At Verve Health, we help you navigate the changes that come with every stage of life, including perimenopause, menopause, PCOS, thyroid imbalance, sexual dysfunction, and weight management.
If you’ve noticed shifts in your energy, mood, metabolism, or overall well-being, we’ll help you uncover the why behind what you’re feeling. Through advanced testing and evidence-based therapies, we create a personalized plan to restore balance, improve your vitality, and help you feel more like yourself again.
Perimenopause and menopause are completely natural transitions—but that doesn’t mean they’re always easy. Symptoms like mood changes, disrupted sleep, low energy, or irregular cycles can make it hard to feel like yourself.
At Verve Health, we take the time to listen and understand what you’re experiencing. We start with a detailed review of your symptoms and a comprehensive hormone panel that looks at key markers including estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid function. From there, we design a personalized treatment plan to help you regain balance, restore energy, and move through this stage of life with confidence and clarity.
Every woman’s experience is different, but these are some of the most common changes you might notice:
• Hot flashes or night sweats
• Mood swings, anxiety, or irritabilityIrregular or missed periods
• Vaginal dryness or discomfort
• Low libido or changes in sexual wellness
• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Fatigue, brain fog, or low energy
• Sleep disturbances or insomnia
These symptoms can show up gradually or all at once—but you don’t have to navigate them alone. We’ll help you understand what your body is trying to tell you and create a plan to bring things back into balance.
Common Symptoms of Perimenopause + Menopause:
PCOS affects more than your hormones—it can influence your skin, cycles, mood, and overall well-being. If you’ve been struggling with irregular periods, weight changes, or fertility challenges, you’re not alone—and there are answers.
At Verve Health, we start by understanding your full picture. We review your symptoms, run comprehensive lab work, and assess hormone balance, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic health to uncover what’s really going on.
Common signs of PCOS include:
• Irregular or missed periods
• Heavier cycles or prolonged bleeding
• Acne, oily skin, or unwanted hair growth
• Hair thinning
• Difficulty losing weight
• Fertility challenges
Your care plan is always tailored to you. We focus on balancing hormones, improving insulin sensitivity, and supporting metabolism through targeted medications, nutrition, and lifestyle guidance—so you can feel more balanced, confident, and in tune with your body again.
Your sexual health is a vital part of your overall well-being—but it’s something many women struggle to talk about, especially when it feels like no one’s really listening. At Verve Health, we understand how deeply these changes can affect your confidence, relationships, and quality of life, and we’re here to help—without judgment.
Sexual dysfunction can have many causes:
Hormonal shifts, emotional stress, physical changes, or often, a mix of all three. Our first step is to listen and understand your experience. From there, we use comprehensive hormone testing to assess estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA—key hormones that influence desire, arousal, and lubrication. When these are imbalanced, they can lead to symptoms such as:
• Low libido or reduced sexual desire
• Vaginal dryness or thinning tissue
• Pain or discomfort during intimacy
• Difficulty reaching orgasm
• Decreased arousal or satisfaction
Your treatment plan will always be tailored to you. We may recommend Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), localized vaginal treatments such as estrogen, DHEA, or testosterone cream, and supportive therapies that enhance tissue health and comfort. We can also incorporate pelvic floor therapy referrals, stress management, and targeted supplements to improve circulation and hormonal balance naturally.
Our goal is simple: to help you reconnect with your body, restore confidence in your intimacy, and feel like yourself again—fully, vibrantly, and without shame.
If you’ve been doing “all the right things” but the scale isn’t moving, your hormones or metabolism may be playing a bigger role than you think. At Verve Health, we help you uncover what’s really behind your weight changes and create a plan that actually works for your body.
Our approach combines medical weight-loss therapies—including GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide—with strategies to support your metabolism, hormones, and lifestyle.
We focus on sustainable progress, not quick fixes—helping you build energy, preserve muscle tone, and feel confident in your body for the long term.
If you’ve been feeling tired, foggy, or like your metabolism has slowed down, your thyroid might be trying to tell you something. This small but powerful gland affects nearly every system in your body—from energy and focus to mood and weight.
At Verve Health, we look beyond standard testing. We measure TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and thyroid antibodies (TPO) to get a complete picture of your thyroid health and find your true balance—not just what’s “normal” on paper.
Treatment may include thyroid hormone replacement, nutritional support, and lifestyle guidance to help you restore vitality, improve clarity, and feel like yourself again.
Every woman’s body tells a story—and at Verve Health, we take the time to listen. Each diagnosis begins with a detailed review of your symptoms, health history, and lifestyle, followed by comprehensive lab testing to uncover hormonal or metabolic imbalances that may be contributing to how you feel.
We believe understanding your results is just as important as the results themselves. That’s why we walk you through every finding, explaining how it connects to your symptoms and what it means for your next steps—so you feel informed, supported, and empowered in your care.
If you’re navigating the changes of perimenopause or menopause, you don’t have to do it alone. We use Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to gently rebalance hormones and relieve symptoms like hot flashes, mood changes, and disrupted sleep.
We’ll also guide you with nutrition and lifestyle recommendations that support your brain, bones, and metabolism—helping you feel grounded, clear, and strong through every stage of this transition.
If intimacy has started to feel uncomfortable or your desire has changed, you’re not alone—and there are effective solutions. We use a combination of tailored hormone therapy, vaginal estrogen, and natural testosterone support to address vaginal dryness, low libido, and pain or discomfort.
By integrating lifestyle guidance and stress-management techniques, we help restore balance, improve confidence, and support your overall sense of well-being.
Treatment for PCOS often includes medication to improve insulin sensitivity and regulate menstrual cycles, paired with lifestyle support for nutrition, stress, and movement.
Our integrative approach addresses both hormonal and metabolic balance—helping reduce symptoms, restore regularity, and support your energy, mood, and confidence. The goal is long-term stability and a renewed sense of control over your health.
At Verve Health, your care starts with curiosity and collaboration. We take time to understand your story, uncover what’s really going on, and create a plan that supports your whole self.
Meet one-on-one with your provider to talk through your symptoms, goals, and what you’d like to change about how you feel day to day.
We run detailed lab panels to see how your hormones, metabolism, and key systems are working together—so nothing gets missed.
Your provider walks you through your results in plain language, connecting each piece to your symptoms and outlining your next steps.
From hormones and nutrition to movement and stress resilience, we’ll build a personalized plan that fits your life and helps you feel balanced, strong, and confident again.
BHRT uses plant-derived hormones that are molecularly identical to those your body naturally produces. Delivered as creams or patches, BHRT helps restore estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone to optimal levels, easing symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness.⁴
Most women notice improvements within 2–4 weeks, though it can take up to 3 months to achieve full balance. We monitor your progress closely and fine-tune your treatment for lasting results.
When prescribed and monitored by qualified professionals, BHRT is considered safe and effective. Some women may experience mild, temporary effects such as breast tenderness or bloating as hormone levels stabilize. We review potential risks and benefits thoroughly and customize therapy to your needs, keeping your safety as our highest priority.⁶
In the past, some observational studies suggested that hormone replacement therapy, in general, might increase the risk of conditions such as breast cancer or cardiovascular disease. However, more recent research, which uses clinical trials and more reliable data, has shown that when BHRT is administered carefully and tailored to the individual, the risks are minimal. For women with symptoms of hormone deficiency or imbalance, BHRT has been shown to be an effective option with a low risk of serious complications, such as heart disease or cancer, particularly when compared to traditional synthetic hormone therapies.⁶
While PCOS can’t be “cured,” it can be effectively managed. Our approach focuses on regulating hormones, improving insulin sensitivity, and supporting weight management and fertility through medication and lifestyle care.
Many women with PCOS conceive successfully once their hormones and ovulation patterns are optimized. We offer treatment plans that support fertility through hormone balance, metabolic improvement, and lifestyle adjustments.⁷
