Get clarity on what’s driving your symptoms—and a plan for what to do next.
If you’re dealing with fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, poor sleep, mood changes, irregular periods, or other symptoms of perimenopause, it can be hard to know where to start.
Are your hormones changing? Is something else contributing? Would hormone therapy help? What testing do you actually need?
The Comprehensive Strategy Session is designed to help answer those questions.
90-minute visit + standard labs + personalized roadmap | $825
You know something has changed. You just don’t know what to do about it.
Maybe you don’t feel like yourself anymore.
Your sleep is different. Your energy isn't what it used to be. Your periods have changed. You're struggling with brain fog, mood changes, weight gain, hot flashes—or some combination of symptoms that seem to have appeared out of nowhere.
You may have already had labs done and been told everything looks “normal.”
Or maybe you've spent hours researching perimenopause, supplements, hormone replacement therapy, cortisol, thyroid health and metabolic health—and now you have more information, but not necessarily more clarity.
You don't need another generic list of things to try. You need to understand what's happening in your body and what makes sense for you.
This is an in-depth evaluation designed to help us understand the bigger picture behind your symptoms. Rather than assuming everything is hormonal—or ignoring hormones altogether—we’ll look at your symptoms in the context of your whole health picture, including your health history, menstrual and reproductive history, lifestyle, previous testing, medications, supplements and goals.
Together, we’ll identify what deserves further investigation and begin building a clear, individualized plan for moving forward.

Is this right for you?
The Comprehensive Strategy Session may be a good fit if you've noticed changes in how you feel and aren't sure whether perimenopause, menopause, or something else may be contributing.
It's also a good starting point if you're interested in hormone therapy but want a comprehensive evaluation before deciding whether it's right for you.
You may be experiencing:
✓ Changes in your menstrual cycle
✓ Hot flashes or night sweats
✓ Difficulty sleeping
✓ Fatigue or low energy
✓ Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
✓ Mood changes
✓ Changes in weight or body composition
✓ Low libido or other sexual health concerns
Or maybe you simply know you don't feel like yourself—and haven't gotten a clear explanation why.
Hormones matter. But they’re rarely the entire story.
I’m Dr. Katie Brussard, ND, FABNE, a naturopathic physician with advanced training in naturopathic endocrinology. A significant part of my practice is helping women navigate perimenopause, menopause and hormonal changes.
My approach isn’t to assume every symptom is caused by hormones—and it isn’t to dismiss symptoms simply because routine testing looks “normal.”
Instead, I look at the whole clinical picture. That may include hormones, thyroid function, metabolic health, nutrition, sleep, stress, medications, nutrient status and other factors that could be contributing to how you feel.
When appropriate, treatment may include bioidentical hormone therapy (bHRT). For other patients, our priorities may be different.
The goal is to understand your health well enough to make thoughtful decisions about what comes next.
What happens after the Strategy Session?
The Strategy Session can stand on its own. You do not have to enroll in an ongoing program.
You'll receive your personalized recommendations and a clear roadmap for moving forward.
If you would benefit from ongoing support, prescription management, additional testing or more comprehensive treatment, we'll also discuss whether one of my six-month care programs may be appropriate.
There's no obligation to continue.
