Perimenopause & Menopause Care in Burnaby
Hot flashes, sleep disruption, weight gain, low libido, or brain fog? Hormonal changes can affect how you feel at any stage.
Whether you’re in your late 30’s or 40s noticing perimenopause symptoms or already in menopause, this is a natural transition that all women experience. However, how it presents and how it is best managed can vary significantly from one individual to another.
You don’t have to accept feeling “off” as a normal part of aging.
At Full Circle Integrative Health, our Burnaby integrative clinic provides individualized, evidence informed perimenopause and menopause care tailored to your unique symptoms, physiology, values, and goals.
- Whether you're looking for education, lifestyle adjustments, or medication treatment, we’re here to guide you through this transition with clarity and confidence.
Do any of these symptoms sound familiar?
-Waking up in the middle of the night for no apparent reason
-Gaining mid section weight despite no changes to nutrition or exercise
-Low libido or/or vaginal dryness
-Brain fog or difficulty concentration
-Feeling more anxious, irritable, or overwhelmed
These are common perimenopause and menopause symptoms, often related to hormonal changes. With the right support, they can be improved.
