We know you have tried EVERYTHING to help perimenopause symptoms

Published 7 months ago • 2 min read

​

We know you have tried it ALL. The cleanses. The restrictive diets. "Hormone balancing" supplements. Intense cardio. Purchased books. Listened to podcasts.

Maybe you have even experimented with increasing protein.

But you still aren't getting anywhere.

The next step isn't more guessing.

There are several things at play when working on peri to post menopause care:

➡️ Gut health

➡️ Mind set

➡️ Declining hormones and fluctuations (obviously)

➡️ Lack of real nervous system support

➡️ Mineral repletion

➡️ Targeted supplements and HRT when ready

So how do we do this?

  1. We target the nervous system first because it sets the pace for healing
  2. Mind set is sooo important. You have to imagine yourself feeling better and this step cannot be missed
  3. Mineral testing via HTMA. Minerals are spark plugs for the cells and run the body. We consider this foundational to your health
  4. Targeted testing and the right supplements. You know us by now, we don't do restrictive diets and 20+ supplements.
  5. Discuss the nuances of HRT and guide you to the right practitioners
  6. Personalized plan based on labs/mineral testing and your body
  7. An expert on your side who understands the physiology of peri to post menopause

You cannot see improvements in your symptoms if you haven't addressed your nervous system. HRT and/or hormone chaos may become worse, or at the very least, may not work if your gut health isn't addressed.

We have helped hundreds of women feel better and most importantly back to feeling like themselves again by using these exact methods.

And believe it or not, it isn't as hard as your think. But it does require work and intentionality.
​
We understand perimenopause because we are experiencing it alongside you.

Client Wins from Tracy B.

"I signed up with PPW to help manage my perimenopause symptoms. I didn't know where to start and I needed help with my poor sleep, anxiety, brain fog, and weight gain like yesterday. I also wanted a plan that went beyond just helping me in this stage of life. Plus, I loved using the mineral testing because it was so easy to implement and helped me feel better within the first month while we focused on other things. Two months in, I am starting to have more energy, better mental clarity and my anxiety is improving. Honestly, I am feeling more and more like myself again."

With a few tweaks including repleting her minerals, Tracy was able to notice how much better she is feeling and we were able to build her peri to post menopause roadmap.

These results are not by chance or dumb luck. These are achieved through targeted strategies. We know what we are doing and we have helped hundreds of clients achieve incredible wins.

They stopped waiting for things to get better or something new to come along. They took a steps towards mapping out their health to thrive for midlife and beyond.

I am going to share my perimenopause journey and how I didn't even recognize my own symptoms at age 37 (which was around the time this photo was taken). By my late 30s, I had been working in women's health and functional medicine space for about 7 years. So one would think that I would immediately know this was perimenopause...but I didn't. Like so many of us, I assumed my increasing anxiety and poor sleep was related to the typical busy life that comes with family and working.... I knew how...

Below is a round up of common questions asked by our community. Can I take black cohosh or wild yam to balance my hormones? These can help with symptom management but if you are looking for long term management and to prevent potential disease later in life there are no true alternatives that will work like hormones. Perimenopause and menopause are not an ashwagandha or wild yam deficiency. Can I just do menopause naturally? There is no one way to do menopause. Ultimately it depends on your...
