Perimenopause + Menopause
Because you deserve to feel like yourself, through every stage of womanhood.
Perimenopause and menopause aren’t just about hot flashes and skipped periods. They can affect your mood, memory, sleep, energy, skin, metabolism, and more. And yet many women are told to “just wait it out” or accept feeling off.
At Beam Health, we approach this transition with curiosity, compassion, and clinical tools to help you feel grounded and in control, not dismissed or overwhelmed.
Perimenopause can begin in your late 30s or early 40s and last up to 10 years before menopause.
Shifting hormones—especially dropping progesterone and fluctuating estrogen—can cause various physical and emotional symptoms.
Common Symptoms of Perimenopause & Menopause Include:
Fatigue
Mood changes—irritability, sad, angry, anxiety
Sleep disturbances or early waking
Brain fog and poor concentration
Period changes - irregular, flow changes
Hot flashes / night sweats
Weight gain (especially in the midline)
Low libido
Vaginal dryness
Dry skin, hair, nails, eyes
Hair thinning
Worsening PMS

Our Naturopathic Approach to Menopause & Perimenopause
We get it: perimenopause and menopause don’t always look like what you were told to expect. These hormonal shifts can be subtle, messy, and hard to pin down. And in conventional care, they’re often minimized or overlooked altogether.
At BEAM Health, we take a functional, whole-person approach to this transition. We explore how your hormones, thyroid, gut, blood sugar, and nervous system, all influence your hormone balance—so we can help you feel like yourself again.
Our treatment plans are individualized and include:
Comprehensive assessment (intake, history, blood work)
Targeted nutrition and dietary recommendations
Realistic movement/exercise plan
Individualized supplementation or pharmaceuticals or hormone replacement therapy
