Menopause is a natural transition, but that doesn’t mean women have to suffer. From 75% of the women experiencing hot flashes to brain fog, managing menopause symptoms is possible with the right support. At South Georgia Center for Optimal Wellness, we offer natural solutions like BHRT and integrative care.
In this blog, we’ll explore what causes symptoms—and how to find lasting relief.
What Happens During Menopause?
Menopause marks a significant hormonal shift—primarily a decline in estrogen and progesterone—that can affect everything from mood to metabolism. Common symptoms include hot flashes, disrupted sleep, increased anxiety, fatigue, and stubborn belly fat.
Perimenopause often starts years before menopause, while postmenopause can bring new challenges. Because every woman’s experience is different, managing menopause symptoms requires a personalized, holistic approach that supports the body’s changing hormone levels.
How Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Helps
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced in the body. Unlike synthetic hormone treatments, BHRT can be customized to each woman’s unique hormonal profile, offering relief from menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, and mood swings.
For those experiencing weight gain, female hormone therapy for weight loss can be part of a broader, individualized treatment plan. When managed under expert medical care, BHRT is a safe and effective solution for restoring balance and improving quality of life.
Natural Strategies for Managing Menopause Symptoms
Managing menopause symptoms doesn’t rely on hormone therapy alone. A supportive diet—rich in phytoestrogens (like flaxseed and soy), lean protein, and healthy fats—can ease hormonal shifts. Regular exercise helps regulate mood, support metabolism, and maintain muscle mass. Many women also benefit from adaptogens and functional supplements that promote balance and reduce stress.
At South Georgia Center for Optimal Wellness, integrative care combines nutrition, lifestyle changes, and testing to help women feel their best naturally throughout the menopausal transition.

Weight Gain During Menopause—What You Can Do
Hormonal imbalances during menopause often lead to stubborn weight gain, particularly around the midsection. A slower metabolism, rising insulin resistance, and elevated stress hormones like cortisol can make weight loss harder. Hormone therapy for weight loss, including BHRT, may help restore metabolic function.
Specialized weight loss programs for women at South Georgia Center for Optimal Wellness are tailored to this unique life stage. Comprehensive assessment and hormone testing are essential before starting treatment to ensure safe, personalized results.
