Holistic Menopause Management

Menopause is a natural phase of life, marking the end of a woman’s reproductive years. While it is a normal biological process, the accompanying symptoms can significantly affect quality of life. Bailey Health in Kelowna offers comprehensive, personalized solutions to help women navigate menopause with greater comfort and vitality.

Treatment for Menopause Symptoms

Menopause typically occurs in women in their late 40s or early 50s and is marked by the absence of menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months.

This natural transition is often accompanied by hormonal imbalances, particularly a decrease in estrogen and testosterone levels, which can lead to a range of physical and emotional symptoms.

Common symptoms of menopause include hot flashes and night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood changes such as irritability and depression, reduced libido, weight gain and slowed metabolism, and fatigue along with muscle weakness.

Bailey Health’s Approach to Menopause Relief

Our team understands the profound impact menopause can have on daily life. We offer a holistic, patient-centered approach to alleviate symptoms and promote overall well-being. Central to our care are treatments like Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) and lifestyle guidance tailored to individual needs.

1/3

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is designed to restore hormonal balance using hormones that closely mimic the body’s natural ones. This method is particularly effective in addressing the hormonal imbalances that arise during menopause, providing relief from many common symptoms.

2/3

Testosterone Hormone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

While often associated with men, testosterone plays a vital role in women’s health. Decreased levels of this hormone during menopause can lead to fatigue, reduced libido, and muscle weakness. TRT at Bailey Health helps replenish testosterone levels, providing significant relief from these symptoms.

3/3

Holistic Lifestyle Support

We enhance treatment outcomes by focusing on holistic lifestyle support alongside BHRT and TRT. We offer personalized guidance in nutrition, exercise, and stress management. A diet rich in calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D helps alleviate menopause symptoms like fatigue and mood swings, while supporting bone health. Regular exercise strengthens bones, boosts mood, and aids weight management, easing common symptoms like hot flashes. Stress management techniques like yoga and meditation reduce stress and improve mental clarity.

Benefits of Menopause Care

Bailey Health in Kelowna goes beyond traditional treatments to provide a comprehensive approach tailored to women’s unique needs.

Relief from Common Menopause Symptoms

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and testosterone hormone replacement therapy (TRT) are designed to address the hormonal imbalances that trigger common menopause symptoms. BHRT helps restore estrogen and progesterone levels, while TRT replenishes testosterone, alleviating hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and fatigue.

Improved Hormonal Balance

At Bailey Health, our comprehensive approach to menopause care involves restoring hormonal balance through BHRT and TRT. These treatments help bring fluctuating hormones back into alignment, easing symptoms such as mood swings, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.

Enhanced Energy and Libido

Decreased estrogen and testosterone levels during menopause often lead to low energy and diminished libido. By incorporating TRT alongside BHRT, women can experience a significant boost in energy levels and sexual vitality. These therapies work together to replenish the body’s hormones, allowing women to feel more energetic.

Stronger Bones and Healthier Skin

Menopause can contribute to bone density loss, increasing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis. BHRT and TRT help support bone health by balancing hormones like estrogen and testosterone. These therapies promote healthier skin by maintaining collagen production, reducing signs of aging, and improving skin elasticity.

Emotional Stability and Mental Clarity

Hormonal imbalances during menopause often result in irritability, mood swings, and mental fog. Through BHRT and TRT, these hormonal fluctuations are corrected, offering relief from emotional instability.
