Menopause is a natural phase in every woman’s life, but the symptoms can vary greatly and disrupt daily activities. In New York City, at Patients Medical, we believe in addressing the root causes of menopausal symptoms rather than just managing them temporarily. Our integrative approach blends conventional medicine with holistic and functional treatments to support women through this life transition, helping them feel balanced, vibrant, and energized.
We treat the whole person—not just the symptoms.
Menopause is the natural biological process that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, characterized by a decrease in the production of estrogen and progesterone. These hormonal changes often result in a variety of symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, and mood changes.
While menopause is a universal experience, the severity and duration of symptoms vary among women. Common symptoms include:
If you experience these symptoms, schedule a diagnostic evaluation.
In functional medicine, we aim to uncover the root causes behind menopausal symptoms, which may include:
At Patients Medical, we offer comprehensive testing to better understand the root causes of your symptoms. These include:
We personalize nutrition plans to support hormonal balance and reduce menopause symptoms. Our approach may include:
For women with severe symptoms, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help restore hormonal balance. We also optimize thyroid function to support overall well-being during menopause.
Managing stress is key to easing menopause symptoms. Our integrative care includes:
We recommend a variety of herbal supplements that are evidence-based and have been shown to support menopause symptoms, including:
Hormonal changes during menopause can contribute to weight gain, especially around the abdomen. We offer medically supervised weight management programs that incorporate:
Jessica, age 49, came to us complaining of constant hot flashes, irritability, and fatigue. After testing, we found that her estrogen levels were significantly low, and she was dealing with high cortisol due to stress. We crafted a 3-month integrative treatment plan with:
After three months, Jessica’s hot flashes reduced by 70%, her mood stabilized, and she experienced a notable improvement in her sleep quality, all without relying on prescription medications.
Yes, many women find relief from menopause symptoms through natural therapies, including dietary changes, stress reduction techniques, herbal supplements, and acupuncture.
Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) can be an effective option for women with severe symptoms, and when used under medical supervision, it is considered safe and well-tolerated by many.
Yes, even if you are on hormone therapy, integrating lifestyle changes, stress management, and targeted nutritional supplements can further help reduce symptoms and improve your overall well-being.
The timeline for seeing results varies by individual. Many women begin to experience symptom relief within a few weeks, but full benefits may take 2-3 months depending on the treatment plan.
A balanced, anti-inflammatory diet rich in phytoestrogens, healthy fats, and essential vitamins can help reduce hot flashes, mood swings, and other menopause symptoms. Proper nutrition supports hormone balance and overall health.
Yes, acupuncture has been shown to reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flashes, improve sleep, and alleviate stress, all of which are common concerns during menopause.
Chronic stress increases cortisol levels, which can worsen hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. Managing stress through techniques like meditation, acupuncture, and adaptogenic herbs can improve menopause symptoms.
While weight gain is common during menopause due to hormonal changes, it is not inevitable. A personalized weight management plan, including diet and exercise, can help prevent or reverse weight gain and support a healthy metabolism.
Yes, most women can continue their regular activities while undergoing holistic menopause treatments. Our integrative care is designed to complement your daily life, helping you feel better without requiring a major lifestyle change.
Menopause is typically diagnosed based on your age, symptoms, and menstrual history. Blood tests may be used to measure hormone levels, confirming menopause and guiding treatment decisions.
