Menopause & Perimenopause

Navigate Hormonal Changes with Confidence and Expert Support

Menopause and perimenopause are natural phases in a woman’s life—but for many, the symptoms can be anything but natural. From mood swings and poor sleep to weight gain, hot flashes, and anxiety, these hormonal shifts can dramatically affect your quality of life.

At Fit Rx Health & Wellness, we specialize in helping women feel like themselves again. Using personalized care, bioidentical hormone therapy, and a root-cause approach, we help you manage the transition with clarity, confidence, and lasting wellness.

What Is Perimenopause?

Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause when your hormone levels—especially estrogen and progesterone—begin to fluctuate. This stage can start in your late 30s or early 40s and often lasts several years.

Common perimenopause symptoms include:

Irregular or heavy periods
Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety
Poor sleep or insomnia
Fatigue or low energy
Brain fog or forgetfulness
Vaginal dryness or discomfort
Decreased libido

Many women are told these symptoms are “normal,” but they’re often the result of hormonal imbalance that can be treated safely and effectively.

What Is Menopause?

Menopause is defined as the absence of a period for 12 consecutive months, typically between ages 45 and 55. Once this transition is complete, estrogen levels drop significantly, which can impact nearly every aspect of a woman’s health.

Common menopause symptoms include:

Hot flashes and night sweats
Weight gain, especially around the midsection
Loss of bone density (osteopenia/osteoporosis)
Vaginal atrophy and discomfort during intimacy
Cognitive decline, brain fog, or memory issues
Metabolic slowdown and insulin resistance
Increased risk of heart disease

These changes don’t mean decline is inevitable. With the right support, you can thrive through menopause and beyond.

Our Holistic Approach to Menopause & Perimenopause

At Fit Rx Health & Wellness, we take time to understand your unique symptoms, health history, and goals. We use a functional medicine approach that looks at your entire hormonal system—not just estrogen and progesterone.

Your personalized care plan may include:

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to restore optimal levels of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone
Pellet therapy for long-lasting hormone balance
Topical hormone creams or injectable options for flexible dosing
Thyroid and adrenal testing to evaluate other sources of fatigue and imbalance
Customized nutrition and supplement recommendations to support hormone metabolism and overall health
Comprehensive lab testing to guide treatment and track progress

Hormone therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—and it shouldn’t be. Our goal is to help you feel strong, stable, and in control of your body again.

Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

Many women are unsure or fearful about hormone therapy, but bioidentical hormones are a safe, effective solution when used under expert guidance. These hormones are molecularly identical to those your body produces and are tailored to your individual needs.

Benefits of BHRT may include:

Fewer hot flashes and night sweats
Better sleep and less insomnia
Increased energy and motivation
Improved memory, focus, and mood
Enhanced sexual desire and comfort
Easier weight control and metabolic support
Protection against bone loss and heart disease

We carefully monitor your labs and symptoms throughout the process, making adjustments to ensure optimal balance and safety.

Common Questions About Menopause Care

When should I get tested for hormone levels?

If you’re experiencing symptoms like poor sleep, mood swings, fatigue, or changes in weight or libido, testing your hormones can help identify imbalances. We typically test estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid function, and adrenal markers.

Is hormone therapy safe for women in perimenopause?

Yes. In fact, starting BHRT during perimenopause can help you transition more smoothly into menopause. Early treatment may also reduce your risk of long-term issues like bone loss and cardiovascular disease.

Will hormone therapy cause weight gain?

On the contrary—restoring hormonal balance often makes it easier to maintain a healthy weight, build muscle, and improve metabolism.

Do I need to stop hormone therapy at a certain age?

Not necessarily. Many women continue hormone therapy safely into their 60s and even 70s. We reassess your plan regularly and adjust based on your needs and risk profile.
