Navigating Perimenopause with Grace: Hormone Therapy and Natural Support in Newport Beach
If you’re a woman in your 40s or 50s living in Newport Beach and finding yourself feeling more fatigued, irritable, or just not quite like yourself, you’re not alone. These changes might not be “just stress” or “getting older”—they could be signs of perimenopause, the transitional phase before menopause when hormone levels begin to shift.
Perimenopause can start as early as your late 30s or early 40s and may last for several years. It’s a natural part of life—but that doesn’t mean you have to suffer through the symptoms in silence. At OC Well Studio, we believe women deserve informed, compassionate care during this phase—and that support should be personalized, not one-size-fits-all.
Our Newport Beach wellness clinic is proud to offer holistic hormone therapy and naturopathic care for women navigating perimenopause, led by Dr. Jenny Im, ND, a licensed naturopathic doctor with a deep understanding of hormone health and women’s wellness.
Understanding Perimenopause: What’s Really Going On?
Perimenopause is driven by fluctuating estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels. As your ovaries begin to slow hormone production, these fluctuations can impact everything from your mood to your metabolism. Common symptoms of perimenopause include:
Hot flashes and night sweats
Irregular periods or heavy bleeding
Sleep disturbances and insomnia
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
Increased anxiety or mood swings
Weight gain, especially around the midsection
Low libido
Vaginal dryness
Fatigue and low energy
Hair thinning or skin changes
If you’re experiencing a combination of these symptoms, it’s likely not in your head—and it’s definitely not something you have to “just live with.”

Why Choose a Naturopathic Approach to Hormone Therapy in Newport Beach?
Naturopathic medicine blends modern science with natural therapies. For many women in Newport Beach, the fast-paced lifestyle, environmental stressors, and expectations of “doing it all” can make hormonal shifts even harder to navigate. A naturopathic approach:
Listens deeply to your story, not just your lab results
Looks at your whole system, including adrenal health, thyroid function, gut health, and nutrient levels
Focuses on restoring balance naturally, rather than simply replacing hormones
Creates a personalized, sustainable path to wellness that evolves with you over time
We’ve worked with busy professionals, active moms, retired athletes, and everyone in between. No matter where you’re at in your journey, you deserve care that truly supports you.
