Beyond “All in Your Head”

As a young, green physician, I quickly learned women after the age of 45 were suffering. Many were thrown on antidepressants and told their moodiness and brain fog were “all in their head.”

Frustrated, I began my studies abroad and earned a Fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine—an Eastern medicine philosophy. I became known as the Eastern-Western blend Doctor, offering new solutions to empower women.

Even without symptoms, hormones control 400+ important functions in the  body which halt when menopause starts.

Menopause is a natural process! Hormonal changes can begin years before menopause and often progress gradually. Many women experience symptoms that are mistakenly attributed to stress, aging, or lifestyle factors.

Common symptoms of hormonal imbalance during perimenopause and menopause include:

  • Fatigue or low energy
  • Hot flashes and night sweats
  • Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
  • Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
  • Poor sleep or insomnia
  • Weight gain or changes in body composition
  • Decreased libido or sexual discomfort
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Hair thinning or hair loss
  • Dry skin or changes in skin texture
  • Joint aches or stiffness
  • Loss of muscle tone
    Decreased bone density

If these symptoms are affecting your quality of life, a comprehensive women’s hormone evaluation with Dr. Kelly and Blaze Burkenstock may be appropriate.

Menopause Society Statement

The Menopause Society position statement of 2022 confirms that hormone therapy remains the most effective treatment for menopausal symptoms.
