Women’s Midlife, Menopause & HRT
Menopause care in the context of your whole health
Perimenopause and menopause can affect how you feel day to day — but midlife health is about more than symptoms alone.
I provide evidence-based medical care for women seeking assessment and treatment of perimenopause and menopause, including advice about menopausal hormone therapy (HRT/MHT).
My approach considers your symptoms and treatment choices alongside the aspects of health that become increasingly important through midlife — including bone, cardiovascular and metabolic health, body composition and physical capability.
Women’s Midlife & Menopause Consultation
$240 | 40 minutes | Telehealth
Is this appointment for me?
This consultation is appropriate if your main reason for seeing me is:
Symptoms that may relate to perimenopause or menopause
Understanding whether you are in the menopause transition
Discussing whether HRT may be appropriate for you
Starting or changing menopause treatment
Reviewing your current HRT
Discussing menopause in the context of your broader health
You don't need to know whether your symptoms are caused by menopause before you book. Part of the assessment is working out what is likely to be menopause-related, what may not be, and what deserves further investigation.
What happens?
Before your appointment
You'll complete a health questionnaire so I can review the important information before we meet.
Please also have either an InBody or DEXA body-composition assessment completed before your consultation.
Your Consultation
40 minutes via telehealth
We'll focus on the issues that matter most to you rather than repeating a history you've already provided.
Depending on your situation, we'll consider:
your symptoms and menstrual history
how symptoms are affecting your quality of life
relevant medical and family history
previous or current menopause treatment
cardiovascular, metabolic and bone health where relevant
body composition
lifestyle factors relevant to your health
your priorities and preferences for treatment
We'll then decide what needs to happen next. That may include treatment, further investigation, monitoring or simply reassurance where no additional intervention is needed.
What about HRT?
Menopausal hormone therapy can be an effective treatment for appropriate women with menopausal symptoms, but the decision to use it is individual.
We'll discuss the potential benefits, risks and alternatives in the context of your symptoms, health history, risk factors and preferences.
HRT is not automatically recommended simply because you are in perimenopause or menopause, and treatment is not about trying to achieve a particular hormone level. The aim is to make an informed treatment decision that is appropriate for you.
Looking beyond menopause
Menopause can be an important part of midlife health — but it isn't the whole picture.
Where relevant, we'll also consider the longer-term aspects of health that deserve attention at this stage of life. If your main goal is actually to take a comprehensive look at your future cardiovascular and metabolic health, muscle, bone health, body composition and physical capability, the Future Health Assessment may be a better starting point.
