As women enter the perimenopausal and menopausal years, they face a difficult decision. The body’s production of sex hormones needed to maintain youthful vitality rapidly declines. Many women suffer because their bodies no longer produce estrogen, progesterone and other hormones at sufficient levels required to optimally sustain critical physiological processes. Women encounter depression, irritability, and short-term memory lapses along with hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, weight gain, and loss of libido.
Health problems encountered during menopause may adversely affect a woman for the rest of her lifetime if the appropriate hormones are not replaced. These problems may include osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and hypercholesterolemia. Each woman, whether pre-, peri-, or post-menopausal, can be prescribed a tailor-made program, based upon a thorough and comprehensive diagnostic analysis, including family history, personal medical history, lifestyle analysis, blood tests, physical examination and other diagnostic tests. With a program that synergistically combines hormone modulation, optimal nutrition (including nutritional supplements), and regular exercise, women simply need not suffer the debilitating physical, emotional and mental consequences of menopause any longer.
