Menopause Experience

Holistic Menopause Care

You Don't Have To White Knuckle This Season

Menopause is not a diagnosis. It’s a powerful physiological transition — and yet for many women it becomes a season marked by confusion, dismissal, and unnecessary suffering.

Hot flashes. Weight gain that doesn’t respond to the same workouts. Brain fog. Anxiety. Rage. Insomnia. Loss of libido. Joint pain. Palpitations. Fatigue. A sense that your body is no longer listening to you.

If you’ve been told “this is just aging,” or handed a prescription without understanding why your body feels this way — you are not alone.

And there is another way.

A Different Kind of Menopause Care

Menopause care shouldn’t be rushed. It shouldn’t be one‑size‑fits‑all. And it shouldn’t leave you feeling like you’re managing this alone.

I practice deeply informed, relationship‑based menopause medicine — combining functional medicine, hormone physiology, and lived clinical experience with hundreds of women navigating this exact transition.

This is not:

  • A quick hormone script and goodbye

  • A supplement list without strategy

  • A virtual‑only, algorithm‑based approach

This is:

  • Thoughtful hormone optimization

  • Advanced testing and interpretation

  • Ongoing communication and support

  • A long‑term partnership through change

Dr. Thorne's Approach to Menopause

Welcome! — I’m Dr. Erin Thorne, a licensed naturopathic doctor and certified functional medicine practitioner specializing in women’s hormone health is Seattle, Washington

. I help women in perimenopause and menopause find clarity and confidence as they navigate hormone changes, symptoms, and treatment options.

Whether you're experiencing hot flashes, brain fog, poor sleep, weight gain, or mood swings, I use advanced hormone testing, personalized nutrition, and bio-identical hormone therapy to get to the root of what’s really going on.

My approach is grounded in the latest science and guided by the evidence-based recommendations of the North American Menopause Society (NAMS), ensuring safe and effective treatment through every phase.

With a functional medicine lens and a deep understanding of female physiology, I help you create a long-term plan that addresses your hormones, metabolism, and overall health — so you can feel like yourself again. Let's go!

What Makes Me Different

I don’t just prescribe hormones.

I understand:

  • How hormones interact with stress, trauma, nervous system tone, and metabolism

  • When symptoms are hormonal — and when they’re not

  • How to adjust, not abandon, therapy over time

Unlike large platform clinics that rely on protocols and speed, this practice is built on clinical nuance and relationship.

You are not expected to manage side effects alone.

This is an ongoing endeavor to achieve your most optimal health.

Ongoing Support & Access

Menopause doesn’t follow appointment schedules.

You’ll have:

  • A long‑term therapeutic relationship

  • The ability to reach out when something shifts

  • Adjustments as your body evolves

  • A practitioner who knows your story

Menopause is not the end of vitality. It’s the beginning of a new relationship with your body — and you deserve experienced guidance as you step into it.

If you’re looking for menopause care

that is:

- Science‑driven but deeply human

- Rooted in hormone physiology and whole‑body health

- Focused on long‑term wellbeing, not temporary fixes

You’re in the right place.
