Menopause is a significant life transition that affects every woman, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. While it’s a natural process, the symptoms can be disruptive, impacting physical, emotional, and mental well-being. At Patients Medical in New York City, we understand that menopause is not a one-size-fits-all condition. Our integrative approach combines conventional medicine with holistic, functional, and personalized care to address the root causes of menopause symptoms and help women navigate this phase of life with ease and vitality.
We focus on treating the whole person—not just individual symptoms.
Menopause is defined as the cessation of menstrual cycles for 12 consecutive months. It marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years and typically involves significant hormonal shifts, especially in estrogen and progesterone levels. These hormonal changes can lead to various physical and emotional symptoms that may disrupt daily life.
While menopause is a universal experience, the severity and types of symptoms vary greatly among women. Common symptoms include:
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it’s crucial to seek guidance and treatment to manage them effectively.
In functional medicine, we explore the root causes behind menopause-related symptoms rather than simply masking them. These underlying factors may include:
At Patients Medical, we employ advanced lab tests to understand what’s driving your symptoms and tailor treatments accordingly:
We believe in personalized nutrition plans that help balance hormones and ease menopause symptoms. These may include:
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can be part of the solution for women experiencing severe symptoms related to low estrogen and progesterone. We also optimize thyroid function to address potential thyroid imbalances contributing to menopause symptoms.
Our integrative care includes stress-reducing techniques, such as:
We recommend evidence-based supplements to help balance hormones and ease symptoms, such as:
As hormonal changes can lead to weight gain, we offer personalized weight management plans that promote healthy metabolism and balanced hormones.

Three months later, Sarah’s hot flashes had reduced by 80%, her sleep improved, and she felt revitalized without needing medication.
While menopause is a natural transition, many symptoms can be managed or alleviated through holistic treatments. Lifestyle changes, balanced nutrition, stress management, and hormone balancing therapies can help reduce the intensity of symptoms.
Some women benefit from bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), but many can manage symptoms through diet, supplements, acupuncture, and stress reduction techniques. Your treatment plan will be personalized based on your unique symptoms and health needs.
Yes, many women find relief from hot flashes through natural approaches like stress management, acupuncture, dietary changes, herbal supplements, and hormone balancing treatments. Lifestyle modifications can significantly reduce the severity and frequency of hot flashes.
Certain foods, such as those rich in phytoestrogens (e.g., soy, flaxseeds), can help balance hormones naturally. Additionally, anti-inflammatory diets and nutrient-dense meal plans can reduce inflammation, improve mood, and support hormonal health during menopause.

Absolutely. Chronic stress can exacerbate symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances by increasing cortisol levels. Stress management techniques such as meditation, acupuncture, and adaptogen herbs can help restore balance and reduce stress-related symptoms.
Sleep disturbances are a common symptom of menopause, often due to hot flashes or night sweats. Poor sleep can also worsen mood swings and fatigue. Improving sleep hygiene, using stress reduction methods, and balancing hormones can significantly improve sleep quality during menopause.

Diagnosis is typically based on your age, menstrual history, and symptoms. Hormone panels to measure estrogen and progesterone levels can confirm menopause and help guide treatment plans. Other tests, like thyroid function and cortisol levels, may be used to rule out other conditions.
Yes, some women continue to experience menopause symptoms well into the postmenopausal years. Symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness may persist. A personalized treatment plan can help manage these symptoms effectively.
