Hot Flashes, Mood Swings and Hope: Suffer in Silence No Longer! Thank the LORD because my sister drives me up the wall with the hot flashes she deals with. Although, if truth be none I think I’ve having them as well. Just don’t tell David or Charlie please.
JumpstartMD is empowering women with real solutions for perimenopause and menopause
IRVINE, Calif. – (May 22, 2025) – There’s something that half of the population experiences in their lifetime, and we hear very little about it. Recently, celebrities such as Oprah and Halle Barry are starting to talk openly about it.
Millions of women around the Country suffer from the life-changing symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause, not realizing that there is help available. There are science-backed options available that will make them feel better and ready to take on the next stage of their life. JumpstartMD is joining the revolutionizing movement in healthcare regarding how (peri)menopause is addressed and talked about.
“For far too long, women have been brushed off on this issue and told to just deal with it, which is simply unacceptable,” said Parham Javaherian, chief executive officer of JumpstartMD. “Perimenopause and menopause deserve the same rigor, attention, and innovation as any other health change or milestone. We aim to break the taboo, cut through the misinformation, and elevate the conversation with compassion and evidence-based care.”
JumpstartMD is on a mission to change how this issue is handled in the country. Their new initiative aims to treat the symptoms women are experiencing, prevent future health risks,improve health-span, and transform the way society views this time in a woman’s life. They are working to normalize it, validate it, and empower women with knowledge and support so they no longer suffer in silence.
Perimenopause is considered the transition to menopause, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. They report that during that transitional period, many women experience symptoms, as hormone levels randomly change. This period takes place 2-8 years prior to going into menopause and begins mid-to-late 40s.
A woman is considered in menopause once she has not had a period for 12 consecutive months. Postmenopause is the period once a woman is in menopause, where the symptoms could change, but there may be an increased risk for osteoporosis and heart disease, according to the Cleveland Clinic, due to the low estrogen levels.
Some of the most common perimenopause and menopause symptoms, according to the National Institutes of Health, include hot flashes, night sweats, changes in one’s period, loss of bladder control, problems with sleep, changes in vaginal health and sexuality, and mood changes. Women may find sex to be more painful, and they may experience more irritability. Additionally, their body may feel different, as it could lead to weight gain, thinner skin, and changes in body fat distribution.
JumpstartMD understands that women need an approach to addressing the issue that is tailored to what they are experiencing. They have created a comprehensive approach to help women in perimenopause and menopause with a program that offers:
Thorough Hormonal Assessments—Evaluating estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid levels, and more to identify individual imbalances. The changes in hormone levels during this transitional period often lead to the uncomfortable symptoms and health risks that women experience.
Personalized Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) – Thoughtfully prescribed and monitored to safely relieve symptoms and restore quality of life. According to research published in the November 2024 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, hormone replacement therapy is considered the most effective treatment for common symptoms of menopause, yet only around 5% of women take it. More information needs to be provided to women to let them know safe options are available for them to consider.
Lifestyle, Nutritional, and Weight Management Support – Integrated coaching that addresses the whole woman, not just her hormones. All of these things together can help with managing symptoms. When women prioritize self-care, they often feel fewer symptoms and have a better transitional experience overall.
Expert Medical Oversight – Ongoing support from a team of clinicians deeply committed to women’s health. While most health professionals either brush off menopausal symptoms or are simply uneducated on the topic, JumpstartMD provides compassion and understanding and uses science-backed solutions to help every step of the way.
“We need a cultural shift so that this issue is not overlooked but is given the consideration and attention it deserves,” said Dr. Sean Bourke, founder and chief medical officer at JumpstartMD. “We are happy to be at the forefront of helping to make it a more comfortable experience for women to transition. We help them look and feel their best to get the most health and life out of those years.”
