Your Body Changes After 35—Your Healthcare Should Too

You’re eating well, staying active, and doing all the “right” things—but something still feels off. Maybe your periods are different, your weight is creeping up, or your sleep has gone completely out the window. And when you bring it up at the doctor’s office? You’re told it’s “normal for your age.”

But here’s the truth: your body is changing—and your healthcare needs to change with it.
At Island Wellness Clinic, we specialize in supporting women through these midlife changes with personalized care, advanced hormone testing, and options like bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) designed just for you.

What’s Really Happening in Your 30s and 40s

Around your mid-30s, your reproductive hormones—especially estrogen, progesterone, and even testosterone—begin to fluctuate. This phase is called perimenopause, and it can last for several years before menopause officially begins.

Common symptoms include:

  • Irregular or heavier periods

  • Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability

  • Lower libido

  • Brain fog or forgetfulness

  • Weight gain (especially around the midsection)

  • Fatigue or insomnia

These aren’t just signs of “getting older.” They’re hormonal shifts—and you don’t have to just live with them.

Why Traditional Healthcare Often Falls Short

Standard medical care often misses the early signs of perimenopause and hormone imbalance. You may have been told:

  • “Your labs are normal.”

  • “It’s just stress.”

  • “This is what aging feels like.”

But normal doesn’t mean optimal.
At Island Wellness Clinic, we go deeper. We use comprehensive hormone panels, not just a basic lab test, to understand what’s really going on inside your body.

What Your Healthcare Should Look Like After 35

Whether you’re in the early stages of perimenopause or feeling completely out of balance, your care plan should be:

  • Thorough: We offer in-depth hormone testing beyond just TSH or basic estrogen levels.

  • Personalized: You’ll receive a custom wellness plan that supports your unique symptoms and goals.

  • Holistic: We address the root causes through nutrition, sleep support, supplements, stress management, and when appropriate, bioidentical hormone therapy (HRT).

We believe in helping you feel like yourself again—with science-backed support that evolves as you do.

Should You Consider HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy)?

HRT isn’t just for menopause—it can be a powerful tool for perimenopausal women too. At IWC, we offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy tailored to your individual hormone levels and symptoms.

HRT may help:

  • Improve sleep

  • Support healthy weight and metabolism

  • Reduce brain fog and mood swings

  • Boost energy and libido

  • Slow the aging process from the inside out

Your treatment plan will always be guided by lab results, your health history, and how you feel—not just your age.
