Menopause is Inevitable, Suffering is Not!
Finally, a Medical Menopause Specialist Who Listens, Educates, and Empowers.
Real medical treatment, not band-aids.
At Vida, menopause care isn’t about pushing pills or telling you to wait it out. It’s about understanding your full picture and designing medical treatment that evolves with you.
Hormone Therapy (HRT)
If HRT is a good fit for your needs and goals, we prescribe FDA-approved, insurance-covered hormone therapy, sent to your local or mail-order pharmacy. Your safety is always at the center of every treatment plan.
Non-Hormonal Options
Not everyone needs hormones—or wants them. We also guide patients through non-hormonal medications, supplements, and lifestyle strategies backed by current research.
Labs, Imaging & Testing
Need lab work? We’ll coordinate blood draws through LabCorp, Quest, or a lab near you. Imaging like ultrasounds or bone scans? We’ll order those through your local radiology center. You’ll use your insurance to cover testing, just like you would in traditional care.
You’re not imagining your symptoms.
And you’re not alone.
Hot flashes. Mood swings. Brain fog.
Night sweats. Weight gain. Joint pain. Cycle chaos.
Sleep disruption. Low Libido. Vaginal dryness.
If you’re in perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause—and your provider has dismissed or downplayed your symptoms—you’re exactly who we’re here for.
This phase of life can feel overwhelming, and most care systems aren’t built to support you through it. We are.
Menopause Questions & Answers
-
Menopause is a natural part of a woman's life that signifies the conclusion of her reproductive years. Before menopause, there's a stage called perimenopause, which usually happens in the late 40s or early 50s. During perimenopause, the ovaries slowly make fewer hormones mainly estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.. Menopause is confirmed when a woman goes 12 months in a row without having her period, usually around age 51.
-
Perimenopause is the time leading up to menopause. Menopause is actually one day in time, the day when you have not had periods for 12 months. Post menopause is the time after menopause.
If you don’t have periods due to having your uterus removed, uterine ablation or use of an IUD/birth control pills. Then your diagnosis is based on your symptoms, age, possibly your bloodwork, and other factors about your health and family history.

Meet Adrian, Your Partner in Health
As a Physician Assistant, I spent over 15 years helping thousands of patients navigate complex medical challenges—but when I hit perimenopause myself, I quickly realized how broken the system was for women in midlife.
Mood swings, irritability, night sweats, hot flashes followed by freezing chills, sudden intolerance to alcohol.
When I brought it up to my OB-GYN, I was told I was “too young” for hormone therapy. That I couldn’t take hormones if I was still having periods. That wasn’t just frustrating—it was wrong.
Menopause is Hard. Getting the Right Care Should’t Be.
Cut out confusion and outdated advice, make informed decisions and start feeling like yourself again.
