The Next Chapter

How it works

Perimenopause to Menopause can be a time of great ups and downs for women both physically and mentally, but it doesn’t have to be.
With the right balance of nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle changes we can start the next chapter with energy, curiosity and the same size pants!

OUR PROCESS

Our process is one of Evaluation, Recommendation and Optimization. We meet you where you are and build from there. There are no judgements and no determinations on where you should be, rather just partnership on where you want to go.  The Next Chapter is a 12 week therapeutic partnership commitment with 7 distinct sessions in total.

Phase I- Evaluation

Diagnostic review of the following:

  • Intake Form: medical history, current wellness state, lifestyle and goals
    Food/mood/poop journal

  • Sleep diary 

  • Labs    

  • Third party Microbiome and Micronutrient testing are recommended as foundational diagnostic tools so we may understand your full health profile. Additional hormone testing may be suggested as well. Joy of Eating
