"Right now, women are living their last years less healthy than men, but we can change that. We want to help women live longer, more vitalized lives."
– Erica Henderson, co-owner, The Menopause Practice
Treatment plans differ depending on the range and severity of symptoms but can include nutrition, exercise recom- mendations, supplements and medica- tions, menopause hormone therapy, vaginal rejuvenation treatments and lifestyle advice. Nurse practitioners can send referrals to other providers and specialists as required. They will work with your healthcare team in whatever capacity you wish them to. A follow-up is planned for three months following the initial visit to review the plan of care and outcomes and adjust as required. “What we really want to say to women is that for so long, doctors would say, 'That's just part of being a woman; get over it.’ Or, ‘That's just part of life. That's just getting older.’ But we do not have to suffer as women. This can be our most vital, amazing time of life,” says Hender- son. “Right now, women are living their last years less healthy than men, but we can change that. We want to help wom- en live longer, more vitalized lives.”
