🌿 The Menopause Method: Personalized Hormone Therapy That Honors Your Whole System
From the Providers at Lowcountry Wellness Center | Whole You: The HO Member Blog
If you’re in the season of perimenopause or menopause, you may be feeling disconnected from your body—foggy, tired, irritable, or just… off. Maybe you’ve tried other hormone therapies that didn’t feel right. Or maybe you’ve been told it’s “just part of getting older.”
We’re here to tell you: You deserve better. At Lowcountry Wellness Center, we use the Menopause Method, a thoughtful, evidence-informed, and personalized approach to hormone support that addresses your whole self—not just a lab result.
🧬 What Is the Menopause Method?
The Menopause Method was developed by Dr. Daved Rosensweet to offer a more individualized path to hormone therapy. It includes:
- Plant-based bioidentical hormones —including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA
- A unique 80% estriol / 20% estradiol blend that closely reflects the body’s natural balance
- Preservative-free organic oil bases —no harsh solvents or synthetics
- Topical delivery (oils or creams) to bypass first-pass liver metabolism
- Built-in monthly hormone holidays to maintain receptor sensitivity and reassess progress
- Monthly symptom check-ins and 24-hour urine hormone testing to help fine-tune your dose
🔍 Why 80/20? What’s the Big Deal?
Most conventional hormone therapies rely heavily on estradiol alone. The Menopause Method pairs it with estriol—known for its gentle, tissue-supportive effects. Many individuals report balanced symptom support and improved tolerance with this combination.
🧪 Why 24-Hour Urine Testing?
Unlike single-point blood or saliva tests, 24-hour urine testing offers insight into how your body metabolizes hormones throughout the day. This helps your provider observe both hormone levels and detox patterns to inform safe, individualized adjustments.
🛠️ What to Expect from Your Plan
- Comprehensive intake – We listen to your symptoms, story, and goals
- Initial labs – Including 24-hour urine testing to assess hormone balance and clearance
- Custom prescription – Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and/or DHEA tailored to your needs
- Monthly check-ins – Brief symptom questionnaires help guide adjustments
- Monthly hormone holidays – A brief pause to reassess sensitivity and responsiveness
- Stabilization phase – Many individuals find their optimal dose within 2–6 months
- Annual maintenance testing – Once balanced, testing is typically recommended yearly
💛 Why We Trust This Method
This method doesn’t rely on lab numbers alone. It prioritizes your lived experience and uses data to inform—rather than dictate—your care. It encourages a collaborative, symptom-informed approach to hormone balance.
Many patients report feeling more supported in key areas like sleep, mood, energy, and overall vitality.
🧘 Who It's Especially Helpful For
- Women who didn’t tolerate other BHRT plans
- Those with autoimmune conditions or environmental sensitivities
