Natural Support for Women’s Health

Women have unique challenges when it comes to holistic health including a more diverse interplay of hormones that can easily become out of balance in the modern world. Dr. Wine believes in empowering women with knowledge about their bodies and providing both natural and conventional support options for a diverse range of women’s health concerns.

This page is in progress. Dr. Wine is working on creating resources for a variety of women’s health conditions including: PCOS, painful periods, infertility, perimenopause and menopause, vaginal health, and much more. Stay tuned for additional resources!

Overview of Hormones for Women’s Health

Hormone balance has a such an important impact on female body. This resource is a run down of the most hormone labs I order to help troubleshoot imbalance hormones.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is the gradual reduction of bones mineral density that will increase the chance of bone fracture with a fall or injury. While osteoporosis can happen in men, it is much more prevalent in the female population and this risk increases with age:

- Women aged 50-69 with osteoporosis: 15-20%

- Women aged 70-79 with osteoporosis: 35-40%

- Women aged 80+ with osteoporosis: 50-60%

Continued weight bearing physical activity and balance exercises are my top recommendation for maintaining bone mass and preventing falls.

Menopausal and perimenopausal support

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life that marks the end of her menstrual cycles. It’s officially confirmed when 12 consecutive months have passed without a period. It usually occurs between the ages of 48 years and 55 years. Rarely does a woman develop menopause before the age of 40 years but hormonal fluctuations can start in the mid 30’s and progress through menopause. At menopause, your ovaries stop producing the female hormones estrogen and progesterone.
