Under active Thyroid & Adrenals can result in debilitating fatigue and a sluggish metabolism with weight gain. When you have a sluggish metabolism, you are not able to break down food and convert to energy. You gain weight and are not able to use nutrients for cellular processes that can result in fatigue. The thyroid controls metabolism and is your thermostat. You typically feel cold with an under active thyroid.

Integrative Medicine combines the best of both worlds, conventional medicine and evidence based natural therapies. Perimenopause and menopause are natural life changes with the average age of 50-52 and range of 37-55 years old. For most women, perimenopause begins in their 40’s. The perimenopausal period is a transitional time where hormone levels fluctuate prior to when women completely stop menstruating. Surgical menopause, a hysterectomy, where both ovaries have been removed induces sudden and total menopause. A woman may notice an irregularity in her period which is no longer an exact 28-day cycle and where she misses periods for months or has long periods.
Our VIP doctors can address these transitions through perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause, which can stabilize and restore well being with integrative therapies.
