Menopause is a natural transition that all women experience as they reach middle age. It marks the end of a woman's reproductive years and is diagnosed after 12 months without a menstrual cycle. The average age of menopause is 51, but it can occur earlier or later for some women.
As a woman approaches menopause, her body produces less of the key female hormones - estrogen and progesterone. This decline is associated with bothersome symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, trouble sleeping, and more. There are various menopause treatment options available to help manage symptoms, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
HRT involves taking small doses of hormones like estrogen, progesterone or testosterone to help supplement what the body no longer makes on its own after menopause. When done properly and under medical supervision, HRT can be a safe and effective approach for relieving menopause symptoms and promoting overall health and wellbeing.
The experts at Vitality Balance Clinic offer personalized menopause treatment plans to help women in Coconut Creek and surrounding areas thrive during this transition. We provide cutting-edge therapies, integrative care, nutritional advice and emotional support so patients can continue living their best lives after menopause.
The first step in developing an appropriate menopause treatment plan is confirming that a woman has gone through menopause and then testing her individual hormone levels.
At Vitality Balance Clinic, we utilize advanced medical technologies and assessments to accurately evaluate a woman's menopausal status and determine if she's a candidate for HRT:
Understanding a woman's specific hormone deficiencies and menopausal symptoms allows our menopause specialists to develop customized regimens incorporating the appropriate hormones at the optimal doses. We re-test hormones levels throughout treatment to ensure effectiveness.
Bioidentical hormone replacement aims to supplement the exact hormones that naturally occur in the female body. The hormones are chemically identical on a molecular level but derived from natural plant sources.
At Vitality Balance Clinic, our menopause doctors specialize in bioidentical HRT which we believe offers the best safety profile and ability to truly normalize hormones according to a woman's individual needs.
We provide bioidentical versions of key hormones including:
Thoughtful combinations of bioidentical hormones can be tailored to address each woman's bothersome menopause concerns whether they be hot flashes, genitourinary problems, sleep disruption, weight gain, low libido or mood instability.
In addition to bioidentical HRT, we also provide dietary and lifestyle guidance to support the effectiveness of hormone therapy and help women thrive through menopause.
Stress management techniques like yoga, meditation, counseling and mindfulness can help ease menopause transition and stabilize mood. We collaborate with specialists across Coconut Creek.
Nutritional optimization is key - we offer personalized advice focused on incorporating soy foods, flax seeds, omega 3s and other elements that facilitate hormone balance. Vitamins/supplements like black cohosh, magnesium and vitamin E may also augment treatment.
Getting quality sleep , regular exercise and social support have all been shown to improve women's experience with menopause and HRT outcomes. We offer pragmatic tips to make healthy adjustments.
Studies show that cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps change thinking patterns and behaviors, can be as effective as hormone therapy for reducing hot flashes and night sweats during menopause. This non-pharmacological approach also improves mood and quality of life.

Menopause is defined as the permanent cessation of menstrual periods, determined retrospectively after 12 months without a menstrual cycle. It marks the end of a woman's reproductive lifespan as ovarian function declines and estrogen/progesterone production decreases. Most women reach menopause around age 51.
As the body produces less estrogen, women may experience various physical and emotional signs including:
Degree of symptoms varies significantly - some women just experience mild discomfort while others have substantial disruptions to quality of life from menopause changes.
There are a range of options available to help manage menopause, including:

Bioidentical hormone therapy aims to supplement the exact hormones that naturally occur in - and are essential for - the female body.
