Frequently Asked Questions About Menopause and Functional Medicine

Real Answers for Women Seeking Real Relief

If you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, or midlife health challenges and feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice, you’re not alone. At Holistic & Hormonal, we believe informed women make empowered decisions. Below are answers to the most common questions our patients ask.

What Is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is a personalized, systems-based approach that addresses the root causes of health concerns rather than just treating symptoms. It uses in-depth testing, lifestyle analysis, and natural interventions (like targeted supplements, nutrition, and stress management) to help your body heal and function optimally.

How Is Functional Medicine Different from Conventional Menopause Treatment?

What Conditions and Symptoms Do You Commonly Treat?

We work with women experiencing:

⋅ Perimenopause and menopause symptoms

⋅ Postpartum hormone imbalance

⋅ Chronic fatigue and burnout

⋅ Insomnia and sleep disruption

⋅ Brain fog, memory issues

⋅ Weight gain and metabolic changes

⋅ PMS, irregular periods, and mood shifts

⋅ Gut issues related to hormones (bloating, cravings, constipation)

Do I Have to Be in Menopause to Work With You?

No. Many of our clients are in their late 30s to early 50s and experiencing hormonal symptoms even though their periods haven’t stopped. If you’re feeling “off,” there’s a good chance something is out of balance—and we can help uncover it.

Do You Prescribe Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy (HRT)?

Yes—if it’s appropriate for your case. We take a balanced, evidence-informed approach to HRT. We may recommend it based on your lab results, risk profile, and preferences, but it’s never the first or only option. We also work with clients who want non-hormonal approaches to menopause care.

What Can I Expect From My First Consultation?

We start with a Free Hormonal Reboot Consultation, a 15-minute virtual call where we review your main concerns and share what’s possible through our approach. If you choose to move forward, we’ll complete in-depth intake forms and lab testing, followed by a 60-minute review and a detailed, personalized care plan.

Are Labs Included in the Program?

Labs are recommended but not always required. We’ll talk with you about the most relevant testing for your case—this may include hormone panels, gut health tests, thyroid labs, and metabolic markers. Some labs may be covered by insurance; others are paid out of pocket.

Can I Work With You Virtually?

Yes. We serve clients throughout New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Maine, and Virginia via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth. Our full program and follow-ups are available online, making it easy to get the care you need without travel.

Do You Accept Insurance?

We do not bill insurance directly, but we can provide you with a superbill for possible reimbursement depending on your plan. We accept HSA/FSA payments and offer clear package pricing to help you plan your care investment.

How Long Does It Take to See Results?

Many clients start feeling better within the first 4–6 weeks. Results vary depending on the severity of your symptoms, your starting health, and your consistency with the plan. The goal isn’t just quick relief—it’s long-term healing.
