Most menopause care focuses on symptom relief, not longevity. Learn how a precision, hormones-first approach can restore energy, metabolism, brain health, and long-term vitality at any stage of midlife.

I discovered functional medicine by accident, and it changed the way I saw health, symptoms, and the power of listening. But when I started working with women in midlife, I noticed something was missing.

They’d done it all: the detoxes, diets, supplements. And still didn’t feel better. What functional medicine often overlooks is the one thing at the root of it all for women 40 and up: hormones.

Perimenopause caught me off guard, even as a practitioner. If I could start over, here are the 7 things I’d do differently to protect my energy, metabolism, and peace. A must-read for women navigating their 40s.

Most conventional doctors aren’t trained to test for - or treat - these changes. They look for disease, not dysfunction. They rely on broad, outdated lab ranges. You’re told your results are “normal,” but you know that can’t be true. 

There’s a better way. Comprehensive hormone and metabolic testing can tell the real story of what’s happening in your body, and give you a roadmap to feel like yourself again.
