What CNN has to say about Menopause

The national conversation about menopause has arrived, and it’s long overdue. As CNN’s recent “Sunday Spotlight” highlighted, a powerful surge of interest is finally bringing menopause care to the forefront of public consciousness. New legislation and media attention alike are talking about this health issue that has been largely overlooked since the beginning of medicine. At Age Management Center, we couldn’t be happier. We’ve been trying to turn the volume up on this topic for decades, because women—you deserve better. You deserve to be heard, and you deserve help.

The Problem We’ve Always Addressed

The CNN article shows that 94% of women report never having been taught about menopause in school. That means millions upon millions of women feel uninformed and unprepared for a major and inevitable life transition. The symptoms—from hot flashes and sleep disturbances to mood swings, fatigue, changes in memory, physique and beyond—are very real. But for too long, women have been told to simply “deal with it.”

We’ve always rejected this approach.

At Age Management Center, we understand that menopause and the transitional phases leading up to menopause are significant health milestones that impact a woman’s vitality, relationships, and wellbeing. We recognize the profound effect these hormonal changes can have on quality of life and have dedicated ourselves to providing the specialized, expert care that has been missing from general medicine.

Our Decades-Long Commitment

While new legislation is just beginning to address the need for more menopause training for clinicians, we have been offering this kind of advanced, specialized care for decades. Our commitment to women’s health is not a reaction to a recent trend; it’s always been at the core of our practice.

Our team provides a full spectrum of services designed to manage menopause and perimenopause symptoms. Our personalized plans often include solutions like:

• Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy:
  Our comprehensive labs give women personalized insights into their hormone health to understand where they may be suboptimal and how this may be impacting their wellness. From there, our menopause hormone replacement plans are tailored to each woman’s specific needs, with the goal to optimize balance and alleviate symptoms. We are experts in the nuances of these treatments and work closely with our clients to find the right solutions for their bodies and lifestyles.
• DEXA Scans for Body Composition and Bone Health
  We also offer DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scans, which allow us to analyze bone mineral density and body composition. This fast, non-invasive scan that’s completed right in our office, provides a precise measurement of bone density, lean mass and fat mass. For women at menopause age, this is critical because the decline in estrogen can accelerate bone loss, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. By establishing a baseline and tracking changes over time, we can proactively recommend strategies to protect your skeletal health. Additionally, monitoring body composition helps us optimize your wellness plan, addressing changes like increased visceral fat which can be associated with hormonal shifts during menopause.
• Reclaiming Intimacy: A Core Component of Menopause Care
  For many women, the conversation about menopause is incomplete without addressing its impact on sexual health. Decreased libido, vaginal dryness and painful intercourse are incredibly common symptoms of hormonal decline, yet they are often dismissed or left unaddressed by conventional medicine. We’ve long recognized that the physiological changes of menopause don’t have to define a woman’s sex life. That’s why we offer a spectrum of solutions that go beyond outdated advice and empower women to feel their best, including vaginal estrogen cream, The O-Shot and pulsewave therapy, among others. We understand that your vitality is about more than just feeling “fine”—it’s about feeling vibrant, confident, and whole.

The Future of Women’s Health is Here

While the national spotlight on menopause is new, our commitment to providing these advanced, personalized solutions is not. The “national movement” CNN describes is a powerful signal that the narrative around women’s health is finally changing. It’s a shift we’ve long advocated for, and we are proud to have been at the forefront of this change.

But, you don’t have to wait for new laws or medical guidelines to get the care you need. It’s been here all along.

At Age Management Center, we are redefining aging and empowering women to live their lives to the fullest. We are here to provide the proactive, comprehensive and compassionate care that women have always deserved.
