-term:
Declining estrogen during menopause raises risks for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease. We emphasize heart-healthy lifestyles and screening tests to reduce risks.
Rapid bone loss accelerates without sufficient estrogen, leading to osteoporosis over time. We prioritize protecting bone density through hormone therapy, diet, exercise, and bone-targeting medications if needed.
Estrogen plays a key role supporting bladder and pelvic floor health. We can recommend Kegel exercises, topical estrogen creams, prescription medications, and medical devices to reduce incontinence.
Optimizing hormone levels promotes better sleep, energy, sexual function, and mental sharpness as women age. Our practitioners collaborate care with anti-aging specialists for maximizing vitality.
We also provide routine care like breast exams, pelvic exams, Pap smears, and skin checks to protect overall wellbeing long after menopause.
Healthy habits like regular exercise, nutritious eating, stress management, and preventative screening remain important through the senior years. We offer compassionate support to help each woman thrive.
Many women are unaware that certain lifestyle changes can significantly ease menopausal symptoms. Simple steps like avoiding caffeine, exercising regularly, practicing relaxing techniques, and eating a balanced diet with phytoestrogen-rich foods can mitigate hot flashes and mood swings without medication.
