Menopause Treatment in Carlsbad, CA

Treating Menopause

When treating menopause, we consider various aspects to ensure our patients receive the most comprehensive care. We recognize that each woman’s true well-being consists of more than just the physical. We embrace a holistic approach to ensure that each element of our patient’s being, mind, body, spirit, and emotions, can become balanced and even improved.

We are committed to supporting each patient’s well-being during these life stages and will use care and compassion in treating menopause and perimenopause symptoms so that you can achieve tranquility of mind, rejuvenation of the body, inspiration of the spirit, and solace of the emotions.

A Holistic and Patient-Centered Approach

Our holistic approach consists of habit training and dietary changes. We also currently refer our patients to the Bastyr University Clinic for Naturopathy to work with physicians who can offer additional holistic approaches to support them during these life stages.

We will soon offer a team of specialists to meet with our patients interested in treating menopause. Our team will consist of an endocrinologist, naturopathic expert, nutritionist, and counselor.

The Blue Zone Diet

The Blue Zone Diet is a way of eating and living that developed as a result of National Geographic Fellow, journalist, and explorer Dan Buettner, who set out on a journey to explore areas of the world with the highest longevity.

These areas became known as the blue zones: specific areas of the world where each group of individuals, despite their cultural differences, shared nine specific lifestyle habits. The Blue Zone Diet was born from this research and allows men and women to promote longevity and live the healthiest lifestyle.

More Than Just a Diet

Not only can this particular method of eating improve health and wellness, but it can also help alleviate the most common symptoms women experience when walking through the menopausal and perimenopausal stages.

The Blue Zone Diet consists of 11 food guidelines from lifestyles defined by longevity. More than just a diet, the Blue Zone Diet is a lifestyle that focuses on maintainable healthy habits that will make a significant difference in how you look, live, and feel.

Dietary Guidelines

The Blue Zone Diet is not restrictive but provides guidelines that, when followed, will increase vitality, reduce the risk of chronic and age-related diseases, improve cellular health, and help maintain balanced hormone levels. The diet focuses on healthy aging, decreased inflammation, improved cardiovascular health, and the establishment of and maintenance of fulfilling relationships.

Women going through menopause who adopt this particular way of eating will take steps to reduce meat, fish, dairy, and sugar consumption, eat a high percentage of plant-based foods, avoid processed foods and chemicals, limit coffee, tea, and alcohol, add fiber-rich beans to their diet, and eat plenty of nuts. The diet macros break down into a ratio of 65% carbs, 20% fats, and 15% proteins.

Lifestyle Changes

Lifestyle changes will include prioritizing sleep, cultivating relationships, and getting plenty of activity to reduce anxiety and prevent and alleviate the most common perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms.

Habit Coaching

One of the ways that we address the mental and emotional aspects associated with the perimenopausal and menopausal life stages is through habit coaching. Our habit coaching uses behavioral therapy techniques to help women restore their sense of self and renew their motivation.

We’ll help women break down a single big goal into subgroups of three smaller goals so that, as they work to accomplish each, they can achieve their big goal over time with behavioral modification principles.

How It Works

During our habit coaching, we’ll ask specific questions about your current mental, emotional, and physical health, like “What motivates you?” and “Why aren’t you drinking enough water?” We’ll then take your answers and design a plan, implementing behavioral strategies that can increase or decrease certain behaviors.

We’ll analyze the data we collect and determine whether you’ve successfully increased and decreased certain behaviors over time. We’ll also adjust your goals once you’ve reached your initial ones.

Am I a Good Candidate? 

If you’re in the perimenopausal stage or you’re currently going through menopause, you may be the perfect candidate for one of our customized treatment plans. The first step is a consultation, during which we’ll meet with you to discuss your symptoms and give you more details about the treatment process.

Then we can design the right treatment plan, give you all the details about the Blue Zone Diet and habit coaching, and help you age well without being consumed by the symptoms that typically affect women in these life stages.

Additional Treatment Options

During your consultation, we can also give you more details about our other services, which can pair well with a menopausal treatment plan. We offer holistic treatment options to reduce stubborn fat and cellulite, enhance different body areas, tighten the skin, and detox the body.

None of these treatment options rely on invasive or unnatural methods to achieve aesthetic and wellness goals. They will not put your health at risk but will work together to help you reach aesthetic and wellness goals and feel more confident about your body and health. We can give you details about all these additional services and make treatment recommendations based on your needs and preferences.
