Empowering Wellness Through Menopause and Beyond, by Dr Ghazigian

Is Your Doctor Really LISTENING To Your Needs?

Picture this: women going through perimenopause or the menopause transition, feeling a bit lost in the shuffle. Why? Because they might not realize that the various symptoms they’re tackling could be linked to hormonal changes. It’s more common than we might think!

Sadly, many of these women will seek out medical advice and often leave feeling more alone, misunderstood, and helpless.

Many doctors are not equiped with the proper skills or experience in this field, or still subscribe to outdated views. Women can be misdiagnosed with conditions such as depression, insomnia, fibromyalgia, and anxiety when, in fact, perimenopause or menopause is the underlying cause.

At our clinic, Dr Ghazigian, a healthcare professional specialized in menopause, will listen, understand, and validate your experiences. You will leave with a tailored plan made specifically for your needs and symptoms.
