Menopause is a natural and empowering transition in a woman’s life that marks the end of her reproductive years and the beginning of a new phase of vitality and wisdom. While we believe you should celebrate and find empowerment through menopause, the transition can bring on an overwhelming wave of symptoms: fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disruptions, and more. But, you don’t have to deal with symptoms like these. With proper guidance from a functional medicine provider, menopause can be full of positivity and none of the negative symptoms.
Why Functional Medicine is Ideal During Menopause
Functional medicine searches for the why behind your menopause symptoms. Every woman also experiences menopause differently, which is why our providers work to uncover the root causes behind your unique symptoms. At B12 LOVE, we consider the whole picture: hormone fluctuations, adrenal function, stress response, nutrient levels, and lifestyle. This integrative approach allows us to create personalized plans that support your body’s natural balance and vitality.
Functional medicine providers at B12 LOVE take the time to listen and collaborate with you—something often missing in conventional care. Whether you’re perimenopausal, menopausal, or postmenopausal, our team can guide you through this transition with the tools and therapies you need to feel empowered, not exhausted.
Advanced Insights into Hormone Health with B12 LOVE Testing
One of the most effective tools we use for understanding your hormonal landscape is DUTCH testing (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones). Unlike standard blood panels, DUTCH testing provides an in-depth analysis of your hormone production, metabolism, and clearance—giving a full view of how your body is functioning.
The DUTCH Test helps pinpoint imbalances in estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, DHEA, and testosterone, as well as how your body breaks down and eliminates hormones. This information is vital during menopause, when hormone levels are fluctuating unpredictably and symptoms may seem unrelated. With insights from DUTCH testing, your B12 LOVE functional medicine provider can develop a targeted treatment plan to support hormone balance, improve energy, stabilize mood, and promote restful sleep.
DUTCH testing can also provide valuable information on:
- Cortisol patterns, to address fatigue and stress
- Melatonin production, to support sleep and circadian rhythm
- Organic acid markers, for insights into neurotransmitters and nutrient needs
