Am I too young for this?
Perimenopause can start in your late 30s.
Most of the change happens in the years before your periods stop, and those years have a name.
Before
Before perimenopause
Cycles are usually regular.
Perimenopause
Can start in your late 30s or 40s
Estrogen and progesterone swing up and down. Cycles change, and new sleep trouble, mood shifts or hot flashes can start, often years before periods stop.
Menopause
When your periods have stopped
Symptoms that started earlier can carry on past it.
After
The years that follow
Estrogen stays lower. Some symptoms fade, and others, like vaginal dryness or joint aches, can show up for the first time.
You don't have to wait for your periods to stop. We see women in perimenopause, in menopause and in the years after.
Your OB said it's just your age. Let's look at more than your age.
Age is part of it. But broken sleep and brain fog can also come from your thyroid, cortisol or blood sugar, so your panel checks those too.
A routine yearly visit
What it often covers
- A pelvic exam and screening tests when they're due
- A few minutes at the end to raise what's changed
- Hormone labs only in some cases
You can keep your OB-GYN for your yearly exam.

What care can look like
Your plan is built from your labs and your history. These are the kinds of care it can include, and you'll talk them through at your results visit.
Hormone therapy
Estrogen and progesterone are the hormones most women ask about, and the ones on your panel.
Other prescription options
For women who can't or would rather not take hormones.
Lifestyle changes
Sleep, food and movement, worked into a plan around the week you actually have.
Follow-up labs
A repeat draw at the Melbourne clinic, so changes to your plan come from your own results.
Who you'll see
Your care is led by an OB/GYN.

“The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They take the time to answer your questions, your appointment is not rushed.”
“Traditional doctors never looked at my body as a whole, so I was left with no real answers.”
“BioDesign Women answered my questions and made sure I understood the why behind the answers. I appreciated how patient, approachable, and professional they were.”
“I am glad I found a functional medicine office that runs the labs conventional doctors typically skip.”
