The transition into menopause can be a challenging time for many women. As estrogen and progesterone levels decline, women may experience uncomfortable symptoms ranging from hot flashes and night sweats to emotional changes, sleep disturbances, and vaginal dryness. Left untreated, these symptoms can significantly impact quality of life.
Fortunately, the certified menopause practitioners at Vitality Hormone Clinic clinic have the knowledge and experience to help women navigate menopause smoothly. We provide customized menopause treatment plans to relieve symptoms and help women feel like their best selves again.
Many women are all too familiar with the sudden onset of hot flashes and severe sweating that can interrupt daily life. Night sweats can also disturb sleep, resulting in exhaustion. Our compassionate menopause specialists understand how debilitating these symptoms can be. We offer both pharmaceutical and natural options to help regulate temperature swings.
Shifting hormones during perimenopause and menopause can trigger mood swings, anxiety, irritability, and depression. We provide counseling, lifestyle changes, stress reduction techniques, and when needed, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to help stabilize emotions. Our goal is to help women overcome mental health challenges for a more positive menopause transition.
Declining estrogen often results in vaginal dryness, itching and burning, light bleeding, more frequent UTIs, and painful intercourse. We offer a variety of localized estrogen treatments, non-hormonal prescription medications, and recommendations for over-the-counter lubricants and moisturizers to help ease discomfort. Our compassionate menopause experts understand this sensitive issue and how it can undermine sexual health. We work discreetly with each woman to find the right solutions.
Between night sweats, anxiety, and hormonal fluctuations, sound sleep is elusive for many women in menopause. However, lack of sleep exacerbates other symptoms. Our multi-modal approach includes sleep hygiene education, counseling for anxiety, natural supplements, and bioidentical hormones to enable restful sleep. We may also refer patients to sleep specialists for additional testing and treatment when necessary. Prioritizing sleep is essential in any menopause treatment plan.
Many women notice extra pounds creeping on despite consistent diet and exercise habits during perimenopause and menopause. Shifting hormones often slow metabolism. We tailor comprehensive nutrition and fitness guidance combined with bioidentical hormones to help women achieve or maintain a healthy weight. Losing excess fat, especially around the midsection, can also help stabilize hormones and relieve other symptoms.
Estrogen plays an important role in bone health. As levels drop during menopause, bone loss accelerates, raising risk for osteoporosis and fractures later in life. Our certified menopause practitioner provides bone density testing, supplements, medications, diet and lifestyle changes essential for building and maintaining bone mass. Starting prevention strategies early optimizes bone health for the long run.
Every woman experiences menopause differently. To meet individual needs, we conduct thorough assessments, order appropriate lab testing, and thoughtfully design a personalized treatment plan. This comprehensive approach is the foundation of our clinic.
After a detailed medical history and physical exam, we determine which labs should be run to uncover underlying hormone imbalances or other issues. Testing may include:
Once results are back, our top-rated menopause specialists interpret them to uncover specific hormone deficiencies and patterns. We then thoughtfully prescribe bioidentical hormones and other therapies perfectly tailored to correct imbalances driving bothersome symptoms.
Follow-up appointments ensure optimal progress is being made. We adjust the treatment plan accordingly if needed. Our individualized care and attention leads to the best possible menopause transition.
No two women experience menopause the same. An approach targeting general menopause symptoms often falls short of satisfactorily resolving issues. However, our personalized prescription of bioidentical hormones combined with nutrition and lifestyle guidance yields optimal relief by addressing the unique hormonal environment of each woman.
Simply running labs without context can lead to misinterpreting subtle patterns that influence symptoms. Our advanced training allows our menopause experts to detect these nuances. We identify deficiencies early for faster resolution of bothersome issues. Interpreting labs precisely is both an art and science perfected by our practitioners.
After thoroughly evaluating symptoms and lab results, we may recommend bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) if indicated. BHRT supplements estrogen, progesterone and testosterone identical on a molecular level to what the female body produces. This allows treatment to precisely target deficiencies driving symptoms.
Unlike traditional hormone replacement using synthetic or animal-derived equivalents, bioidentical hormones:
In short, properly prescribed bioidentical hormones help women feel healthy, vibrant and their best through menopause and beyond.
We start with the lowest effective dose, continually evaluating labs and symptoms before adjusting levels. Close follow up care ensures optimization. Starting with too high a dose circumvents the careful titration needed to find one's unique balance. Patience is key. Most women begin experiencing significant relief around three months into therapy as hormones stabilize.
Our knowledgeable providers guide women through every step of HT treatment. Well-managed hormone therapy empowers women to take charge of their health.
While bioidentical hormones serve an invaluable role, implementing healthy lifestyle strategies optimizes hormonal balance and overall wellbeing:
We provide personalized nutrition guidance focused on optimizing hormonal health through diet. General recommendations include:
Our nutrition plans help women thrive during the menopause transition and beyond.
We provide custom fitness guidance - both cardio and strength training - to help balance hormones, manage weight, reduce cancer risk, support bone density and promote overall health. Even lighter intensity exercise improves insulin sensitivity for better blood sugar regulation equating to steadier energy and mood. Building lean muscle mass also inherently helps stabilize metabolism and hormone levels.
Our fitness recommendations fit seamlessly into any lifestyle to enhance hormone health.
Chronic stress disrupts hormonal pathways worsening menopause symptoms like mood swings, anxiety and disordered sleep. We educate women on managing stress through yoga, meditation, deep breathing, journaling and other relaxation techniques. Stress hormones exacerbate problems already stemming from hormonal imbalance. Guiding women on mitigating stress proves invaluable in menopause treatment.
Our stress reduction training empowers women to take control of their wellbeing for a smoother, happier menopause transition.
Finally, we bring women together in a community of support. Bonding over shared experiences with menopause comforts women they are neither alone nor crazy in what they are going through. We foster connections for empathetic support through all stages of treatment. Vitality Hormone Clinic offers comprehensive care - from advanced hormone testing/treatment to lifestyle strategies for better living tailored to each woman we treat. We partner together on the journey to relief.
Studies show that practicing yoga can help relieve many common menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep problems. Yoga promotes relaxation, improves circulation, and balances hormones - all of which can provide women relief during this transitional life stage without needing medication.

"I cannot adequately express in words how grateful I am to Dr. Stephens. Her listening ear, compassionate and caring demeanor gave me hope during one of the most difficult times I have ever experienced in my 58 years on this earth: menopause. In all honesty, I was at an all time low when I walked through her clinic doors - depressed, anxious and fearful about what was happening to my body and questioning if I could endure the months/years ahead. Within 6 weeks of beginning the specialized hormone treatment Dr. Stephens designed specifically for my body's needs I felt like a new woman - balanced, happy, energetic. It gave me my life back when I felt all was lost. I will forever be thankful to Dr. Stephens! She allowed me to not just survive through menopause but to thrive and feel healthy."
"I was skeptical at first about treating my menopause with hormones. But I quickly understood Dr. Wu's logic in testing my unique imbalances first, then supplementing the deficiencies causing such awful symptoms. With each follow up visit, I could tell her methodical process was working as I steadily regained the zest for living I thought was gone forever in menopause. She expertly adjusted my treatment plan based on exactly how I was responding. Her compassionate care literally turned my life around. I have enthusiastically referred all my friends to her!"
