Perimenopause is a transitional time, like puberty in reverse. As hormone production shifts from a predictable pattern to an unpredictable one, progesterone becomes erratic first, often driving irregular periods, and estrogen's gradual decline is usually behind hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep issues.
Karen F. Miller, MD created Perimenopause Matters after seeing the same gap show up again and again in her practice: women moving through this transition without real answers, often met with symptom-based care instead of an explanation of what's actually happening in their bodies.
This course teaches the same functional medicine framework she uses with her patients, so you can understand what's actually happening in your body during perimenopause and know how to address it.
What you'll learn
In this course, Karen F. Miller, MD breaks down the hormonal shifts behind perimenopause and gives you root-cause guidance for the symptoms most women experience.
✓ Understand Your Hormones: Learn what's actually happening hormonally during perimenopause and why symptoms show up when they do.
✓ Build Your Foundation: See how Dr Miller's functional medicine framework can help address common complaints before they escalate.
✓ Address Your Symptoms: Get root-cause groupings behind common complaints like hot flashes, irregular cycles, belly fat, and brain fog.
✓ Make Informed Choices: Understand your options for hormone support, testosterone, and supplementation, so you can make informed, empowered decisions about which treatment is best for you.
"I went through perimenopause without real, personalized answers, just generic advice that wasn't built for my body. I created this course to give you the foundational knowledge to make informed decisions about your own symptoms and achieve the best possible outcomes while addressing them." — Dr. Karen F. Miller
