The Perimenopause Method

Most high-achieving women in their 40s are undernourished, overextended, depleted, and dismissed.

✔️ You’ve brought it up to your doctor – and left with more questions than answers
✔️ You’ve Googled your symptoms at midnight trying to figure it out
✔️ You’ve tried the supplements and pushed through the fatigue.

And you still don’t feel like yourself:
exhaustion, weight changes, mood swings, disrupted sleep.

It’s not a lack of effort — and it’s not just hormones.

Your body is running on low fuel, constantly “on,” and stuck in a pattern it can’t recover from. That’s why nothing you’re doing works.

And it’s exactly what we fix inside The Perimenopause Method.

A 12-week program for high-achieving, health conscious women 40+ who are tired of doing everything “right” and still not getting results.

Get a clear, personalized plan to get your body working again – without overcomplicating it.

✔ Sleep through the night and wake up clear-headed
✔ More stable moods (less rollercoaster days)
✔ Energy that actually lasts (without relying on caffeine)
✔ Strategic testing + targeted support
✔ A well-nourished body you understand and feel good in

Get Started

This is for you if…

❥ You’re a high-achieving woman 40+ who wants real answers – no guessing
❥ You’re tired of being dismissed or told your labs are “normal”
❥ You want a clear, personalized plan that works for your body
❥ You’re ready to follow through with changes that move the needle

This isn’t for you if…

❌ You’re looking for a quick fix or aren’t willing to make consistent changes
❌ You’re not in a place to prioritize your health right now
❌ You expect frequent, unlimited 1:1 support
❌ You’re currently pregnant, early postpartum, or navigating an acute crisis

How we’re different:

✔️ We don’t guess; we look at the full picture and use data that matters
✔️ We focus on what your body actually needs; not inflated protocols
✔️ You’re not handed a plan and left on your own; you get support to implement it
✔️ This isn’t a quick fix; it’s a personalized approach that creates lasting change

Month 1 – Stabilize Your Body

Start with what matters most: supporting your body so it can actually respond.

Are you eating enough to support your body?
Are your meals structured in a way that supports energy + metabolism?
Are you constantly in “go mode” with no real recovery or rest?
Are you properly hydrated?

We identify what’s holding you back—and fix that first.

Month 2 – Personalize & Optimize

Once your body is more supported, we go deeper and tailor your plan.

Personalized plan based on mineral testing + blood work review (BYO or buy our panel)
Targeted support for gut + detox pathways
Guidance on hormone therapy options, if appropriate

No guessing—just targeted, personalized adjustments.

Month 3 – Implement & Refine

This is where it all comes together and becomes sustainable.

Build consistency without overwhelm
Troubleshoot real-life challenges
Provide ongoing support + accountability

So you don’t fall off or end up back where you started.

3️⃣ Functional Testing

As your body is more supported, we use the right testing to better understand what’s happening beneath the surface. HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) is included to assess your mineral status, stress response, and metabolism. We also review blood work (bring your own based on our list or purchase our panel):

✔️ Stress response & adrenal patterns
✔️ Blood sugar & metabolic shifts
✔️ Thyroid function
✔️ Signs of inflammation
✔️ Nutrient gaps
✔️ Midlife hormone patterns

Perimenopause is a transition that can last years – and many women want continued support as their body shifts. After completing The Perimenopause Method, you’re invited to continue in the Integration Membership.

✔ One complimentary month – so you don’t lose momentum
✔ Quarterly check-ins to assess your progress and adjust plan
✔ Continued client portal & resource access
✔ Personalized community support Mon–Thurs
✔ Member pricing on testing, supplements and DIY courses
✔ Add-on gut testing available if deeper insights are needed

Most women stay because they finally found support that actually works.

Your Investment (What You’re Really Getting)

✔️ Clear answers about what’s actually going on in your body
✔️A personalized plan (not generic advice)
✔️ Support implementing it – so you actually see results
✔️ Strategic testing that makes sense

Both options include a complimentary month of continued support, so your progress doesn’t stop at 12 weeks. Then you’ll have the option to continue as long as you need.

This is for women who are ready to stop spinning their wheels – and finally get answers and results.

Claudia Petrilli, Functional Health & Integrative Nutrition Coach, host of Perimenopause Simplified podcast, and creator of The Perimenopause Method.

I know what it’s like to be dismissed by doctors while struggling with debilitating periods, digestive issues, thyroid nodules, and perimenopause symptoms. Advocating for my own health and pursuing advanced training changed my life and became my mission.

For over a decade, I’ve helped women understand their bodies, advocate for themselves, and feel like themselves again. My training spans integrative nutrition, functional health, hormones, advanced lab testing, and HRT.

Tonya Romano, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner with specialized training in gut health, hormones, blood chemistry, and functional testing.

Tonya experienced menopause in her mid-40s, which fueled her passion for women’s health during this pivotal transition.

She holds a B.S. in Biology & Environmental Science and is a Restorative Wellness Practitioner, Functional Blood Chemistry Specialist, Certified Dietary Supplement Specialist, and Instant HTMA Professional, with advanced training in perimenopause and HRT. Her down-to-earth demeanor will make you feel understood and supported.

I dealt with fatigue, weight gain, joint pain, migraines, anxiety, depression, acid reflux, and heavy periods.

Now my fatigue, depression and anxiety have improved, my bloating and acid reflux have greatly improved, and I used to get migraines daily, but now it’s only about 2 times per month. My joint pain is better and I was able to start working out again. According to my doctor, my visceral fat rating went from a 13 down to a 9.

I feel as though I’m much more equipped when it comes to my health and confident in my body. I don’t feel crazy anymore. I’ve been recommending you to so many women, because there’s such a lack of education around midlife health. Thank you again for everything! It was a journey; a good one. -Kelli M.

I was extremely lethargic, had little motivation, wanted to stay home and avoid the world. I did not feel like myself and my sleep was awful.

Every improvement made is because of the guidance and information I received in The Perimenopause Method!

I am sleeping so much better and wake up feeling great. The diet suggestions, HTMA supplement regimen & starting HRT has made such a difference.

I don’t feel like I’m going crazy, lost, hopeless or alone. I really liked getting my test results with detailed explanations from Claudia & Tonya.

If you’re a woman in your 40’s, TPM is a community of women going through similar things. The knowledge and expert guidance you receive is priceless. I am so happy with my decision and am feeling happier and healthier than I have in years. -Melanie B.

I was struggling with sleep, had severe insomnia and night sweats. I was also very irritable and had no boundaries in my life. I had begun HRT with an online company, but the support was not adequate.

I’ve had HUGE IMPROVEMENTS thanks to Claudia, Tonya & my NP. We figured out the best HRT plan, supplements from my HTMA, and how to implement boundaries at work and home.

I had gone to multiple doctors, but had no idea this was perimenopause. The program really educated me.

When I joined, I was in a bad place, having just moved and recently ending a relationship. I really needed support from other women and I received this and more!

I liked having data from the testing to support how I felt and understand how I could feel better. If you’re a woman struggling, really consider joining. The education and support is so helpful. Perimenopause is TOUGH and you shouldn’t have to be alone. -Summer

I was suffering from high anxiety – going out in public was a challenge for me.

Since joining, my anxiety has decreased a lot!

The program was very helpful; I learned so much. They made me think differently about the foods I eat and the products I use.

The testing helped me see which minerals were low in my body and how to increase those levels through food and supplements. I felt better fairly quickly and received great support. You don’t have to suffer alone – there is help out there. -Brooke W.

I definitely recommend this program to any woman who is struggling in their 40s! Thanks to the podcast, I had started a lot of the work on my own, but having Claudia and Tonya to help me along the way has been very useful.

The HTMA test was super insightful and led me to add minerals to my daily routine that were missing, despite eating healthy. The support and knowing others are also struggling has been helpful. I felt lost and alone before.

This program makes me feel like I’m supported and understood. Both Claudia and Tonya are very attentive! Thanks so much for your continued help! -Tara M.

I was dealing with heavy periods, migraines, fatigue, weight gain, hormonal acne, hair loss, anxiety and depression. I wasn’t getting enough sleep and had to take naps to get through the day. I was bloated and had acid reflux.

Since joining, I’m feeling so much better! I’m more energetic – no naps anymore, I’m able to power through the day, have energy to cook dinner, and am sleeping like a baby.

No more energy drinks, not gorging on snacks and don’t get debilitating migraines anymore. Everything used to ache – I don’t have that anymore. My libido has been better and I’m really happy.

I was miserable coming into this program, I even cried to you. It’s been a night and day difference! You have changed my life and I owe so much to you. You have been such a blessing in my health journey. -Shannon W.

Week-long migraines, digestive issues, and no energy were the norm for me. My relationships and work were affected and I was spiraling into a depression. I tried to do things on my own, bought supplements and ordered lab work. But I didn’t know what I was doing and wasn’t finding success.

That’s when I found Claudia. I had the drive and motivation to get better, but I needed her expertise to guide me. Claudia has extensive knowledge in this space, but also experienced many of the symptoms I did. Knowing she truly ‘gets me’ was very important.

Claudia explained my labs and we finally understood the root causes of my major symptoms. What a relief when you understand what’s going on in your body, because then you know what path to take.

I’m feeling light, my mind is clear, I have energy throughout the day, rarely get headaches, and most importantly, I feel like myself again…but a better version.

Claudia is extremely gentle and empathetic, truly cares and will give gentle nudges to make sure you don’t get stuck. If you’re ready to do the work, Claudia is the best coach to guide you on your health journey. Her expertise and wisdom are worth the investment. -Liz A.

I had headaches, constipation, heartburn, weight gain, depression, fatigue, hot flashes, and low libido. After completing the program, my hot flashes have stopped, I’m taking my headache medication much less, my mood is so much better, sleep has been good and I’m eliminating daily. I’m no longer taking antacid medication and don’t experience heartburn anymore. I loved the resources and access to the tests. It was exactly what I needed. –Amy B.

I had constant irritability, anxiety, and bloating. I would have stomach pain, especially after eating and I’d wake up in the middle of the night sweating. I also had heavy, painful periods with clotting, PMS, and wanted to lose some weight. After doing the program, I have high energy, I sleep soundly, and my anxiety has improved so much! I feel more calm, PMS is almost gone. Bloating is so much better and my clothes fit a lot better. I feel all around more comfortable on the inside & out! -Mery A.

The first word that comes to mind is: empowering. Claudia’s emphasis on education and the tools she provides has made me feel confident that I’ll be able to continue what she teaches in the future. Claudia was accessible and used her expertise to help me understand my symptoms. I was struggling with PMS, painful cramps, frequent headaches, low energy, anxiety, and brain fog. Now my cramps are more manageable, I rarely get headaches, my energy is back, my thinking is clear, and my PMS has hugely improved. Thank you! -Megan P.

I had been suffering from migraines for years and reached out to Claudia, hoping she could get to the root of the problem – something no doctor had been able to do.

Claudia understood the frustrations I had and started talking about a ‘functional’ health approach – it totally resonated with me. Along with her approachable and kind demeanor, I was eager to work with her.

After my tests and an evaluation, Claudia recommended a plan that reduced my migraine length from 3 days to 3 hours in a matter of weeks! After an additional tweak to my regimen, I NOW HAVE NO MORE MIGRAINES! Not to mention, more energy and less stress because of working with Claudia! Thank you, thank you, thank you! -Martina E.

I was diagnosed with Celiac and struggled with GI issues for years. I didn’t know what I could eat that wouldn’t make me sick or experience pain. I have anxiety the weeks before and during my period. I get stress headaches, anger here and there, compulsive thinking, acne, brain fog and tiredness.

Now I have more energy and my anxiety and libido are much better. I’ve stopped feeling sick after meals, am able to eat more foods and my stomach feels good! I created better boundaries with my family and kids, especially at bedtime. I’ve been able to implement morning movement and breath work too. Working with Claudia helped me so much. -Donna B.

I had severe anxiety, depression, trouble sleeping at night, fatigue during the day, was unable to lose weight, heavy periods, mood swings and constipation.

Now my anxiety has drastically improved. My periods are much lighter and the “bitchy moods” have gone away. I joined to address my anxiety, which it did, along with so many other health benefits! I lost 25 pounds and am back to my pre-baby weight.

Thank you Claudia for educating me to be the best version of myself. I still have work to do, but am putting in the effort every day! -Carly M.

I had been experiencing anxiety, hair loss, hair growth in unwanted places, acne, mood swings, depression, tremors, and fatigue.

After doing some functional testing with Claudia and going through her program, my “fight or flight” is gone. I have no anxiety, energy is great, sleep has been really good, I’m not constipated, my acne has improved and I have less sugar/carb cravings.

I no longer feel achy and can go for long morning walks with my son, which he enjoys just as much as I do. Thank you again so, so much for helping me heal. – Valeri L.

I was struggling with constant bloating, constipation, daily headaches, irritability with my family, and PMS. Nothing my doctor suggested was helping. I was given meds to mask my symptoms, instead of getting to the root causes. I was tired of feeling terrible and knew there must be a better option.

The testing showed the state of my gut and mineral imbalances. By taking care of my gut and adding the right minerals, I feel SO much better. My bloating and constipation have greatly improved, I no longer get daily headaches, I’m not taking any prescription medications, I am a lot more patient with my spouse and kids, and my PMS improved substantially.

I absolutely recommend this program. I received the support I needed. It was so nice to have someone helping you understand what is really going on with your body and answering questions in real time. You were always there to help and I will forever be grateful. -Jenn B.

I was bloated, tired, had sleep problems, weight gain, anxiety, constipation, heavy periods, cramps, and infertility. I wanted to make sustainable lifestyle changes. As a nurse, I knew what traditional healthcare could offer me and I wanted something different.

The data we got from my tests were incredibly helpful in pinpointing areas of improvement. I liked the resources and learning how my everyday routines affected my health (for better or worse!). The customized plan is extremely helpful – simple information that I could implement gradually.

I no longer feel bloated after meals, I poop more than I did before, and I don’t crave sweets as much. I have full control over my day and life, and all I need to do is make choices that I know are good for me. I also lost 8 pounds which is more than I’ve been able to lose in almost three years! -Hannah J.
