Menopause
Menopause, which usually occurs in women between 45-55, is a profoundly personal time of transition—no two experience it the same way. Hormonal changes can begin as early as your 30s and 40s, often affecting your well-being during an already demanding phase of life.
Ideally, estrogen and progesterone should remain steady and then drop off at menopause, allowing us to transition smoothly into the next stage of life. But what actually happens is quite different. Just when life is at its busiest—caring for aging parents, managing a career, watching your kids get married, or welcoming grandchildren—our hormones fluctuate the most.

At Root Cause Functional Medicine, we recognize the challenges that come with these changes, and we’re here to help you navigate them with confidence and ease.
Common Symptoms and Their Impact
Hormonal fluctuations, particularly in estrogen and progesterone levels, can trigger various physical and emotional changes. Some of the most common experiences include:
- Hot flashes and night sweats that can disrupt sleep patterns and daily activities, making it challenging to maintain your usual routine
- Memory changes that may affect your work performance and daily tasks, causing unnecessary stress and anxiety
- Hair thinning and mood shifts that can impact your confidence and emotional well-being
- Physical discomfort that might interfere with your regular activities and relationships
