When to Consider a Referral
Could It Be Perimenopause?

Perimenopause doesn't always begin with hot flashes. Changes in sleep, mood, cognition, musculoskeletal health, and metabolism may emerge years before a patient recognizes their connection to the menopause transition.

​

Consider referring a patient to Dr. Anne Wells when they're experiencing:

​

  • Persistent or worsening symptoms affecting quality of life, work, relationships, or daily functioning.

  • Menstrual changes in their 40s or earlier, including irregular cycles, heavier bleeding, or worsening premenstrual symptoms.

  • Sleep, mood, or cognitive changes without another clear explanation.

  • New pelvic, sexual, or urinary concerns that may benefit from menopause-focused evaluation.

  • Questions about treatment options, including hormone therapy and nonhormonal approaches.

  • Bone health, metabolic, or healthy aging concerns where individualized support may be helpful.

 

Dr. Wells provides comprehensive, evidence-informed naturopathic and functional medicine care in collaboration with existing healthcare providers. Together, we can help patients better understand their symptoms, explore appropriate treatment options, and develop a personalized path forward.

A Resource for Your Clinical Team

Could It Be Perimenopause?

Recognizing the Often-Overlooked Signs of the Menopause Transition

​

Anne has developed a practical, two-page reference guide to help healthcare professionals recognize possible signs of perimenopause, identify situations warranting further evaluation, and understand when specialized support may be appropriate.

​

Designed to be shared with colleagues, kept on hand for quick reference, or added to your practice's clinical resource library.

Clinical note: Symptoms associated with perimenopause can have multiple causes. Appropriate medical evaluation remains essential, and concerning symptoms should not automatically be attributed to hormonal changes.

Working Together

Collaborative Care. Shared Commitment.

​

At Adaptive Wellness, we value the relationships you've built with your patients. Our role is to complement your care with additional time, clinical perspective, and individualized support, not to replace the providers they already trust.

​

Here's what you can expect when we work together:

​

Respect for Your Existing Relationship

We encourage patients to maintain their relationships with their primary care and specialty providers while receiving complementary support from Adaptive Wellness.

​

Thoughtful, Individualized Care

Anne takes time to explore the whole picture, including medical history, symptoms, lifestyle, and existing treatment plans. Together with the patient, we'll develop practical, evidence-informed strategies aligned with their needs and goals.

​

Communication & Coordination

With appropriate patient authorization, we welcome communication with referring providers to share relevant findings, discuss recommendations, and support continuity of care.

 

A Collaborative Approach to Better Health

Whether a patient needs menopause-focused support, additional insight into persistent symptoms, or help navigating treatment options, our goal is to contribute meaningfully to their existing care team.

 

We're here to be a trusted resource for you and your patients.
