    A Menopause Specialist in Atlanta — Not a Generalist Who Also Sees Menopause Patients

    There's a difference between a doctor who treats menopause and a specialist who built their practice around it. When menopause care is what a provider does all day, every day — the testing is deeper, the treatment is more nuanced, the conversations are longer, and the outcomes are better. Pause & Reset is that specialist practice.

    What We Treat

    What 'Specialist' Means When It Comes to Menopause

    Eighty percent of OB-GYN residents receive no formal menopause training. At Pause & Reset, perimenopause and menopause care is Dr. Nina's exclusive clinical focus. Comprehensive testing with 15+ markers and functional ranges, extended consultations, treatment protocols addressing the full system, and structured monitoring.

    We see women from their late thirties with early perimenopause through their fifties managing established menopause. Each gets the same depth of evaluation and quality of attention.

    Deeper Testing, Longer Appointments, Better Outcomes

    45-to-60-minute first visit. Comprehensive lab work with cycle timing when relevant. Results consultation connecting every finding to your symptoms. Personalized treatment plan. Ongoing monitoring that evolves with you.

    Treatment is evidence-based: bioidentical hormones, thyroid optimization, metabolic intervention, GLP-1 management, nutritional strategy, peptide therapy, IV support, pelvic floor rehabilitation — whatever your specific picture requires.

    The full scope of specialist menopause care at Pause & Reset

    This is what it looks like when menopause isn't a sidebar — it's the entire practice. Every service designed for the transition, guided by your data.

    Hormone Optimization

    Bioidentical Estrogen (Patch, Cream, Gel)

    Relieves hot flashes, restores cognition, protects bone and heart. Transdermal preferred for lowest risk. Molecularly identical to your body's own estradiol.

    Bioidentical Micronized ProgesteroneOften the first intervention

    Restores deep sleep, calms anxiety, stabilizes mood, protects the uterine lining. Taken at bedtime — leverages the natural GABA-enhancing sedative effect.

    Bioidentical Testosterone

    Libido, energy, motivation, muscle, cognitive sharpness. Female-appropriate dosing. The most undertested hormone in women's health.

    Local Vaginal Estrogen

    Targeted tissue restoration for dryness, painful sex, UTIs, and urgency. Minimal systemic absorption. Safe for nearly all women.

    DHEA

    Adrenal precursor supporting testosterone and estrogen production. Available systemically or as vaginal formulation.

    Precision Diagnostics

    15+ Marker Comprehensive PanelWhere every plan starts

    Hormones, full thyroid with antibodies, insulin, inflammatory markers, nutrients. Functional optimal ranges. The evaluation that changes the trajectory.

    DUTCH Testing

    Hormone metabolism mapping. Shows HOW your body processes estrogen — favorable vs unfavorable pathways.

    Cortisol Rhythm Assessment

    4-point stress hormone mapping. Reveals the cortisol patterns behind unexplained insomnia, weight resistance, and anxiety.

    DEXA Body Composition Scan

    Independent measurement of fat, lean mass, and bone density. Critical for weight management and osteoporosis prevention.

    Metabolic & Weight Management

    GLP-1 Medication Management (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound)Hormone-optimized

    Weight loss medication optimized alongside your hormone therapy. The 2026 research shows hormones make GLP-1s work 35% better.

    Insulin Resistance Treatment

    Fasting insulin testing + metabolic intervention. Catches the weight gain driver that standard glucose testing misses.

    Nutrition & Metabolic Strategy

    Protein prioritization, blood sugar stabilization, anti-inflammatory patterns. Not a diet — a metabolic recalibration.

    Targeted Supplementation

    Lab-guided magnesium, vitamin D, omega-3s, iron, B12. Evidence-based doses for YOUR deficiencies.

    Advanced & Supportive Therapies

    Peptide Therapy (BPC-157, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, and others)

    Tissue repair, sleep architecture, body composition, and recovery. Prescribed in defined cycles within your broader protocol.

    IV Nutrient Therapy

    Lab-customized infusions for depletion that oral supplements can't reach. Magnesium, B vitamins, vitamin C, glutathione, NAD+.

    Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

    Leaking, urgency, painful sex, prolapse symptoms. Local estrogen + progressive muscle rehabilitation restores control and comfort.

    Thyroid OptimizationThe hidden co-pilot

    Full panel with antibodies catches Hashimoto's and subclinical hypothyroidism that standard TSH screening misses.

    Gut Health & Estrobolome Support

    Your gut bacteria metabolize estrogen. When the microbiome shifts during perimenopause, bloating, food sensitivities, and constipation follow.

    Adrenal & Cortisol Support

    Cortisol competes with progesterone for raw materials. Breaking the stress-hormone cycle is often the unlock that makes everything else work.

    Twenty-two services. One principle: your data drives every decision. A menopause specialist who prescribes without testing thoroughly isn't a specialist. At Pause & Reset, comprehensiveness isn't a buzzword — it's the minimum standard.
