Hormones & Menopause

Hormonal changes are a natural part of aging, but for many women, the transition through perimenopause and menopause can significantly affect physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being.

At Dr. Saljo, menopause and hormonal balance are approached as medical conditions requiring individualized assessment, not as a one-size-fits-all treatment. The goal is to understand hormonal changes in the context of overall health, symptoms, lifestyle, and long-term risk factors.

Where appropriate, bioidentical hormone therapy may be considered as part of a structured, evidence-based treatment plan.

Understanding Hormonal Changes

Hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause and menopause may affect multiple systems in the body. Common symptoms include:

  • Hot flashes and night sweats

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Mood changes, anxiety, or low mood

  • Fatigue and reduced resilience

  • Brain fog and concentration difficulties

  • Weight changes and metabolic slowdown

  • Changes in skin, hair, and connective tissue

  • Reduced libido or vaginal dryness

Symptoms vary widely between individuals and may begin years before the final menstrual period.

Medical Assessment & Diagnostics

Every consultation begins with a detailed medical evaluation. This includes:

  • Comprehensive symptom assessment

  • Medical and gynecological history

  • Review of lifestyle, stress, and sleep

  • Targeted laboratory diagnostics when indicated

Hormonal evaluation may include:

  • Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone

  • Thyroid function

  • Cortisol and stress-related markers

  • Metabolic and cardiovascular risk markers

The goal is to differentiate hormonal imbalance from other medical conditions and to create a safe, individualized treatment plan.

Treatment Approach

Lifestyle & Foundational Measures

Hormonal balance is influenced by more than hormones alone. Treatment planning may include:

  • Sleep optimization

  • Stress regulation

  • Nutrition and micronutrient support

  • Physical activity and muscle preservation

These foundational measures are essential for sustainable results.

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

When clinically indicated, bioidentical hormones may be prescribed to support symptom relief and quality of life.

Key principles:

  • Individualized dosing

  • Regular monitoring and follow-up

  • Lowest effective dose

  • Clear medical indications

Hormone therapy is not initiated automatically. Benefits, risks, alternatives, and contraindications are discussed in detail.

Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustment

Hormonal therapy requires regular reassessment. Treatment plans are adjusted based on:

  • Symptom response

  • Laboratory follow-up

  • Tolerance and side effects

  • Long-term health considerations

The focus is on safety, balance, and long-term well-being.

Integration with Preventive & Longevity Medicine

Hormonal balance plays a central role in preventive medicine and healthy aging. When appropriate, menopause care may be integrated with:

  • Preventive medical check-ups

  • Cardiovascular risk assessment

  • Bone health evaluation

  • Metabolic and weight management

  • Skin and tissue health support

This integrated approach supports both current well-being and long-term health outcomes.

  • Experience menopausal or perimenopausal symptoms

  • Seek medical evaluation of hormonal imbalance
