MENOPAUSE AND ANDROPAUSE
We understand the unique needs of individuals experiencing menopause and andropause and offer specialized care by our medical team and in collaboration with any specialists.
ANDROPAUSE
Is a condition that occurs in middle-aged and older men when testosterone levels gradually decline. This can lead to various symptoms including reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, weakness, fatigue, loss of stamina, mood changes, loss of muscle mass, and cognitive decline.
MENOPAUSE
Is a point in time when you’ve gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. It happens, on average, at age 52. It’s a natural process that occurs when your ovaries stop producing reproductive hormones. When menopause happens due to surgery or medical treatment, it’s called induced menopause.
PERIMENOPAUSE
Is when your body starts transitioning to menopause. During this transition, your ovaries begin producing less hormones, causing your menstrual cycle to become erratic or irregular. In perimenopause, your body is moving toward the end of your reproductive years. It’s a natural and normal progression, but it comes with both physical and emotional symptoms. Some of these symptoms can disrupt your life or make you uncomfortable.
A FUNCTIONAL APPROACH
Treating menopause and andropause is more than just looking at a set of numbers. In addition to careful monitoring of hormonal blood levels, we evaluate lifestyle factors, genetics, metabolomics, and toxins as they contribute to this condition. “If your roof has 35 holes in it, your house won’t stay dry if you patch up 25 of them” Dr. Maurice Beer
