Common perimenopause and menopause symptoms this program addresses

Why hormones and metabolism are treated together
Estrogen and progesterone shifts during perimenopause don't just affect hot flashes and sleep — they change how your body stores fat, regulates blood sugar, and responds to exercise. Many women are told their weight gain, fatigue, or mood changes are "just part of getting older," when in fact menopause and weight gain can be connected to changes in hormones, metabolism, and body composition. As a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner and a physician double board-certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine, Dr. Knight is trained to look at both pictures together, rather than referring you elsewhere for the metabolic piece. She is an expert in treating hormonal weight gain in women 40+.

What's the difference between perimenopause and menopause?
Perimenopause is the transition period leading up to menopause, often lasting several years, during which hormone levels fluctuate and symptoms like irregular periods, hot flashes, and mood changes typically begin. Menopause itself is marked by 12 consecutive months without a period. Many women seek care during perimenopause, when symptoms are often most disruptive.
