Lifestyle Medicine and Mindfulness for Perimenopause and Menopause
This study is looking at how a program called "Navigating Menopause with a Mindfulness-Based Group Medical Visit" might help women experiencing perimenopause and menopause. This program includes physical check-ups, education on healthy living, mindfulness practices, and group discussions. Researchers want to see if this approach can improve stress, the body's natural bacteria (microbiome), and overall quality of life. You may be able to join if you are a woman between 40 and 60 years old, experiencing irregular periods, and have at least one menopause symptom. The study will measure your blood pressure and Body Mass Index (BMI) to see if the program is successful. The current recruitment status is unclear.
