The onset of menopause marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. The average age for the last menstrual period is 51, but peri-menopause symptoms can start earlier as hormone levels begin to decline. This natural transition brings physical and emotional changes that can significantly impact quality of life if left untreated. As a menopause clinic staffed by top menopause experts and doctors who treat menopause, Vital Hormones Clinic provides personalized care plans, education, and support to help women thrive through menopause and beyond.
Key signs of peri-menopause and menopause include:
While symptoms vary widely among individuals, prompt treatment can provide immense relief. Our compassionate menopause experts conduct comprehensive exams and testing to uncover any nutritional or hormonal deficiencies contributing to symptoms. We then craft tailored treatment plans to help patients look and feel their best.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) replaces depleted hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone to more youthful levels. Though every woman has a unique hormonal makeup, most significantly benefit from:
Our menopause clinic offers bioidentical hormones which precisely match the body's natural hormones. This makes them safer and more easily metabolized than synthetic versions. We provide HRT in creams, pills, pellets, patches, and injections to fit each patient's needs.
Benefits of our customized hormone therapy include:
While hormone replacement can mitigate menopause symptoms, we emphasize the importance of complementary lifestyle measures to support therapy success. Our experts provide guidance on:
Nutrition: We craft individualized nutrition plans focused on whole, anti-inflammatory foods while limiting processed items. Key diet modifications include upping healthy fats for hormone production, increasing phytoestrogen-rich foods to ease estrogen withdrawal, and balancing blood sugar.
Fitness: Regular exercise benefits hormonal balance and metabolism while alleviating stress. We recommend mindfulness-based workouts like yoga along with HIIT routines while avoiding over-exercising.
Stress Management: From meditation to counseling, we offer diverse stress relief modalities. Lowering high cortisol levels can stabilize hormones, moods, sleep quality, cognition, and more.
Supplements: We utilize specialized nutraceuticals and botanicals to correct individual deficiencies or target specific symptoms without excess supplementation.
Biofeedback: Groundbreaking modalities like ZYTO scans uncover nutritional needs, toxin exposure, undiscovered stressors, and other factors influencing hormone health for treatment customization.
Paired with HRT, these evidence-based lifestyle interventions promote patient success. Our goal is equipping women with the tools and know-how for restoring optimal wellness through menopause and beyond in the supportive Hackettstown community. We take a holistic, personalized approach to foster balanced physical, mental, and emotional health during this transition and into the vibrant latter seasons of womanhood.
Since hormonal balance is highly individualized, proper testing guides the safest, most effective therapies. We utilize advanced diagnostic blood panels, saliva assays, and other screenings to uncover a woman’s unique menopause profile. This includes analysis of:
Testing may reveal vitamin or mineral shortfalls, toxicity exposures, inflammation, insulin resistance, or other issues sabotaging hormone health so they can be corrected. Patients then undergo follow-up tests every 3-6 months to ensure optimal blood levels as the program progresses. We also offer convenient at-home sample collection.
Accurate testing takes the guesswork out of treatment for timely, effective relief without over-supplementation. Patients gain insight into lifestyle adjustments and daily biofeedback promoting lasting balance. We help decode complex testing, explain hormone functions, provide research, and answer all questions.
Acupuncture has been found in several studies to significantly reduce hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms when compared to placebo or no treatment. The effects may last for months after treatment stops, possibly because acupuncture modulates hormones and neurotransmitters involved in regulating body temperature.
Our compassionate menopause experts start by discussing medical histories, symptoms, and goals to pinpoint suitable therapies. Treatment plans integrate hormone replacement, nutrition plans, fitness guidance, stress relief techniques, targeted nutraceuticals, and follow-up testing.
We offer diverse hormone delivery methods allowing patients to discover their ideal option:
Creams - Topical creams suit modest hormone deficits with easy self-application promoting skin health.
Injections - Directly boost blood levels using short/long-acting injections from twice weekly to every 10-12 weeks.
Pellets - Minuscule bioidentical pellets placed under the skin sustain consistent dosing for 3-6 months.
Pills - Oral capsules or sublingual tablets offer effortless daily hormone replenishment.
Patches - Transdermal patches infuse hormones through skin contact changing every 24 hours to weekly.
Dosing starts low then is slowly titrated over months based on follow-up testing and symptom response to reach optimal levels, mimicking the body’s natural rhythms. Patience is needed when beginning HRT as it takes time to restore balance. We provide complimentary consults to ensure comfort with the process and address any questions. Most women quickly report increased energy, joint comfort, mental clarity, resilience to stress, and passion for life.
