Understanding the Hormonal Transition
Perimenopause and menopause represent natural phases in a woman’s life, but the accompanying symptoms don’t have to be overwhelming. Dr. Felton uses comprehensive hormone testing to understand your unique hormonal profile and creates personalized treatment plans that may include herbal medicine to support hormonal balance and reduce symptoms, nutritional therapy to address nutrient deficiencies and support overall health, bioidentical hormone therapy when appropriate for symptom relief, and lifestyle modifications to support better sleep, stress management, and overall wellness.
Empowered Care for a New Phase of Life
Our approach to menopause care extends beyond symptom management to focus on long-term health and vitality. We address concerns about bone health and osteoporosis prevention, cardiovascular health support during hormonal changes, brain health and cognitive function, sexual wellness and intimacy, and weight management during metabolic changes.

Perimenopause & Menopause FAQs
What's the difference between perimenopause and menopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional period before menopause when hormone levels fluctuate, often beginning in a woman’s 40s and lasting several years. Menopause is officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period, typically occurring around age 51.
Can natural treatments really help with hot flashes?
Yes! Herbal medicines, nutritional support, and lifestyle modifications can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flashes without the risks of conventional hormone therapy. Our natural approaches are often highly effective for managing menopausal symptoms.
Do you use bioidentical hormones?
When appropriate, Dr. Felton may recommend bioidentical hormones as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes nutrition, herbs, and lifestyle support. We carefully evaluate each patient to determine if bioidentical hormone therapy is right for their situation.
How early can perimenopause symptoms start?
Perimenopause can begin in the 40s or even late 30s for some women. Early symptoms include irregular periods, mood changes, sleep disturbances, brain fog, and changes in energy levels. The earlier you address these symptoms, the more effectively we can support you through the transition.
Will I gain weight during menopause?
While hormonal changes can affect metabolism and body composition, weight gain isn’t inevitable. Our comprehensive approach includes nutritional guidance, lifestyle strategies, and hormone support to help maintain a healthy weight during this transition.
How long do menopausal symptoms last?
The duration varies for each woman, but with proper support, symptoms can be significantly reduced. Our natural treatments help minimize both the intensity and duration of menopausal symptoms while supporting your overall health and vitality.
