October 18 is World Menopause Day, a time to shed light on a stage every woman will experience. Hot flashes are well known, but women may also have fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, brain fog, heart palpitations, depression, night sweats, joint pain, vaginal dryness and low libido.
Menopause is not an ending—it’s a transformation. With the right support, women can thrive.
Perimenopause: It Starts Earlier Than You Think
In the U.S., menopause can occur from 35 to 58, with an average age of 51. The transition often begins earlier as perimenopause, which can start as young as 35. Irregular cycles, anxiety, poor sleep, weight gain and emotional ups and downs are common. Treating perimenopause can ease the transition into menopause.
What is BHRT?
BHRT stands for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. These are hormones that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces. Unlike synthetic options, bioidenticals are designed to work seamlessly with your body’s receptors, restoring balance more safely and effectively.
At Glendale Whole Health, I specialize in BHRT with pellets (patches or creams are available if preferred). Pellets provide consistent, natural hormone support that many women find life-changing.
Why Pellets Are a Game-Changer
Pellets are tiny implants placed just under the skin that release hormones steadily over 3–4 months. Unlike creams or pills, pellets bypass daily fluctuations and deliver a stable dose tailored to your needs.
Benefits may include:
- Fewer hot flashes and night sweats
- Sharper memory with less brain fog
- Calmer mood with less depression
- Better sleep
- More libido and vaginal comfort
- Stronger bones with better heart support
At Glendale Whole Health, doses are individualized and hormone levels are monitored for safety and results.
