Hormone-Free

Menopause Support

For women who want to minimize the symptoms of menopause, without the use of hormone therapy

Why Hormone-Free Menopause Support?

Many women choose to treat their perimenopause and menopause symptoms without the aid of hormone therapy. This may be due to a personal or family history of certain medical conditions, or personal or religious preferences.


Regardless of which avenue you choose - to use menopausal hormone therapy or not - I encourage you to seek support for your symptoms if they are interfering with your quality of life. Women do not need to suffer when there are so many options available.

Options For Non-Hormonal Menopause Support

Nutrition
This is where I always start, even for women who choose hormone therapy. The foods you eat are directly tied to symptom severity, and a bit of tweaking of a woman's diet is often enough to make dramatic improvements in how she feels.
Exercise
Research shows improvements in many menopause-related symptoms when women are physically active. Additionally, certain types of exercise are massively beneficial to a woman's long-term health and wellness. I review every patient's lifestyle and fitness regimen, and make recommendations that are accessible and beneficial.
Stress-Management
There can be no doubt that stressed out women have more severe symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Studies show many stress-reduction techniques to be effective for symptom relief. I provide tools for my patients to use, make referrals when necessary, and support mental health through sleep optimization and nutrient therapy.
Herbal & Supplement Recommendations
When diet, exercise, and stress management aren't enough, I turn to the safe and reliable herbs and supplements that women have been using for generations. These are carefully chosen for each individual, with their goals and symptoms in mind.

The Naturopathic Approach to Menopause Treatment

These are just some of the ways I support women through menopause and beyond. Naturopathic medicine is whole-person care, centered on the needs of the individual. You are not your symptoms, and treatment is not limited to the prescription pad. If you are not sure which route to take, schedule a visit for a full health assessment to get all your quesitons answered and personalized recommendations.

From our very first meeting, I was blown away by Dr. Alisha's depth of knowledge, passion and no-nonsense approach to helping women navigate the often murky waters of hormone health. There is so much conflicting information and stigma around perimenopause and menopause and each woman's journey is so personal. Having Dr. Alisha in my corner was a game changer for me. I feel so educated and empowered to navigate the road ahead with confidence, to advocate for my physical and mental health, and feel my best.
