Understanding Menopause and Perimenopause: What Every Woman in Utah Should Know

Erika Noonan

As women approach midlife, significant hormonal changes occur, many of which are linked to menopause and perimenopause. In Utah, it’s essential to understand these transitions and take steps to manage them effectively. I’m Dr. Noonan, and at Healthspan Utah, I offer personalized, integrative care for women experiencing menopause, combining the latest in hormone therapy with a holistic approach that looks at your overall well-being.


What Happens During Menopause and Perimenopause?

Menopause is a natural part of aging, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55, when a woman's menstrual cycles come to an end. Perimenopause, the transition period leading up to menopause, can begin years earlier. During this time, hormone levels fluctuate, leading to:

  • Hot flashes

  • Mood changes

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Changes in weight and metabolism

Menopause can feel overwhelming, but with personalized care and prevention strategies, these symptoms can often be managed. I believe that each woman's journey through menopause is unique, and your care should be, too.


Personalized Hormone Care

As a physician with expertise in integrative medicine, I take a whole-person approach to managing menopause. That means not just focusing on the symptoms but looking at your diet, lifestyle, and mental health to create a personalized hormone care plan. Whether you’re interested in hormone replacement therapy or exploring more natural alternatives, I work with you to find the best options based on your needs and preferences.


The Importance of Prevention

One of the most critical aspects of managing menopause is prevention. With hormonal changes, the risk for conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease increases. By addressing these issues early, we can work to maintain your health and quality of life as you age.

At Healthspan Utah, prevention is a priority. With a focus on proactive care, I help women understand their risk factors and provide solutions that fit their lifestyle. This could involve anything from hormone therapy to dietary changes and supplements, all personalized to your needs.


Menopause Care Made Easier with Telehealth

I understand that life is busy. That’s why I offer telehealth consultations, making it easier for women across Utah to access expert menopause care without leaving their homes. Whether you're in Salt Lake City or a rural area, you can get the guidance and support you need through virtual visits.


Certified Expertise You Can Trust

As a Menopause Society Certified Provider, I stay up-to-date with the latest research and treatment options. This ensures that you’re receiving care from someone specially trained to address the challenges of menopause and perimenopause.
