Perimenopause and Menopause: A Five-System Clinical Approach

Leslie Fuller, ND and Jillian Moehle, ND

Five organ systems. One hormonal event. Evidence-based protocols.

Why arrhythmias, brain fog, and vaginal dryness appear unrelated when they share a single cause
check
Your patients heal slowly from injury during perimenopause—but imaging looks normal. What’s actually happening at the tissue level.
check
The WHI study was misapplied for decades. Current data on bioidentical hormones contradicts what you were taught.
check
Genitourinary syndrome affects 87% of postmenopausal women, yet only 6-7% receive treatment. Your screening protocol determines who gets helped.

Visceral fat accelerates before hot flashes appear. Why cardiometabolic intervention works only in this narrow window.

CLASS OVERVIEW

Five Modules That Reframe Menopause as Integrated Physiology

This course distills the clinical evidence on perimenopause and menopause into a systematic, five-system framework for assessment and treatment.

Rather than focusing on isolated symptoms, you’ll learn to recognize the neuroendocrine transition as a unified event that simultaneously affects cardiovascular, neurocognitive, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, and metabolic tissues.

Key learnings:
  • How to distinguish menopausal changes from disease states
  • Why bioidentical hormone formulations differ from WHI-era compounds
  • When early intervention prevents irreversible tissue decline, and
  • Which multi-system protocols produce measurable outcomes.

Leslie Fuller, ND and Jillian Moehle, ND synthesize endocrinology, evidence-based medicine, and functional assessment into clinical sequences you can implement immediately.

Fragmented Care Creates a Multi-Decade Treatment Gap

Most practitioners assess menopausal women system by system, sending them to cardiology for arrhythmias, psychiatry for mood
changes, and urogynecology for atrophy. They never connect these presentations to a single hormonal transition.

This fragmentation delays recognition of the unified event and prevents early intervention during the critical window when outcomes are most
modifiable.


Women experience unnecessary specialist referrals, trial-and-error medication protocols, and the normalization of decline they’re told is inevitable aging.

The cost?
  • Missed prevention of cardiovascular disease
  • Cognitive decline
  • Bone loss
  • Musculoskeletal fragility, and more.
​​​​​​​
Without integrative assessment, you’re treating symptoms in isolation while the underlying transition progresses unchecked. 

Did You Know...

The average WHI participant was 63 years old and NOT perimenopausal, making the findings irrelevant to your 45-year-old patients.
Low-dose vaginal estrogen had its black box warning removed in November 2025 based on evidence showing zero increased cancer risk.
Women experience 10-15% LDL elevation in perimenopause independent of diet, requiring deeper risk assessment.
Visceral fat accelerates 1-2 years before the final menstrual period, creating an intervention window before it becomes metabolic disease.
Neurocognitive changes affect up to 70% of perimenopausal women but are misdiagnosed as aging, ADHD, or depression.
Musculoskeletal syndromes appear simultaneously during menopause, yet practitioners typically address each tissue type separately.

Five Modules That Connect Scattered Perimenopause Presentations to Integrated Physiology

Why do your smartest, most health-conscious patients suddenly develop brain fog, lose muscle despite exercise, gain visceral fat without
weight gain, and experience injuries that won’t heal?


This Master Class answers this question by distilling how the loss of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone leads to predictable, multisystem physiological changes.

You’ll learn the core concept of menopause as a neuroendocrine transition rather than a disease state.

Core concepts include:
  • Recognizing symptom clusters as diagnostic evidence
  • Understanding why bioidentical formulations differ from older research
  • Assessing all five affected systems in sequence
  • Identifying the critical intervention window, and
  • Implementing layered protocols that address multiple pathways simultaneously.

Fuller and Moehle, both licensed naturopathic doctors with deep clinical experience, ground each module in current evidence and practical
workflows you can start using immediately.  
COURSE FEATURES

Learn the Five-System Assessment Protocol

Practical decision-making, not academic theory.

1

Recognize Symptom Clusters as Diagnostic Evidence

Stop treating arrhythmias, brain fog, and vaginal dryness as three separate problems and start recognizing them as a unified neuroendocrine transition.

2

Distinguish WHI Misapplication From Current Evidence

Understand why 2002 data on conjugated equine estrogen doesn’t apply to today’s bioidentical formulations, clearing the way for better treatment.

3

Identify the Critical Intervention Window

Learn when early assessment and intervention prevent progression to disease versus when you’re treating established decline.

4

Build Practical Lab Assessment Sequences

Order the right tests in the right order to identify sleep disorders, thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, and nutrient deficiencies that amplify menopausal symptoms.

5

Construct Layered Multi-System Protocols

Move beyond single-pathway thinking to design hormone, nutritional, lifestyle, and referral sequences that address mechanisms rather than just chase symptom relief.

6

Screen Systematically Across Five Organ Systems

Develop repeatable assessment templates for cardiovascular, neurocognitive, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, and metabolic domains.

Leslie Fuller, ND and Jillian Moehle, ND

Leslie Fuller, ND is a residency-trained naturopathic physician and full-time Professor at the University of Western States, where she teaches clinical neurology, nutrition, and laboratory assessment. With over two decades of experience in neurology and disability care, her work bridges evidence-based medicine with integrative strategies to support recovery, resilience, and cognitive health.

Clinically, Dr. Fuller specializes in neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and spinal cord injury, as well as the hormonal transitions of perimenopause and menopause and their impact on the brain and body. She combines nutrition, botanical medicine, and lifestyle approaches to help patients and clinicians alike better understand and optimize neurologic and hormonal function.

Jillian Moehle, ND is a Naturopathic and Functional Medicine Physician based in Portland, Oregon, where she provides integrative primary care with a focus on perimenopause, menopause, and cardiometabolic health. Certified by the Institute for Functional Medicine and an active member of the North American Menopause Society, she combines root-cause investigation, lifestyle medicine, and evidence-based hormone therapy to support optimal health in midlife and beyond.

Dr. Moehle also speaks and teaches on functional approaches to women’s health and hormone replacement therapy for clinicians nationwide.
