Perimenopause and menopause can bring many changes that are not always immediately recognized as being related to shifting hormones.

For example, headaches and migraines may begin in the late 30s or early 40s, and it may not be obvious that hormonal changes are contributing to these symptoms.

As menstrual cycles begin to change, it can also become more difficult to determine whether headaches are associated with ovulation, PMS, or menstruation itself.

Hormone testing, together with a thorough discussion of your symptoms and health history, can provide a clearer understanding of where you may be in the perimenopause transition. Using this information, we develop a naturopathic treatment plan unique to you,  and follow up regularly to assess progress, make adjustments as needed, and support the next stages for robust health.

When headaches are linked to hormonal fluctuations, helping to create greater hormonal stability can often make a significant difference. Ongoing follow-up appointments help ensure symptoms remain well managed and provide an opportunity to address any new concerns that arise along the way.
