Answers to your menopause and hormone care questions.

Menopause and Hormone Care Questions

Who does Nova Vida Wellness care for?

We care for women of all ages, with a focus on perimenopause, menopause, hormone health, gynecologic concerns, fatigue and weight loss. See all of our services.

What gynecologic concerns do you treat?

We care for a range of gynecologic concerns, including heavy or irregular periods, PMOS (formerly known as PCOS), endometriosis, adenomyosis and fibroids. Because all visits are virtual, we can order labs and imaging at a location near you. If you need an in-person exam or procedure, we’ll help connect you with the right care. Learn more about our gynecologic care.

Do you offer hormone replacement therapy?

Yes. When it’s right for you, we offer hormone therapy, including estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, as well as non-hormonal options. Every plan is personalized to your health history and goals. It’s your body and your choice. We give you clear, honest information about your options and support the decision you make. Learn more about our perimenopause and menopause care.

Do I need a menopause specialist?

Many women look for a menopause-focused provider when their regular doctor isn’t comfortable prescribing HRT or managing their symptoms. At Nova Vida Wellness, perimenopause and menopause care is our focus. Nicole Sanchez, DNP, CRNP, FNP-C, will review your symptoms, health history and risk factors and walk you through every option, including HRT.

Do I need lab work?

Not always. Perimenopause is often diagnosed by symptoms, but labs help us rule out other causes and personalize your care. Learn more about our lab testing.

Menopause Telehealth Visits, Insurance and Booking

Are visits in person or virtual?

What do I need for a telehealth visit?
