The Missing Piece in Your Menopause Care
Your Doctor Manages Your Hormones. I Manage Everything That Influences Them.
What Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Can — and Can't — Do
HRT can be a powerful tool. It's highly effective for hot flashes, night sweats, sleep, mood, and bone density — and many of my clients use it. If it's right for you, it belongs in your care plan.
But here's what most women aren't told: HRT was never designed to be a weight loss intervention. If you're still gaining weight, still exhausted, or still not feeling like yourself despite being on HRT — that's not a failure. It's a sign that something else is driving your symptoms.
That's exactly where functional nutrition comes in — working alongside whatever your doctor has prescribed to address what HRT was never designed to do.
"If you're doing everything right and still not feeling better — nutrition is likely the missing piece."
Here’s what we examine together:
Blood Sugar & Insulin Resistance — One of the most overlooked drivers of weight gain, fatigue, and mood swings during perimenopause. We look at meal timing, macronutrient balance, and labs like fasting insulin to understand what's happening beneath the surface.
Gut Health — Your microbiome directly influences how your body metabolizes estrogen. Using advanced functional stool testing like the GI-MAP, we uncover hidden imbalances in your gut bacteria and inflammation that a standard appointment would never catch.
Inflammation — Chronic low-grade inflammation accelerates nearly every perimenopause symptom. Through targeted nutrition and identifying food sensitivities, we work to calm the underlying fire — not just the symptoms.
Micronutrient Analysis — Deficiencies in magnesium, B vitamins, vitamin D, and omega-3s quietly worsen fatigue, mood, sleep, and cognitive function. Most women don't know they're deficient. We find out.
Supplement Protocols — Evidence-based and personalized to your labs and symptoms. Not what you read on Instagram.
Exercise & Lifestyle — How you move, sleep, and manage stress directly impacts your hormones. We look at the full picture — because nutrition alone is never the whole answer.
This isn't just about getting through menopause. It's about building a body that carries you well beyond it. That's what functional nutrition makes possible. And it's work I'm built to do alongside you.
