Women's Wellness

A New Approach to Women’s Wellness After 50

Women in their 50s often face complex health challenges—menopause, hormonal shifts, fatigue, weight gain, and mood changes. At Patients Medical in New York City, we understand that this stage of life requires more than a standard check-up. Our integrative women’s health approach blends conventional medicine with functional, holistic therapies to help you thrive—not just survive.

We treat the whole woman—not just her symptoms.

What Happens to Women’s Health in Their 50s?

This decade is a time of transition and transformation. With perimenopause and menopause, many women notice changes in:

  • Energy levels
  • Sleep quality
  • Skin, hair, and bone health
  • Libido and mood
  • Metabolism and weight
  • Heart and cognitive function

Hormonal fluctuations affect nearly every system in the body. Unfortunately, many women are told to “just live with it” or are offered a one-size-fits-all solution like synthetic hormones or antidepressants.

We believe there’s a better way.

Common Symptoms Women Face in Their 50s

If you’re experiencing any of the following, you’re not alone:

  • Hot flashes and night sweats
  • Brain fog or memory lapses
  • Low libido or vaginal dryness
  • Weight gain despite diet and exercise
  • Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety
  • Insomnia or disrupted sleep
  • Joint stiffness or muscle pain
  • Fatigue or low energy
  • Thinning hair or dry skin

These are not just “aging symptoms”—they are signs your body needs support.

Root Causes We Investigate

At Patients Medical, we use functional medicine to uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface. Root causes may include:

Advanced Diagnostic Testing We Use

We don’t guess—we test. Our team uses comprehensive labs to uncover hidden imbalances:

Case Study: Lisa’s 50s Reboot

Her customized care plan included:

  • BHRT with progesterone and estradiol
  • Gluten-free, anti-inflammatory nutrition plan
  • Adrenal adaptogen formula
  • Weekly vitamin IVs
  • Gut healing protocol
