By 2030, nearly 500 million women worldwide between ages 45 and 55 will reach menopause, roughly 6 percent of the world’s population, yet medical research has long overlooked perimenopause — PubMed lists more than 127,000 articles on pregnancy but fewer than 700 on perimenopause. With fewer than one in five OB/GYN residency programs offering formal menopause training, women are left with stigma, silence, and fragmented care, turning instead to TikTok, at-home tests, and med-spas for guidance that is often incomplete or unsafe. Recognizing this gap, Tia recently launched the podcast It’s All Connected, which explores how hormonal changes affect every system of the body — and serves as a resource for both patients and providers seeking credible, evidence-based information in an area that remains vastly under-studied.
The Hormone & Vitality Assessment is designed to replace one-off visits and self-diagnosis with an ongoing partnership between a woman and her Tia care team. The program includes an in-depth assessment, followed by dedicated follow-ups, with continuing care through Tia’s integrated model. During the assessment, providers focus on deep listening to validate the patient’s experience, recognize symptom patterns, and build a tailored evaluation plan, often beginning treatment right away. At the follow-up, providers revisit the patient’s experience, review the impact of any interventions, and adjust the care plan as needed. Care then continues longitudinally, with access to Tia’s full-service model, including mental health, nutrition, weight management, and longevity support.
Unlike other solutions that treat perimenopause as a single problem to “fix,” Tia’s integrated model recognizes that symptoms often overlap with thyroid, autoimmune, cardiovascular, and mental health concerns. The program is built to rule out mimics, integrate evidence-based options — including HRT when appropriate — and pair medical care with wellness strategies like acupuncture and nutrition.
“Your body is changing. You’re not imagining it, and you’re not alone,” said Yost. “We’ve never had this level of clinical understanding paired with a societal willingness to talk openly about this life stage.”
The Hormone & Vitality Assessment is available beginning today across all Tia clinics and virtually in existing Tia markets. Women can visit AskTia.com to learn more and book an appointment.
