Hormone Optimization
Putting The Pieces Together
Symptoms Of Peri-Menopause
Women are often left feeling frustrated when attempting to seek care for health changes that develop as soon as the 3rd decade of life. Symptoms can be random, inconsistent, unpredictable, and ever-changing – which is why traditional providers may have trouble putting the pieces together for you.
According to John Hopkins Medicine, symptoms of peri-menopause include:
- mood changes (especially anxiety & depression)
- changes in sexual desire
- trouble concentrating or with memory
- headaches
- night sweats
- hot flashes
- vaginal dryness
- trouble with or changes in sleep
- joint and muscle aches
- heavy sweating
- having to pee often
- PMS-like symptoms like breast tenderness
Our Program
Our family nurse practitioner & certified health coach, Ashly Ellis, is passionate about holistic wellness. In our Hormone Optimization Program, Ashly will work to assess, diagnose, and treat you as a whole human – which cannot be accomplished in a 20 minutes appointment.
The initial Vitality Consult with Ashly is 90 minutes of history-taking, symptom collection, dietary-recall, and discussing lifestyle habits. While a laboratory evaluation is not necessary to diagnose “peri-menopause”, it is wise to screen for co-existing conditions, in nutritional deficiencies. We have partnered with Access Labs for ease of continuity of care. Labs can be drawn in our Prim clinic and results will come directly to our provider.
The conclusion of your consult along with lab results will help determine your plan of care. Ashly will see Hormone Optimization Program (HOP) patients for an additional visit to review results and proposed plan. She will then follow you through any hormone and nutritional replacement therapies, prescribing those which are needed.
Our HOP program is designed to be customized to you! We believe the concept of patient-centered is being lost in western medicine and we aim to bring that back.

Ashley Ellis was very informative and caring at my appointment today.

Thank you.

Current ClientI can honestly say I feel a touch overwhelmed at how much these ladies have returned my confidence. Their knowledge, compassion, and honesty has genuinely made me feel more love for myself than I have in a long time. This worked for me in a way I didn’t know was possible. It has reduced my stress level about my appearance drastically which overall is better for my health by reducing cortisol levels. The anxiety and dread I was feeling about my appearance deteriorating was truly effecting me in such a negative way. I am so very grateful that these ladies are here and TRULY care about us. !

Current ClientThere are veryyyy few people I trust with my skin, but Meghan and Jenna are two of them! Not only have I gotten incredible results (less breakouts, more brightness, I feel like I’m aging backwards) since I started getting regular skincare services, but I also feel so much more confident as a woman overall. That feeling is priceless!! Meg and Jenna are experts in their respective crafts…they practice ethically…and the actual office is so relaxing and inviting. I wouldn’t go anywhere else in the EUP for anything skincare or medical esthetics related because they are that good and I feel amazing every time I leave!!
