Perimenopause & Menopause: A Functional Medicine Approach to Feeling Like Yourself Again
Hormone changes are a natural part of life, but struggling through them isn’t.
At hhc+, we specialize in helping women navigate perimenopause and menopause through a functional medicine lens, addressing root causes, restoring balance, and helping you feel vibrant, focused, and confident again.
Whether you’re starting to notice subtle changes in your 30s or experiencing the full transition into menopause, this can be an empowering time to reclaim your energy, mood, and metabolism with the right care and support.
What Happens During Perimenopause and Menopause
Perimenopause typically begins in the 30s or 40s, as estrogen and progesterone levels start to fluctuate. Cycles may become irregular, and symptoms can come and go unpredictably.
Menopause is defined as 12 consecutive months without a period marking the end of reproductive years but not the end of vitality.
Common symptoms include:
Fatigue, sleep disruption, and night sweats
Mood changes, irritability, or anxiety
Brain fog and memory issues
Weight gain or bloating
Low libido and vaginal dryness
Hair loss, dry skin, or accelerated aging
These changes are the body’s way of signaling that hormone communication is shifting and that your metabolism, nervous system, and adrenal health may need new support.
The Functional Medicine Perspective
Rather than masking symptoms, we focus on uncovering why they’re happening. Hormones don’t operate in isolation, they influence (and are influenced by) other systems in the body.
At hhc+, we evaluate:
Hormone patterns: Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol
Thyroid and adrenal function: The foundation of energy and mood
Blood sugar and insulin regulation: Critical for metabolism and weight management
Liver and gut health: Key for hormone detoxification and balance
Micronutrient status: Because deficiencies can amplify symptoms
By addressing these root imbalances, we help your body restore equilibrium naturally and sustainably.
The Power of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy can be life-changing. BHRT uses hormones chemically identical to your body’s own, allowing for precision, safety, and effectiveness when restoring optimal levels.
At hhc+, BHRT is fully personalized based on your symptoms, history, and lab data. We prescribe FDA approved and compounded bioidentical hormone formulations from trusted partner pharmacies to ensure precision, quality, and individualized dosing.
Options include:
Topical creams or gels – for consistent hormone absorption through the skin
Oral or sublingual troches – for customized dosing combinations
Vaginal formulations – for dryness and urogenital health
Injectable options – for balanced, sustained hormone delivery
Properly managed BHRT can improve:
Energy and focus
Sleep quality
Mood and emotional stability
Muscle tone and metabolism
Libido and sexual health
Bone density and cardiovascular protection
Our goal isn’t just symptom relief—it’s to help you age optimally with clarity, confidence, and longevity.

Supportive Therapies for Energy, Detox, and Longevity
In addition to BHRT, many women benefit from nutrient-based therapies that support detoxification, energy, and cellular repair during hormonal transitions.
Popular IV drips and injections at hhc+ include:
The Stand + Deliver: Amino acids, minerals, and B vitamins to combat fatigue and stress.
The Cloud Clearer (NAD⁺): Enhances mitochondrial energy, focus, and resilience.
The Mother Load (Glutathione): Promotes detoxification, healthy skin, and antioxidant protection.
The Hydrator: Restores electrolytes and hydration for better recovery and vitality.

GLP-1 Therapy: Supports healthy metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and weight balance, particularly when combined with BHRT. Recent research shows that women using BHRT alongside GLP-1 medications experience improved metabolic outcomes and body composition compared to GLP-1 therapy alone.
Each therapy is medically supervised and customized to your goals, working synergistically with hormone optimization for truly comprehensive support.
