Jane Epstein is a nurse practitioner with more than 35 years in practice who runs Menopause New Mexico, a small Albuquerque clinic for perimenopause and menopause. She is also a certified sexuality counselor, so sexual health gets real attention, including low libido, vaginal dryness and pain with sex. Care starts with an hour-long new patient visit that looks at symptoms, history and risks such as bone and heart health, and treatment can be hormone therapy or non-hormonal options. Visits are in person at the office or by video, and patients message Jane directly through the patient portal for refills and questions. Long-term prescriptions are renewed at a yearly hour-long visit, and Jane will send a short bridging prescription if you run low before it.
Lyons Health and Wellness is a small clinic in the Colorado foothills town Megan Foreman comes from, and she started it after leaving corporate healthcare. It is a primary care practice as well as a hormone practice, so the clinician treating your perimenopause also manages things like thyroid and cholesterol. A first visit covers your history along with sleep, food and exercise, and labs are ordered at the end so the results can be gone over at the follow-up. The clinic prefers Biote pellets and explains why it favors them over daily creams and pills, though patches, tablets and creams are options, and it uses compounding pharmacies when a dose needs to be precise. Prescriptions go to the pharmacy you choose instead of being sold in the office, and hormone care does not require a membership. Before opening the clinic Foreman ran the disordered eating team at CU Boulder, and the practice does weight and metabolic care alongside hormones.
