How We Treat Perimenopause & Menopause at The Clara Clinic

You deserve more than symptom management.

If you've been waking up at 3am, feeling anxious for no clear reason, or noticing your body changing in ways that don't make sense — you're not imagining it, and you're not alone. Perimenopause can begin in the late 30s and early 40s, long before your period stops. Most people are surprised to learn their symptoms have a hormonal explanation this early.

At The Clara Clinic, our Naturopathic Doctors don't just treat the surface. We combine comprehensive lab testing, thorough intake assessments, lifestyle guidance, and consistent monitoring to understand why you're struggling — and build a plan that's specific to you. Read on to learn about our 5-step Conquering Menopause Program and how we support you every step of the way.

What is Perimenopause & Menopause Anyway?

Your symptoms may have started years before you realized why.

Perimenopause is the hormonal transition leading up to menopause. It typically begins with a decline in progesterone — which can start in your late 30s or early 40s — causing symptoms like sleep disruption, anxiety, mood changes, heightened PMS symptoms, and changes to period patterns. Over time, estrogen levels begin to shift too. This transition can last 7–10 years.

Menopause officially begins after 12 consecutive months without a period, at which point estrogen is fully deficient. But the symptoms often start much earlier — and they can be intense. 

Left untreated, perimenopause and menopause also increase long-term risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and cognitive decline — all of which we work to address proactively as part of your care.

Common Perimenopause & Menopause Symptoms We Treat

Do any of these sound familiar? The symptoms below are among the most common reasons patients come to us. If you're experiencing several of these, your hormones are likely involved — and there's a great deal we can do.

• Waking up at 3am or struggling to stay asleep

• Hot flashes or night sweats

• Anxiety that came out of nowhere, or worsening mood swings

• Weight gain, especially around the belly, despite no major diet changes

• Brain fog, difficulty concentrating, or memory lapses

• Low mood or feeling unlike yourself

• Hair thinning or dry skin

• Vaginal dryness or decreased libido

• Chills or irregular body temperature

Not sure if what you're experiencing is perimenopause? That's exactly what a free 15-minute consult is for.

What To Expect from Naturopathic Perimenopause & Menopause Treatment

A thorough process — not a generic protocol. Whatever symptoms you're dealing with, our naturopathic doctors will take the time to hear you, review your full health picture, and explain exactly what's going on in your body. Our goal is not just to reduce your symptoms, but to help you feel genuinely in control — with a clear, realistic plan you can actually live with.

We also look ahead. Perimenopause and menopause increase the risk of several long-term health concerns, and prevention is built into every treatment plan from the start.

Conquering Menopause: Our 5 Step Treatment Program

It’s time to reclaim your hormones and feel great in your body again! This is exactly why we created the Conquering Menopause Program. This 5-step program will help you reduce your symptoms, prevent long-term risks, and take the guesswork out of menopause, so you can get back to feeling like yourself!

our 5-step program

1. Identify Barriers  - We begin with an in-depth intake and comprehensive lab testing to understand your hormone levels, general health status, and where things are going wrong. You'll also track your symptoms at home so we can identify your unique patterns before your next appointment.

2. Support Foundations – Treatment begins here. We address the foundational pillars of health — sleep, blood sugar regulation, stress, and digestion — that directly impact how severe your symptoms are. In many cases, getting these right is enough to see significant improvement on its own. We show you how to make these changes in a realistic, sustainable way.

3. Customized + Targeted Supplementation – Once your labs and symptom diary are in, we build a supplementation plan based entirely on your unique physiology. Nothing generic — highly concentrated, evidence-informed supplementation targeted to your specific barriers. In many cases, bioidentical hormone therapy may also be recommended.

4. Ongoing Coaching & Monitoring – We don't hand you a plan and disappear. Regular blood work and in-depth reassessments track your progress concretely, so you always know what's working and why. Ongoing coaching ensures the plan fits into your daily life — because a plan you can't follow won't deliver results.

5. Long-Term Prevention — Staying Well Beyond Menopause – Once your primary symptoms are under control, we shift focus to prevention: building a plan to protect against osteoporosis, cardiovascular risk, and cognitive decline. Our goal is that you become so familiar with your own body that you only need us for maintenance visits every few months.
