Perimenopause & Menopause Treatment
Perimenopause & Menopause
Functional Medicine in Boulder, CO
This transition deserves more than "it's just your hormones."
Perimenopause can begin a decade before your last period, yet many women are dismissed or undertreated during these years. Hot flashes, night sweats, mood instability, brain fog, sleep disruption, irregular cycles, weight changes, and declining libido are not inevitable inconveniences to be endured. They are signals that your hormonal environment is shifting, and that your body may need support navigating that shift. At Helios, we take this transition seriously and give it the clinical attention it deserves.
Our Approach at Helios
Our approach begins with a thorough hormonal assessment that includes estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, cortisol, and thyroid function. We’re looking not just at a snapshot, but an evaluation of how these hormones are interacting and how they've changed over time. We discuss your symptoms, your history, your risk factors, and your goals. From there, we build a personalized treatment plan that may include bioidentical hormone therapy, lifestyle and nutritional interventions, acupuncture, herbal support, and targeted supplementation. We use evidence-based prescribing and stay current on the evolving research around hormone therapy safety.
Treatment Plans & Outcomes
Menopause is not a disease, but the years surrounding it are a meaningful biological transition that affects your brain, bones, cardiovascular system, and quality of life. You shouldn't have to white-knuckle your way through it. We're here to help you feel like yourself again.
Women's health is a core part of what we do. Schedule a consultation with Deb Breakell, FNP, or Dr. Brunschwig to talk through where you are and what options make sense for you.
“The whole Helios Integrated Medicine team is amazing. Deborah Breakell has guided me through menopause with cutting edge knowledge and tons of compassion.”
