Peri-Menopause & Menopause Care

At Metrobest Health, we specialize in hormone therapy to help women manage symptoms of menopause, peri-menopause, PCOS, and other hormonal imbalances. Our team provides customized treatment plans to support your health at every stage of life

Peri-menopause is the phase where estrogen production drops, causing hormone imbalance and various symptoms that can affect well-being in a significant way. Peri-menopause typically lasts 4 to 8 years and is marked by changes in menstrual cycle regularity and the onset of symptoms like mood swings, worsening anxiety, insomnia, and hot flashes that can vary in intensity from woman to woman.

One year after the final menstrual period marks the beginning of menopause. For some women, this transition can also be the peak of their symptoms, requiring tailored management and support​.

MetroBest Health Services offers hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to replace and balance your hormones. We offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), aligning hormones to your own, easing symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, anxiety, insomnia, vaginal dryness and low libido.

For those facing menopause, we provide personalized menopause care solutions, including lifestyle coaching and hormone replacement therapy. Our approach helps reduce symptoms and supports long-term health.

Our certified registered nurse practitioner uses only bio-identical hormones to help you feel your best mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Hormonal Weight Gain

Our hormone therapy services address various conditions, including menopause care, PCOS management, and andropause. We take a functional approach to balance hormones and improve quality of life.

Hormones regulate many body functions, including metabolism, mood, and reproduction.

Hormonal imbalance occurs when there is too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream. The imbalances can affect anyone, but they are more common during puberty, peri-menopause/menopause, and andropause (male menopause). These imbalances can also result from medical conditions like thyroid disorders, PCOS, and insulin resistance.

Hormonal imbalances can cause insulin resistance, making it difficult to manage blood sugar. This is common in conditions like PCOS and often leads to increased abdominal fat.

As women age, especially during menopause, progesterone levels naturally decline. This can cause bloating, water retention, and increased fat storage, leading to weight gain. Estrogen levels can also fluctuate due to perimenopause, menopause, or conditions like PCOS. High estrogen may cause fat storage in the hips and thighs, while low estrogen often leads to increased abdominal fat.

Our PCOS management program includes hormone testing and individualized care to address common symptoms, such as weight gain, acne, and irregular cycles. We work closely with each client to create a plan that fits their needs.

Hypothyroidism slows down metabolism due to low thyroid hormone levels, leading to weight gain, fatigue, and difficulty losing weight, even with a healthy diet and exercise. Chronic stress raises cortisol levels. Elevated cortisol promotes fat storage, especially around the abdomen and increases cravings for high-calorie foods.

Achieve lasting results with our medical weight loss programs, which incorporate lifestyle coaching, nutritional guidance, and metabolic health support. Our programs are tailored to address issues such as insulin resistance and hormone imbalance.

Addressing the root causes of hormonal imbalances is key to managing weight gain effectively. If you are ready for relief and a return to balance, schedule your visit online now.
