Michelle’s story: From Exhaustion to Energy

Michelle, 48, arrived exhausted and overwhelmed. Hot flashes disrupted her sleep. Morning brain fog made meetings feel like uphill climbs which was starting to affect her professional performance. With no prior history of anxiety, it gradually crept in without warning. Despite eating well and exercising, her weight continued to climb. Like so many women, she had been told to “wait it out.” She wanted to reclaim her life.

At MOOV, we started with a comprehensive conversation about her symptoms, history, routines, and goals, followed by advanced labs and sleep tracking. Within days, we had a plan she could trust. Three months later, Michelle was sleeping through the night, thinking clearly, and moving her body with confidence. She signed up for her first half marathon and felt like herself again, only steadier, more self-aware, and supported.

How personalized care made the difference

Michelle’s transformation wasn’t the result of trial and error. It was intentional care: evidence-informed, personalized, and integrative—hallmarks of MOOV’s approach to menopause and midlife wellness. Her plan reflected her story, her goals, and her physiology, uncovered through expanded diagnostics and applied precision medicine. At MOOV, we know that lasting wellness begins with thoughtful listening, advanced testing, and individualized treatment that honors the whole woman.

Spending time with a doctor who listens

Care started with time to listen and understand. Extended visits and direct communication meant Michelle never felt rushed or dismissed. Her values shaped every decision.

Next-generation diagnostics

Targeted hormone panels, micronutrient testing, metabolic markers, genomics, and sleep data revealed suboptimal and erratic estrogen, borderline progesterone, and a meaningful B12 deficit. These insights guided precise interventions and highlighted the importance of integrative menopause care.

Evidence-informed hormone optimization

We initiated low-dose transdermal estrogen with cyclical micronized progesterone, prioritizing symptom relief, midlife viatality, and safety as part of a hormone therapy for menopause care plan. Dosing was tailored and adjusted with regular check-ins, resulting in high benefits and minimal side effects.

Nutrition that works in real life for midlife women

We designed an anti-inflammatory, protein-forward plan that stabilized blood sugar, nurtured gut health, and promoted muscle strength, mood balance, and satiety, pairing tailored nutrition with targeted nutraceutical support.

Movement and sleep reset for menopause wellness

Michelle incorporated strength training twice weekly to protect bone density and metabolism, along with brisk walks most days to support mood, brain health, weight loss, and longevity. We paired this with meal-timing strategies, adaptogens, and a structured bedtime routine. Creating a cool, dark sleep environment allowed her to achieve consistent, restorative rest.

How the care plan comes together

  • We begin with a comprehensive intake that explores symptoms, lifestyle patterns, medical history, and personal goals.
  • Integrated diagnostics follow, assessing hormone balance, cardiometabolic health, micronutrient status, and key markers of sleep and recovery.
  • From there, we build a personalized plan that may include tailored hormone therapy, nutrition strategies, structured training, sleep optimization, and mental health supports. Care continues through a team-based model where clinicians, health coaches, and nutritionists coordinate closely and make adjustments as progress unfolds.
  • Care continues through a team-based approach, where clinicians, health coaches, and nutritionists coordinate closely and adjust as progress unfolds.
