Menopause

Menopause is a natural transition in a woman's life that marks the end of her reproductive years. It often brings symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and changes in energy levels. Many women seek holistic treatments to manage these symptoms and improve their overall well-being.

Our treatments aim to restore balance to the body naturally and can be personalized based on each woman's needs. For women at Princeton Integrative Health, these approaches could be blended with functional medicine testing and targeted therapies to address menopause holistically.

BHRT (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy)

 BHRT is a treatment designed to help restore balance to your body’s hormone levels using hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the body. This therapy is commonly used to alleviate symptoms of hormone imbalances in both men and women, such as those caused by menopause, perimenopause, andropause, or thyroid disorders.

BHRT can help improve issues like low energy, mood swings, weight gain, hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep disturbances, among others. 

Metabolic

Metabolic issues in women’s health can have a significant impact on overall well-being, affecting energy levels, weight management, mood, and even hormone balance. Metabolic dysfunction often occurs when the body has difficulty properly regulating blood sugar, fat storage, and energy production. This can lead to conditions like insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, or thyroid imbalances, which are particularly common during hormonal shifts such as menopause or perimenopause.

With personalized treatment plans that may include nutritional therapy, hormone balancing, lifestyle adjustments, and advanced diagnostic testing, we help women optimize their metabolism, improve energy levels, and support healthy weight management. 

Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, leading to pain, inflammation, and sometimes infertility. This misplaced tissue can be found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other areas within the pelvic region. Endometriosis affects an estimated 1 in 10 women during their reproductive years, causing symptoms like severe menstrual cramps, chronic pelvic pain, painful intercourse, digestive issues, and fatigue. While the exact cause is still unknown, hormone imbalances and immune system dysfunction are believed to play a role.

Fertility

Fertility issues can arise from a variety of factors, many of which are tied to imbalances within the body. Functional medicine takes a holistic and individualized approach to fertility, focusing on identifying and treating the root causes of reproductive challenges. Some of the fertility issues that can be addressed with functional medicine include: Hormonal Imbalances, Chronic Inflammation, Nutrient Deficiencies, Gut Health and Microbiome Imbalances, Stress and Adrenal Health, Toxin Exposure and Detoxification, Autoimmune Conditions, and more...

Pelvic Health

Pelvic health is an essential aspect of women’s overall well-being, as it impacts core stability, bladder control, sexual function, and posture. Pelvic floor dysfunction, such as pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, and lower back pain, is common in women, particularly after childbirth, during menopause, or due to weakened core muscles. Our innovative approach to improving pelvic health is the use of hypopressive exercises.
