What Is Difference
Between Perimenopause and  Menopause?  

Menopause is officially diagnosed when you’ve gone 12 consecutive months without a period. For most women, this occurs around age 51

Perimenopause is the natural transition leading up to menopause. It often begins in your late 30s or 40s — sometimes without warning — and can last for several years. During this time, hormone levels (especially estrogen and progesterone) fluctuate, which can cause a wide range of symptoms.

Whether you’re just starting to notice irregular cycles or well past menopause, it’s never too early (or too late) to get support.

Symptoms We Can Help You Manage

Hormonal shifts affect every system in the body — which means
perimenopause and menopause can show up in many ways.
Some of the most common symptoms:
  • Irregular or heavy periods
  • Hot flashes or night sweats
  • Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
  • Sleep disruptions
  • Low libido or vaginal dryness
  • Brain fog and trouble concentrating
  • Weight gain or stubborn belly fat
  • Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest

Benefit from personalized evaluations, ensuring that every aspect of your health is considered in crafting your care plan.

Dr. Colleen offer insightful guidance on lifestyle changes, and, when possible, natural therapies tailored to your unique health profile.

                       Care — Not a One-Size-Fits-All Plan

As a licensed primary care physician and naturopathic doctor, Dr. Colleen combines conventional medicine with root-cause exploration to get to the heart of your symptoms. She listens, investigates, and tailors your care plan to fit your body — not just your age.
