For too long, women entering midlife have faced a frustrating reality: symptoms of perimenopause and menopause often have been brushed aside, misunderstood, or misdiagnosed. Colleen Grady, NP at Rocky Mountain Regenerative Medicine, witnessed these gaps firsthand both as a clinician and during her own 40s, when she experienced disrupted sleep, changes in digestion and joints, and thinning hair. She saw how conventional care often dismisses symptoms as stress, aging, or depression—affecting women not only physically but emotionally and socially. That narrative is changing with a women’s health program designed exclusively for this pivotal life stage called Thrive, Don’t Just Survive.
Founded in 2017 by Ivy League–trained emergency medicine physicians, Rocky Mountain Regenerative Medicine combines over 35 years of experience and a focus on prevention, vitality, and longevity. Drawing on high-stakes emergency care, the team recognized the limits of traditional “sickcare.” It developed a model that uses advanced diagnostics and science to help patients live, look, and perform at their best for longer.
The program begins with a thorough evaluation: key metabolic, cardiovascular, and hormone biomarkers, a baseline DEXA bone density and body composition scan, and an in-depth consultation to create a tailored treatment plan.
“We have always been an evidence-based, data-driven clinic," says Grady. “It doesn’t make sense to adjust treatment without knowing where you are starting or how to measure success.”
Equally central to the program’s philosophy are education and empowerment. “We devote up to 90 minutes in a single visit, so patients leave with a clear understanding of their results and a plan they can start right away,” Colleen says. An online educational course ensures patients and their partners gain a deeper understanding of hormone health, strengthening communication and relationships.
“I have never seen another hospital or clinic go to the lengths that Colleen has in educating their patient base on such a complex topic,” founder of Rocky Mountain Regenerative Medicine, Dr. Khoshal Latifzai, adds. “The more people know about their bodies and how hormones influence every aspect of life—from mood to energy to relationships—the more empowered they are to live fully and navigate the day-to-day with clarity.”
The first visit is just the start. A dedicated RN follows up after one month, and at three months, patients can choose from a range of follow-up options.
“Women have been underserved for generations, and we wanted to change that,” Colleen says.
“When you do the right thing for the right reasons, growth follows naturally,” Khoshal echoes.
In a healthcare landscape that often asks women to adapt to systems not built for them, Thrive, Don’t Just Survive offers something rare: care that listens, measures, and meets women exactly where they are.
