Menopause care that takes your symptoms seriously

WHealth is GenieMD's women's health program for perimenopause, menopause, and the years after. Board-certified physicians evaluate what you are feeling, run the right labs, and build a care plan that uses hormonal and non-hormonal options, not just "wait it out."

Hot flashes, sleep, hair, skin, sexual health, bone loss, mood, weight: one program, one care team, with follow-up that continues past the first visit.

Who WHealth is for

Every stage of the transition, including the years nobody warned you about

Estrogen receptors exist in the brain, bones, skin, hair, heart, and bladder, which is why falling and fluctuating hormone levels can affect nearly every system. WHealth is built for the whole arc, not a single moment.

Typically late 30s to late 40s

Perimenopause

The years before periods stop, when hormones swing rather than simply fall. Often the most symptomatic stage, and the most frequently dismissed.

  • Irregular, heavier, or closer-together periods
  • New sleep problems, night sweats, anxiety
  • Brain fog, mood shifts, weight changes
  • Symptoms that come and go unpredictably
12 months without a period

Menopause

The point at which menstruation has stopped for a full year. Vasomotor, genitourinary, and sleep symptoms tend to peak around this time.

  • Hot flashes and night sweats
  • Vaginal dryness, painful sex, urinary changes
  • Hair thinning and skin changes
  • Accelerated bone loss begins
The decades after

Postmenopause

Symptoms may ease, but the long-term effects of low estrogen on bone, heart, metabolism, and brain are where prevention matters most.

  • Osteoporosis and fracture risk
  • Cardiovascular and metabolic risk
  • Persistent genitourinary symptoms
  • Cognitive and mood health
+
Also for women under 40, and for cancer survivorsPremature or early menopause, surgically induced menopause after oophorectomy or hysterectomy, medically induced menopause from chemotherapy or radiation, and symptoms from primary ovarian insufficiency or PCOS. Women with a history of breast or gynecologic cancer are evaluated for safe, non-hormonal options.
What we treat

Therapy and management for the symptoms that disrupt your life

Each category below is evaluated by a physician, with treatment chosen for your symptoms, history, and preferences. Every plan is personalized; the options listed are examples of what may be considered, not a promise of what will be prescribed.

1

Hot flashes & night sweats

Sudden heat, flushing, sweating, and chills, often worst at night. The most common menopause symptom, and one of the most treatable.

How we manage it
  • Hormone therapy (estrogen with progesterone if you have a uterus) for eligible women
  • FDA-approved non-hormonal medication, including neurokinin-receptor antagonists and low-dose paroxetine
  • Other non-hormonal options such as SNRIs, gabapentin, or oxybutynin where appropriate
  • Trigger mapping: alcohol, caffeine, heat, stress, and sleep timing
Hormonal and non-hormonal paths
2

Sleep & insomnia

Trouble falling asleep, 3 a.m. waking, and unrefreshing sleep, driven by night sweats, hormone shifts, anxiety, or all three.

How we manage it
  • Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) screening and sleep-pattern review
  • Treat the drivers first: night sweats, urinary waking, anxiety, restless legs
  • Cognitive behavioral strategies for insomnia (CBT-I) and sleep-schedule coaching
  • Melatonin, hormone therapy, or prescription sleep aids only when clinically appropriate
Root cause before sedatives
3

Hair loss & thinning

Widening part, more hair in the shower drain, thinning at the crown. Hormone change is one cause; thyroid, iron, and stress are others.

How we manage it
  • Labs to rule out contributors: thyroid, ferritin and iron, vitamin D, androgens
  • Topical minoxidil as first-line therapy for female-pattern hair loss
  • Oral options such as low-dose minoxidil or spironolactone for eligible patients
  • Nutrition review and a realistic timeline (regrowth takes months)
Evaluate, then treat
4

Skin care & skin changes

Dryness, thinning, loss of firmness, new acne, itching, and slower healing as collagen declines with estrogen.

How we manage it
  • Prescription retinoids and barrier-repair routines matched to your skin
  • Treatment for hormonal acne, including spironolactone where appropriate
  • Hormone therapy may support skin thickness and hydration in eligible women
  • Daily SPF and a skin-cancer awareness check; dermatology referral when needed
Medical, not cosmetic-counter
5

Sexual health & intimacy

Vaginal dryness, pain with sex, low desire, recurrent UTIs, and urinary urgency (genitourinary syndrome of menopause). Real symptoms with real solutions.

How we manage it
  • Low-dose vaginal estrogen (cream, tablet, or ring), safe for most women long-term
  • Vaginal DHEA (prasterone) or oral ospemifene for painful sex
  • Non-hormonal moisturizers and lubricants, pelvic-floor physical therapy referral
  • Low libido: address sleep, mood, and pain first; medication options for eligible women
We will never say "just deal with it"
6

Bone loss & joint pain

Estrogen protects bone; in the first years after menopause, bone density can fall quickly and silently. Joint aches and stiffness are also common.

How we manage it
  • Fracture-risk assessment and DEXA bone-density scan ordering when indicated
  • Calcium, vitamin D, and protein targets; resistance-training guidance
  • Hormone therapy is FDA-approved for prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis in eligible women
  • Bisphosphonates or other bone medications for diagnosed osteopenia or osteoporosis
Prevention starts early
7

Weight & metabolic changes

Weight that shifts to the midsection, rising blood sugar and cholesterol, and a slower metabolism even when habits have not changed.

How we manage it
  • Metabolic labs: A1c, lipids, thyroid, liver, and a 50+ biomarker profile
  • Protein-forward nutrition and strength-training plans built for midlife
  • Physician-supervised GLP-1 therapy when clinically appropriate
  • Blood pressure and cardiovascular risk tracking over time

8

Mood, anxiety & brain fog

Irritability, low mood, new anxiety, memory lapses, and trouble finding words. Hormone shifts, poor sleep, and life load all contribute.

How we manage it
  • PHQ-9 and GAD-7 screening at every stage of care
  • Hormone therapy may improve mood symptoms linked to the transition in eligible women
  • SSRIs or SNRIs, which can also reduce hot flashes
  • Therapy and behavioral-health referral; sleep and exercise as first-line brain support
Screened, not guessed
9

Period changes & bleeding

Cycles that shorten, lengthen, skip, or become heavy during perimenopause, and any bleeding after menopause, which always needs evaluation.

How we manage it
  • Bleeding-pattern review and iron check for heavy periods
  • Progestin options, including hormonal IUD referral, to regulate cycles and protect the uterus
  • Low-dose contraception as a perimenopause option for appropriate patients
  • Prompt gynecology or imaging referral for postmenopausal bleeding
Rule out, then relieve
10

Heart, brain & long-term prevention

Heart disease, osteoporosis, and dementia risk all rise after menopause. The transition is the moment to establish a baseline and a plan.

How we manage it
  • Lipids, blood pressure, glucose, and inflammatory markers with physician review
  • Personalized prevention plan: exercise, nutrition, sleep, and risk-based medication
  • Optional early cancer screening (Galleri) and full-body MRI through GenieMD Elora
  • Age-appropriate mammogram, cervical, and colon screening reminders
Precision longevity
How it works

From first symptom to a plan that keeps adjusting

Most women get a 15-minute visit and a shrug. WHealth is designed so the evaluation is thorough, the plan is written down, and someone checks back.

01

Tell HelloGenie

Describe your symptoms, cycle history, and goals to the AI Doctor. It flags what matters and gets you to the right visit.

02

Screen & score

Validated questionnaires (Menopause Rating Scale, PHQ-9, GAD-7, ISI) establish your baseline.

03

Labs at Quest

Only the tests you need: thyroid, iron, metabolic, vitamin D, hormones when they will change the plan.

04

Physician visit

A video visit with a GenieMD Medical Group doctor who reviews everything with you and discusses options.

05

Your care plan

Prescriptions sent to your pharmacy, supplements, lifestyle targets, and referrals, all documented.

06

Ongoing follow-up

Dose adjustments, side-effect checks, and re-scoring through your Dynamic Care Plan and dashboard.

Relief can start in weeksMany vasomotor and sleep treatments show effect within the first several weeks; your plan is re-scored so you can see the change.
Care that continuesMenopause is a transition, not an appointment. Your care team stays with you as symptoms shift and long-term prevention takes priority.
The treatment toolkit

Hormonal, non-hormonal, and everything that supports both

Not every woman should take hormone therapy, and not every woman wants to. WHealth physicians draw from the full range of evidence-based options and explain the trade-offs plainly.

Hormone therapy

For eligible women, the most effective treatment for hot flashes, night sweats, and bone protection.

  • Estradiol patches, gels, sprays, and tablets
  • Micronized progesterone or progestins to protect the uterus
  • Low-dose vaginal estrogen for genitourinary symptoms
  • Individualized dose, route, and duration with periodic review

Non-hormonal prescriptions

Effective alternatives when hormones are not appropriate or not preferred.

  • Neurokinin-receptor antagonists for hot flashes
  • Low-dose paroxetine and other SSRIs or SNRIs
  • Gabapentin, oxybutynin, clonidine where suitable
  • Ospemifene or prasterone for painful sex

Supplements & lifestyle

Coaching that targets the levers with the strongest evidence.

  • Calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, and omega-3s as indicated
  • Strength training and protein targets for muscle and bone
  • Sleep timing, alcohol and caffeine, and heat management
  • Stress and mindfulness strategies for sleep and mood

Screening & prevention

Because the transition is also the start of long-term risk.

  • DEXA bone density, lipids, A1c, blood pressure
  • 50+ biomarker panel with physician review
  • Galleri multi-cancer early detection (optional)
  • Mammogram, cervical, and colon screening coordination
i
Honest about hormone therapyCurrent guidance from The Menopause Society supports hormone therapy for symptomatic women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause who have no contraindications, where benefits generally outweigh risks. It is not right for everyone, including some women with a history of breast cancer, blood clots, or stroke. Your physician will review your personal history and explain the evidence before anything is prescribed.

Questions

What women ask us first

How do I know if I'm in perimenopause?

Perimenopause is diagnosed by symptoms and cycle changes, not a single blood test, because hormone levels swing from week to week. If you are in your late 30s or 40s with changing periods plus new sleep, mood, or heat symptoms, that pattern is the signal. A WHealth physician will review your history and order labs only where they change the plan, for example to check thyroid or iron.

Is hormone therapy safe?

For most healthy women who start within 10 years of menopause or before age 60, current guidelines consider hormone therapy a reasonable option with benefits that generally outweigh risks. It is not appropriate for everyone; a history of breast cancer, blood clots, stroke, or certain liver conditions changes the picture. Your physician will go through your personal history and explain the real evidence, and there are effective non-hormonal alternatives if hormones are not right for you.

Do you treat hair loss and skin changes, or only hot flashes?

Both. Hair and skin changes are among the most common and least discussed effects of the transition. WHealth evaluates the contributors (hormones, thyroid, iron, stress), then uses prescription and lifestyle options with realistic timelines.

I had breast cancer. Can you still help?

Yes. Many cancer survivors experience intense menopause symptoms from treatment. Systemic hormone therapy is usually not an option, but non-hormonal medications for hot flashes, sleep strategies, non-hormonal vaginal treatments, and bone protection can make a real difference. Your WHealth physician will coordinate with your oncology team as needed.

Do I need to come in for labs?

Only when labs will change the plan. When they are needed, GenieMD orders them at a Quest Diagnostics location near you and the results flow back to your physician and your dashboard.
