For many women, the journey through perimenopause and menopause can feel like navigating uncharted waters—unpredictable, turbulent, and, at times, isolating. Conflicting information regarding the safety and efficacy of hormone replacement therapy, short visit times with doctors, and a limited understanding of the full impact this transition can have on women has led to confusion and uncertainty for both patients and healthcare providers alike. But Dr. Marissa Cavalier views this phase of life as an opportunity for empowerment, restoring vitality, and creating a blueprint for healthy aging, so we can not only add years to our lives, but also bring more life to those years. She understands the importance of a personalized, holistic approach to healing and offers women a sophisticated, evidence-based strategy to reclaim their health and well-being.
Dr. Cavalier understands that hormonal fluctuations cause more than just physical discomfort—they can affect mood, cognition, energy, metabolism and can lead to chronic disease and frailty if not addressed. She believes that no two women experience this transition the same way, which is why each patient is approached as an individual, receiving a comprehensive, tailor-made plan designed to address their unique needs. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, she blends advanced diagnostics with natural medicine, diet, and lifestyle refinement and bioidentical hormone therapy to achieve profound results and lasting wellness.
One of her patients, a 46-year-old woman, came to her after months of struggling with sleep issues, increased irritability, migraines, digestive upset, heavier and more unpredictable periods, weight gain, brain fog, and overwhelming fatigue. She was struggling to keep up with the demands of her job and family, and simply didn’t feel like herself. Dr. Cavalier listened carefully to her symptoms and ran a comprehensive lab panel to assess her thyroid and metabolic function, nutritional status, and hormone levels. Her treatment plan included dietary and lifestyle interventions to improve her metabolism and insulin sensitivity, targeted micronutrients to provide the building blocks needed to heal and repair, and a bioidentical hormone regime tailored to this patient’s unique needs. Within weeks, the patient reported better sleep, improved energy, and clearer thinking, feeling more capable of handling life’s stresses and regaining her joy.
Dr. Cavalier's practice is rooted in the belief that every woman deserves to feel strong, balanced, and vibrant at every stage of life. By offering individualized, science-backed solutions, she empowers her patients to embrace this stage of their lives with confidence, vitality, and renewed well-being.
