Menopause is a natural transition that all women go through as they age. It marks the end of a woman's reproductive years and is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. The years leading up to menopause are called perimenopause and this is when women start experiencing changes related to hormone fluctuations.
Some of the most common symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause include:
These symptoms occur because estrogen levels start to decline as a woman gets closer to menopause. Estrogen plays an important role in regulating the menstrual cycle and also impacts many other systems in the body. As estrogen drops, it leads to the physical and emotional changes of menopause.
While menopause is a natural process, it can significantly impact a woman's quality of life. Thankfully, there are effective treatment options available, including hormone therapy. The Hormone Hub provides individualized care and hormone therapy programs to help women navigate menopause comfortably.

Declining estrogen is the main driver of menopause symptoms. We offer bioidentical estrogen in several forms including pills, patches, gels and vaginal inserts. Benefits may include:
We'll determine the optimal type, dose, and delivery method of estrogen based on your labs, health status, symptom response, and preferences. Estrogen is often used in combination with progesterone.

We offer bioidentical progesterone in capsule, gel, or topical cream form dosed to keep levels in the optimal range.
Testosterone isn't just important for men's health. Declining testosterone in women leads to symptoms like low libido, fatigue, and loss of muscle mass. We can measure testosterone levels and provide bioidentical topical testosterone to:
We carefully monitor testosterone therapy to maintain youthful levels that reduce symptoms without causing unwanted side effects.
In addition to hormone therapy, making certain lifestyle adjustments can help you manage menopausal symptoms and feel your best during this transition. Our team provides personalized recommendations on:
Diet and Nutrition - We'll advise nutritional strategies to help minimize hot flashes, promote hormonal balance, support bone health, and manage weight. This may include limiting caffeine, alcohol and spicy foods, focusing on heart-healthy fats and produce, and strategic use of soy, fiber and supplements.
Exercise - Regular physical activity is key to easing menopause symptoms and providing cardiovascular benefits. We'll recommend routines to boost mood, energy and sleep, strengthen bones, and control weight. Walking groups, yoga studios, recreational sports leagues, and gyms in the Fullerton area we can refer you to include:
Stress Relief - Techniques like mindfulness, deep breathing, massage and acupuncture can counteract stress and anxiety related to hormone fluctuations. We have tips for local spas, meditation workshops, and acupuncturists to help you find your zen.
