Menopause is a natural stage in a woman’s life, but it doesn’t have to come with overwhelming symptoms. At Alpha Care Wellness Center, we take a whole-body, functional medicine approach to helping women thrive before, during, and after menopause.
What Happens During Menopause?
Menopause is marked by the permanent end of menstrual cycles and a decline in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels. Symptoms can begin during perimenopause and may include:
-
Hot flashes and night sweats
-
Mood swings and irritability
-
Weight gain
-
Sleep disturbances
-
Vaginal dryness
-
Brain fog
-
Fatigue
The Functional Medicine Difference
Instead of masking symptoms, we investigate the root causes of hormone imbalance, often including:
-
Adrenal fatigue
-
Thyroid dysfunction
-
Nutrient deficiencies
-
Inflammation
-
Insulin resistance
Natural Support Strategies
We take a customized, integrative approach that may include:
-
Nutritional therapy to support hormone balance
-
Bio-identical hormone therapy (BHRT)
-
Herbal and botanical remedies
-
Stress reduction and adrenal support
-
Thyroid optimization
Why BHRT?
Unlike synthetic hormones, bio-identical hormones are chemically identical to those your body produces. This makes them more effective and better tolerated. Dr. Oseni tailors BHRT dosages specifically to each woman’s needs based on comprehensive lab testing.
