At Elysium Aesthetics and Wellness, we understand that perimenopause can be a challenging time for many women. As you approach menopause, your body undergoes significant hormonal changes that can affect both physical and emotional well-being. Our provider is dedicated to helping you navigate this transition with expert care, support, and effective treatments designed to ease symptoms and restore balance.

Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, typically starting in a woman’s 40s, though it can begin earlier. During this time, the ovaries gradually produce less estrogen, and menstrual cycles become irregular. These hormonal shifts can result in a wide range of symptoms that affect daily life.

The symptoms of perimenopause vary greatly from woman to woman, but common signs include:

• Irregular periods (changes in frequency, duration, and flow)
• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Sleep disturbances, including insomnia or waking up frequently at night
• Mood swings or irritability
• Fatigue and low energy levels
• Vaginal dryness and discomfort during intercourse
• Decreased libido
• Memory problems or difficulty concentrating (sometimes referred to as “brain fog”)
• Headaches or migraines
• Weight gain or changes in body composition
• Joint and muscle pain

These symptoms can vary in intensity and duration, but with the right care, they can be managed effectively.

At Elysium Aesthetics and Wellness, we provide a comprehensive, holistic approach to managing perimenopause and its symptoms. Our provider is here to guide you through this transition with personalized treatment plans designed to restore balance, improve quality of life, and help you feel your best at every stage of life.

Our treatments for perimenopause include:

1. Hormonal Therapy (Bioidentical Hormones): For women who experience severe symptoms, we offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). BHRT uses hormones that are chemically identical to those produced by your body to restore hormonal balance and alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness.
2. Non-Hormonal Treatments: If you prefer to avoid hormonal therapy, we offer effective non-hormonal alternatives such as herbal supplements, and more to help manage symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and anxiety.
3. Nutritional Support: A healthy, balanced diet plays a crucial role in managing perimenopausal symptoms. We provide personalized nutrition plans to support hormone balance, boost energy, and reduce symptoms like weight gain, bloating, and fatigue.
4. Stress Management & Mindfulness: Managing stress is key during perimenopause, as it can exacerbate symptoms like mood swings and sleep disturbances. 
5. Exercise and Fitness Guidance: Staying active during perimenopause can help manage weight gain, improve mood, and reduce stress. We offer a basic work out plan to strengthen the body, increase flexibility, and improve overall wellness.
6. Mental Wellness Support: Perimenopause can bring emotional challenges, including mood swings and irritability. We can refer you for counseling and therapy to help you navigate these emotional shifts, improve mental clarity, and support your overall well-being.

As you reach menopause, the body experiences a natural decline in hormone production, leading to changes that can affect your physical, emotional, and mental health. Our goal is to help you navigate these changes and maintain a healthy, vibrant lifestyle during this important phase of life.

Menopause marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years, occurring when the ovaries stop producing eggs and the production of estrogen and progesterone declines. It is officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. Menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, though it can vary from woman to woman. The transition can begin earlier or later, and the symptoms can last for several years.

The symptoms of menopause can vary greatly from woman to woman, but common symptoms include:

• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Irregular periods leading up to menopause
• Vaginal dryness and discomfort during intercourse
• Decreased libido or sexual desire
• Sleep disturbances (insomnia or waking up frequently)
• Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety
• Fatigue and reduced energy levels
• Memory problems or "brain fog"
• Weight gain or changes in body composition
• Dry skin and thinning hair
• Increased risk of osteoporosis or bone thinning
• Joint pain and stiffness

These symptoms are caused by hormonal fluctuations and can vary in intensity, but with the right treatment plan, they can be managed effectively.

At Elysium Aesthetics and Wellness, we offer a comprehensive approach to managing menopause symptoms. Our team of experts provides personalized care tailored to your unique needs, helping you feel balanced, empowered, and comfortable as you transition through menopause.

Our treatments for menopause include:

1. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT): BHRT uses hormones that are chemically identical to those your body produces, helping to restore balance and alleviate menopause symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. We offer customized hormone therapy plans to fit your specific needs.
2. Non-Hormonal Alternatives: For women who prefer to avoid hormonal treatments, we provide effective non-hormonal options such as herbal supplements, and lifestyle changes. These options can help manage symptoms like hot flashes, anxiety, and sleep issues.
3. Osteoporosis and Bone Health Support: With the decline in estrogen during menopause, bone density can decrease, leading to an increased risk of osteoporosis. 
4. Stress Management and Mental Health Support: Menopause can bring about emotional changes such as anxiety, depression, or mood swings. 
5. Skin and Hair Care: Menopause can affect the skin and hair, leading to dryness, thinning hair, and a loss of elasticity. We offer anti-aging treatments and supplement recommendations, to address these concerns and help you maintain a youthful appearance.

Adrenal fatigue occurs when the adrenal glands, which are responsible for producing essential hormones like cortisol, become overworked and unable to function optimally. This can happen as a result of chronic stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, or other lifestyle factors that strain your body over time. As a result, the body’s ability to manage stress, regulate energy levels, and maintain balance is compromised. This inevitably begins to effect other hormones.

Symptoms vary depending on whether your cortisol levels are high or low however some common symptoms include:

• Chronic tiredness, even after a full night’s sleep
• Difficulty getting out of bed in the morning
• Craving salty or sugary foods
• Difficulty handling stress
• Low energy, especially in the afternoons
• Sleep disturbances (e.g., waking up during the night)
• Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
• Weakened immune system, leading to frequent illness
• Hormonal imbalances, such as irregular periods or reduced libido

At Elysium Aesthetics and Wellness, we offer personalized treatments to help restore adrenal health and improve your overall well-being. Our expert team utilizes a combination of cutting-edge therapies, lifestyle modifications, and natural supplements to help support and rejuvenate the adrenal glands.

Our adrenal fatigue treatments are personalized and may include:

1. Hormonal Balancing: Through targeted hormone therapy, we help restore optimal levels of key hormones, including cortisol, to bring your body back into balance.
2. Supplements and Natural Remedies: We use scientifically backed, natural supplements to support adrenal function and enhance energy levels.
3. Lifestyle Coaching: Our wellness experts will guide you in making lasting changes to improve your sleep, manage stress, dietary adjustments, and cultivate a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
