While some doctors say they don’t test in perimenopause, we beg to differ and find lab tests invaluable in the practice of integrative medicine. They help us identify root causes and tailor protocols to each patient’s specific needs. Further, they help us monitor progress over time and catch dysfunction at the earliest sign so we can course-correct before disease develops.

At TārāMD, we offer our patients low-dose bioidentical vaginal estrogen (estradiol) as a treatment approach for genitourinary syndrome of menopause and all the associated symptoms, including vaginal dryness, irritation, urinary leakage, UTIs, and more. It’s also helpful for women during other times of low hormones, such as postpartum or with cancer treatment.

Consistent with the research, the FDA recently announced the removal of the black box warning label on vaginal estrogen products, supporting the safety and efficacy we’ve observed in clinical practice for decades. Vaginal estrogen requires a prescription, and it’s worth the conversation with your healthcare provider.

As estrogen declines in perimenopause and stays low after menopause, the effects aren’t just hormonal—they show up in genitourinary health too. These changes can impact comfort, urinary function, and overall vaginal health, which is why awareness and proactive care matter.

Ashwagandha is a popular adaptogenic herb, meaning it can help the body adapt to stress. As a tea, tincture, or supplement, it is gentle and nourishing and may be a helpful integrative tool alongside lifestyle support.

Research suggests that ashwagandha may help with stress, anxiety, and sleep by helping to modulate cortisol levels. It is generally safe for short-term use and well tolerated. Plus, ashwagandha has a long history of use in Ayurveda and herbalist traditions.

We always recommend consulting your healthcare provider before trying new herbs or supplements to ensure they’re safe, especially if you take medication or have a medical condition.

If you’re curious how herbal medicine can support your health and healing, TārāMD can help.

Sleep issues affect 40-60% of perimenopausal women, and it’s not just stress or getting older. Changes in estrogen and progesterone contribute to the 2 am wakeups and make it feel impossible to get enough rest. Perimenopausal symptoms, like night sweats, anxiety, and heavy periods, also disrupt sleep. Plus, women can develop sleep apnea during this time; with it, you’ll never feel rested, no matter how much sleep you get.

From an integrative perspective, we want to uncover the root cause of sleep disturbance, optimize your sleep habits, and add in hormonal support. There is no one-size-fits-all plan; we’ll personalize it just for you so you can get good sleep and feel more like yourself.

The FDA’s recent removal of the black box warning on vaginal estrogen is a meaningful step forward—helping more women access a safe, effective treatment for symptoms like vaginal dryness, irritation, and urinary issues. Greater access means better care and quality of life for many women. Read more of our blog by following https://www.taramd.com/post/vaginal-estrogen-in-menopause-safe-and-effective

For humans, polyphenols act as powerful antioxidants and are associated with numerous health benefits. Diets rich in plants, and therefore rich in polyphenols, are protective against chronic disease, including:
• Heart disease
