Personalized, Science-Backed Treatment Plans for Menopause Symptom Relief

Hot Flashes

How it feels: Ever felt like you were melting into a puddle because of a sudden surge of intense heat? These are the infamous hot flashes; they can also be accompanied by chills, flushing, and feelings of anxiety. You’re not alone: Hot flashes are one of the most common symptoms of menopause, with around 75% of women experiencing them.

How Jayla can help: The good news is that hot flashes are treatable. Estradiol (estrogen) is the most effective proven treatment and can be coupled with diet changes to turn down the heat.

Joint Pain

How it feels: Do you have dull aches, stiffness, or shooting sensations in your joints? It’s a common yet often overlooked symptom of menopause: joint pain. You’re not alone: More than half of women experience joint pain during menopause, and for 21% of women, the pain can be severe.

How Jayla can help: Research indicates that estrogen therapy (systemic estradiol) effectively alleviates menopausal joint pain by supplementing estrogen levels when natural production declines. This therapy is particularly beneficial for women who have undergone hysterectomy. Combined with targeted weight training, estrogen therapy offers substantial relief, enhancing your overall well-being.

Low Libido

How it feels: If you find yourself less interested in sex or experiencing pain during intimacy, you may be dealing with low libido. These changes can affect your relationship and overall sense of well-being. You're not alone: Many women experience low libido during menopause, often due to hormonal changes affecting sexual desire and comfort.

How Jayla can help: Fortunately, there are effective treatments available, and addressing these concerns with a healthcare provider is the first step toward reclaiming a fulfilling sex life. Topical estrogen can improve lubrication and alleviate discomfort during sex, making intimacy more enjoyable. Testosterone therapy may also be recommended to boost libido and enhance sexual desire. These treatments, tailored to your needs, can help restore your sexual confidence and pleasure.

Vaginal Dryness

How it feels: If your vagina feels dry, itchy, or irritated, it can make sex uncomfortable or even painful. This experience is understandably distressing. You’re not alone: Half of menopausal women experience painful sex and vaginal dryness, often accompanied by low libido.

How Jayla can help: For those primarily experiencing vaginal dryness, vaginal estradiol (estrogen) is the preferred treatment. If other symptoms like hot flashes or night sweats are also present, systemic estradiol (estrogen via a patch or pill) may be recommended. Alongside medical treatments, effective lifestyle options such as lubricants, vaginal dilators, and sex therapy can significantly enhance comfort and intimacy, promoting a fulfilling menopausal experience.

Brain Fog

How it feels: Do you struggle with concentrating, processing information, or finding the right words? It can be quite unsettling. Many women fear it could be early onset dementia or Alzheimer's disease, but often it's due to hormonal changes. You’re not alone: Brain fog affects 75% of women during menopause.

How Jayla can help: During menopause, declining estrogen levels from your ovaries may contribute to brain fog. Systemic estradiol supplements can help replenish estrogen levels and may offer cognitive benefits during perimenopause and postmenopause, as suggested by recent studies. Incorporating physical activity and engaging in brain games are also recommended to support brain function and clarity.

Anxiety

How it feels: Have you been feeling fearful, apprehensive, or nervous lately? Perhaps accompanied by a racing heart, rapid breathing, or muscle weakness? These could be signs of anxiety, which many women experience more frequently during perimenopause. You’re not alone: Anxiety is common during menopause, especially during the perimenopausal phase. Around 50% of women experience mood symptoms related to menopause.

How Jayla can help: Research suggests that hormone replacement therapy, which supplements estrogen levels, can help alleviate emotional changes like anxiety during menopause. Additionally, medications like Paroxetine (Paxil or Brisdelle), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), are effective in boosting serotonin levels in the brain, thereby improving mood and reducing anxiety. Incorporating physical activity, mindfulness practices, and cognitive behavioral therapy are also beneficial strategies to manage anxiety symptoms effectively.

Mood Swings

How it feels: Menopause can turn your emotions into a rollercoaster ride. One moment you're in tears for no reason, the next you're seething over the dishes, and then suddenly gripped by panic over paying bills. Estrogen plays a crucial role in regulating mood-related hormones like serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Fluctuations in estrogen levels during menopause can disrupt this delicate balance, leading to unpredictable mood swings. You're not alone: For at least 40% of women, menopause brings about these emotional ups and downs.

How Jayla can help: Regaining emotional stability during menopause involves a multifaceted approach. Balancing hormones through therapies like hormone replacement can mitigate mood swings by replenishing estrogen levels. Additionally, practices such as mindfulness meditation and regular exercise can also significantly improve emotional resilience, helping you navigate this challenging phase with greater ease and stability.

Depression

How it feels: If you're experiencing extreme sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness, you may be clinically depressed. During menopause, these feelings can intensify, affecting your appetite, focus, and sleep patterns. You're not alone: Two-thirds of women experience anxiety or depression during menopause.

How Jayla can help: Treating depression during menopause often involves a combination of medications and psychotherapy. Medications like paroxetine (Paxil), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), can help rebalance serotonin levels in the brain, alleviating depressive symptoms. Psychotherapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is also effective in addressing underlying causes and providing coping strategies.

Poor Sleep

How it feels: When was the last time you slept through the night? Many menopausal women, perhaps like yourself, experience difficulty sleeping, often waking up in the middle of the night. This has many knock-on effects, and can leave you feeling tired and irritable during the day. You're not alone: About 61% of menopausal women struggle with poor sleep.

How Jayla can help: Hormone replacement therapy and progesterone treatments during perimenopause can be effective in improving sleep quality and duration. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as practicing good sleep hygiene, managing caffeine intake, and developing mindfulness can contribute to better sleep habits. Together, these approaches aim to help you achieve the restful sleep you deserve, promoting overall well-being and vitality.

Night Sweats

How it feels: Are you waking up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat? You might be experiencing night sweats. These sudden waves of heat can cause you to sweat excessively and wake up soaked, making for a very uncomfortable night. You’re not alone: Night sweats are very common, with up to 80% of women experiencing them during menopause.

How Jayla can help: Night sweats are highly treatable, so you can say goodbye to waking up on damp bedding! Estradiol (estrogen) is the gold standard for reducing night sweats, and we complement this with personalized diet changes and acupuncture to help you stay cool and comfortable through the night.

Weight Changes

How it feels: Does the scale keep going up even though your eating habits haven’t changed? Sleep troubles can also exacerbate this frustrating issue, making it harder to manage weight changes during menopause. To make things worse, the extra pounds usually settle around the midsection, which may cause other health issues. You’re not alone: Weight gain is common during menopause, with 75% of women experiencing it.

How Jayla can help: While we don’t focus on weight for vanity, it’s important to manage stomach fat because it increases the risks of heart attack, high blood pressure, stroke, and diabetes. Personalized nutrition plans, effective weight training routines, and estrogen replacement therapy to improve sleep can help you keep stomach fat in check.

Hair Loss

How it feels: Have you noticed more hair in your brush or subtle changes in your hairline? Hair loss can feel deeply personal and challenging to navigate. You’re not alone: More than half of women will experience some form of hair thinning during menopause.

How Jayla can help: Fortunately, there are evidence-based supplements, specialized shampoos, and dietary changes that can effectively address hair loss. We can recommend the most effective ones to you. Incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids into your diet can also support hair health and growth.

Skin Changes

How it feels: Have you noticed your skin becoming drier and less supple, almost like fragile parchment? That's a common sensation during menopause. As estrogen levels decline, your skin loses elasticity due to reduced collagen production. This can leave your skin feeling dry, itchy, and less elastic because of decreased natural oils that usually moisturize it. You're not alone: Many women experience skin changes like dryness and reduced elasticity during menopause.

How Jayla can help: Embrace moisturizers enriched with hydrating ingredients to replenish lost moisture and soothe dryness. Incorporating foods rich in antioxidants, such as colorful fruits and vegetables, can also support skin health from within. Additionally, certain hormonal medications can provide relief by addressing underlying hormonal imbalances that contribute to skin changes. Together, these approaches can help you maintain healthier, more comfortable skin throughout your menopausal journey.

Irregular Periods

How it feels: Welcome to perimenopause, where your periods become as unpredictable as the weather. They can swing from heavy flows to barely there spotting and be wildly unpredictable, all thanks to hormone fluctuations. You're not alone: During perimenopause, irregular periods are pretty much the norm, as hormone levels fluctuate unpredictably.

How Jayla can help: Managing irregular periods can involve various strategies. Low-dose birth control pills are often prescribed to regulate hormone levels and provide contraception, even during perimenopause when pregnancy is still possible. Dietary adjustments can also play a significant role, especially in managing symptoms like PMS. Together, these approaches aim to bring balance to your menstrual cycle and ease the period unpredictability often associated with perimenopause.

Bladder Weakness

How it feels: Are you peeing a little bit when you cough or sneeze? Maybe you’re rushing to the bathroom more often than before? Bladder weakness, also known as incontinence, can sneak up during pregnancy, childbirth, or menopause. As estrogen levels decline, your bladder (which stores urine) and urethra (the tube for urine release) lose their strength, affecting your ability to control urination. You're not alone: Many women experience bladder weakness due to hormonal changes.

How Jayla can help: Strengthening your pelvic floor through exercises can make a significant difference in managing urinary incontinence. Additionally, for some women, topical estrogen treatments may provide added support. These approaches not only help regain control over your bladder but also enhance your overall comfort and confidence during daily activities.
