Perimenopause is the transitional phase before menopause. It can last several years and includes hormonal shifts that affect mood, cycle, energy, and more—often before periods fully stop.
Perimenopause is often talked about like a mystery, but it doesn’t have to feel that way. If your cycles are changing, your moods feel off, or your energy just isn’t the same, you’re not alone. Perimenopause is a powerful transition, and we’re here to help you move through it with clarity, balance, and support that actually makes sense for your body.
Perimenopause is the 5–10 year shift leading up to menopause, and it’s one of the most overlooked (and under-supported) seasons of a woman’s life. Our approach blends the data-backed tools of functional medicine with the cyclical wisdom of Chinese medicine to help you feel steady in the midst of change.
Whether you’re struggling with mood swings, heavy periods, or unexpected fatigue, we’ll start by running functional labs to understand what’s going on beneath the surface. From there, we build a personalized plan that may include nutrition, lifestyle shifts, nervous system support, and (if you’re local to Milwaukee) acupuncture or integrative therapies. The goal is to regulate your hormones, support your energy, and help you reconnect with your body without guessing or gaslighting.
...you’re not alone. Most care models focus on symptoms (not systems), and they often miss the full picture and rely on generalized protocols that don’t work for everyone.
Together, these two systems allow us to see the whole you. Not just your ovaries. Not just your labs. But your stress, your digestion, your sleep, your cycle, your energy, your resilience and everything in between.
