Menopause is a natural stage of life, but for many women, the symptoms are anything but easy. At Patients Medical in New York City, we understand that menopause is more than hormonal changes—it’s a whole-body transformation. Our integrative approach combines conventional medicine with holistic therapies to ease the transition, rebalance the body, and restore quality of life.
What Is Menopause?
Menopause marks the end of a woman’s menstrual cycles, confirmed after 12 consecutive months without a period. Typically occurring between ages 45–55, it results from a natural decline in reproductive hormones.
Functional medicine identifies contributing factors to difficult menopause transitions:
We design hormone-supportive diets to balance estrogen, reduce inflammation, and support liver detox. These may include Mediterranean diets, phytoestrogen-rich foods like flax and lentils, and avoidance of inflammatory triggers like sugar and gluten. Personalized plans help ease hot flashes, bloating, and weight gain while stabilizing mood and energy.
Our BHRT uses customized bioidentical hormones that mimic the body’s natural chemistry. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are prescribed in individualized dosages based on lab testing. This therapy alleviates night sweats, low libido, mood swings, and bone loss while minimizing risks through close monitoring and safe delivery methods such as creams, patches, or troches.
We incorporate evidence-based botanicals like black cohosh, maca, ashwagandha, vitex, and adaptogens. These herbs regulate estrogen levels, reduce anxiety, and support adrenal resilience. We also supplement nutrients like magnesium, B6, and omega-3s to address common deficiencies and reduce symptoms. All supplements are physician-selected and monitored for safety and effectiveness.
We offer acupuncture, meditation coaching, and stress-reducing herbs to regulate cortisol and enhance sleep quality. Hormone imbalances are often worsened by poor sleep and stress, so our goal is to help restore circadian rhythms and emotional balance naturally. These interventions improve quality of life and help manage anxiety, depression, and fatigue
Menopause can increase the risk of osteoporosis and heart disease. Our protocols include bone-supportive nutrients like calcium, vitamin D3, vitamin K2, and weight-bearing exercise plans. We monitor lipid panels and inflammatory markers to ensure cardiovascular wellness. This proactive care helps prevent long-term complications and supports healthy aging.
To address vaginal dryness, thinning tissues, and pain during intimacy, we offer natural estrogen creams, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, and laser rejuvenation. These treatments restore elasticity, improve circulation, and increase moisture without systemic hormone use. They enhance intimacy and urinary health while promoting comfort and confidence.
Lisa, 48, came to us struggling with mood swings, insomnia, hot flashes, and fatigue. Testing showed low estrogen, adrenal dysfunction, and vitamin B6 deficiency. We implemented BHRT, adrenal adaptogens, nutrient IVs, and a tailored diet. Within 8 weeks, her energy returned, sleep normalized, and hot flashes decreased by 80%. After 3 months, she felt better than she had in years.
