The post-menopausal years can be both a milestone and a mystery. For many women in Orange County, this phase brings not only physical changes like fatigue, hot flashes, or joint pain—but also emotional and mental shifts that may include mood swings, anxiety, or a sense of loss. You may feel like you're no longer yourself, or that conventional treatments haven’t provided the answers you need.
But here’s the good news: you don’t have to simply cope—you can thrive. This season of life can be rich with renewed energy, mental clarity, emotional strength, and spiritual purpose.
At the Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine, nationally recognized Dr. Mark Stengler offers a unique approach that blends the best of natural medicine with Christian faith-based care. Known as “America’s Natural Doctor,” Dr. Stengler provides personalized, science-backed care that supports the whole woman—body, mind, and spirit.
Whether you’re in Irvine, Newport Beach, Mission Viejo, or anywhere in Orange County, you have access to his trusted care through convenient in-person visits at our Encinitas clinic or telehealth appointments from the comfort of your home.
Post-menopause begins when a woman has gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. While this marks the end of reproductive cycles, it often signals the beginning of new health challenges—many of which are tied to deeper hormonal and cellular imbalances.
In post-menopause, the body experiences a significant decline in three key hormones:
When these hormone levels drop, a woman’s physical, emotional, and mental well-being can be impacted in profound ways.
Many women in Orange County experience one or more of the following symptoms:
These aren’t just “normal signs of aging”—they’re signals that your body needs support.
Many women in Orange County begin their post-menopausal care journey with conventional medicine—only to discover that standard treatments often leave much to be desired.
Typical treatments may include:
While these approaches can offer short-term relief, they often fall short in the long run.
Most importantly, these treatments often do little to restore true wellness.
Women deserve more than a prescription—they deserve a care plan that supports every aspect of their health. Unfortunately, standard models often overlook critical areas, such as:
At the Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine, care goes far beyond symptom management. Dr. Mark Stengler takes a root-cause, whole-person approach—one that is grounded in science, supported by faith, and fully personalized to each woman’s post-menopausal needs.
Your journey to wellness begins with a comprehensive health evaluation, including advanced lab testing to uncover often-overlooked imbalances in:
These tests form the foundation of your individualized healing plan—based on your unique biochemistry, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Dr. Stengler creates care plans that blend evidence-based natural medicine with Christian-integrative values. These often include:
Every step is tailored to the woman in front of him—because no two women experience post-menopause the same way.
Hormone balance plays a central role in post-menopausal health, and one of the most effective tools Dr. Mark Stengler offers to restore that balance is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).
BHRT uses plant-derived hormones that are biologically identical to those naturally produced by a woman’s body. Unlike synthetic hormone treatments, which often come with harsh side effects, BHRT is designed to mimic your body's natural chemistry, offering a gentler, safer, and more effective approach.
Many women across Orange County choose BHRT under Dr. Stengler’s supervision because it is:
With Dr. Stengler’s precise, evidence-based method, BHRT becomes more than hormone therapy—it becomes a personalized wellness tool to help you regain your vitality in the post-menopausal years.
Hormone therapy is just one piece of the puzzle. At the Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine, women in Orange County receive comprehensive care that includes nutrition, lifestyle, and—when desired—faith-based emotional support. This whole-body strategy helps you not only feel better, but also build a foundation for lasting wellness.
Dr. Stengler emphasizes an anti-inflammatory, hormone-supportive diet that helps stabilize blood sugar, improve metabolism, and support hormone detoxification. Foods rich in fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats are emphasized, while inflammatory foods like sugar, processed grains, and chemical additives are reduced or eliminated.
Based on lab testing and symptom review, Dr. Stengler may recommend targeted, pharmaceutical-grade supplements such as:
Each supplement is selected to meet your specific needs, ensuring safety, effectiveness, and synergy with other parts of your treatment plan.
Dr. Stengler and his team also provide practical, faith-informed coaching on:
This integrative lifestyle care empowers women across Orange County to live fully—body, mind, and spirit.
