Menopause & Perimenopause Treatment in Gilbert, AZ
Perimenopause and menopause change more than your cycle. Our licensed naturopathic doctors (NMD) start by listening to what you are experiencing, then test the full hormone picture instead of one marker at a time, and build your plan from what the results show.
Perimenopause and Menopause Care in Gilbert, AZ
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy for Menopause
Hot flashes, weight gain, mood changes and broken sleep are the symptoms that bring most women in. Bioidentical hormone therapy is one option we use, and it is not the only one. Which one fits you depends on where you are in the transition, what your labs show, and what you have already tried.
Perimenopause and Menopause Symptoms We Treat
Most women arrive with several of these at once, having been told each one is unrelated. Read together, they usually point somewhere.

Told Your Labs Were Normal?
A standard workup often checks one or two markers and stops. We look at estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid and cortisol together, because in perimenopause they move at different rates and a single number rarely explains what you are feeling. We offer both hormone therapy and non-hormonal options, and we will tell you which one we think fits.
What We Test When Your Hormones Change
At Onyx Integrative Medicine & Aesthetics, bioidentical hormone therapy is one part of a wider workup. Before anything is prescribed, we look at what else could be driving your symptoms, because perimenopause rarely arrives on its own.
Food Allergy
Food sensitivities can trigger inflammation and disrupt hormone function. We conduct advanced testing to identify intolerances that may be affecting your energy, metabolism, and mood.
Stool Analysis
Gut health plays a crucial role in hormone balance. Our stool testing evaluates digestive function, microbiome diversity, and inflammation markers that impact hormone production and detoxification.
Comprehensive Hormone Testing
We measure key hormone levels, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid function, to create a customized bio-identical hormone therapy plan tailored to your needs.
Nutrient Testing
Deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals can contribute to hormonal imbalances. Our testing assesses nutrient levels to optimize cellular function and restore energy.
Mold & Metals
Environmental toxins, such as mold exposure and heavy metals, can disrupt endocrine function. Our testing identifies hidden toxins affecting your hormones, metabolism, and overall health.
The majority of patients notice significant improvement in the first 4 to 12 weeks. Your plan is reviewed against repeat labs and against how you feel, then adjusted from there.
Why Perimenopause Gets Missed
Perimenopause can start years before your periods stop, and the early signs are easy to attribute to something else. Sleep, mood, weight and cycle changes get treated one at a time, by different people, and the pattern never gets read as a whole.
Our naturopathic doctors use advanced lab testing and long appointments to find what is driving it. Because thyroid, cortisol, insulin and sex hormones all move together, we assess them together. Plans may include hormone therapy, herbal medicine, targeted nutrition, and changes to how you eat, sleep and train.
