Understanding Perimenopause and Menopause
If your body has started to feel unfamiliar—your sleep off, your mood shifting, your energy dipping, your weight changing—you’re not alone.
And you’re definitely not imagining it.
At Grassroots Naturopathic Medicine, this is one of the most common conversations happening in clinic right now. Women are noticing changes, asking questions, and often not getting clear answers.
That’s exactly why menoPowered was created.
What is menoPowered?
menoPowered is a menopause education and care platform designed to help women navigate perimenopause and menopause with clarity, confidence, and evidence-based support.
It was created by three naturopathic doctors and Menopause Society–certified practitioners:
Dr. Beverly Huang
Dr. Mary Knudsen
Dr. Karlee Tario
These are the same doctors caring for patients at Grassroots—and they built menoPowered after seeing a clear gap in menopause care.
Not just in treatment options, but in education.
Because when women don’t understand what’s happening hormonally, everything feels harder than it needs to be.
Why Menopause Care Often Falls Short
Many women are told:
“This is just part of aging”
“Your labs are normal”
“It’s probably stress”
And while stress can play a role, it’s rarely the full picture.
Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause impact:
Brain function, focus, and mood
Sleep and recovery
Metabolism and body composition
Cardiovascular and bone health
Vaginal and sexual health
This isn’t just about symptoms—it’s about how your entire system is adapting.
menoPowered was created to connect these dots in a way that actually makes sense.
The menoPowered Approach
menoPowered brings together evidence-based medicine and a naturopathic, whole-body approach.
That means:
Looking beyond “normal” lab ranges to understand hormonal patterns
Considering stress, sleep, nutrition, metabolism, and environment
Offering education on both lifestyle strategies and hormone therapy options
Translating complex physiology into practical, usable steps
The goal is simple: remove confusion and give women a clear path forward.
Changing the Conversation Around Menopause
menoPowered was built on a simple belief:
Women deserve to understand their bodies.
Not dismiss their symptoms.
Not push through.
Not feel like they have to figure it out alone.
This stage of life isn’t something to survive—it’s something to move through with clarity, support, and the right tools.
