Perimenopause Support for Women 35–55
Root-Cause Functional Medicine  

If you feel exhausted, anxious, gaining weight, foggy, or simply not like yourself — even though your labs are “normal” — you’re not imagining it.

Your body is changing.  And you deserve real answers.

This stage of life can feel confusing and lonely.  It doesn’t have to be.

Why Perimenopause Is Often Missed

Perimenopause can begin as early as your mid-30s and last up to 10 years. Hormone fluctuations during this stage often go undetected on standard lab work, leaving many women dismissed or misdiagnosed.

My approach uses advanced functional testing and root-cause analysis to uncover what your body is actually asking for — so we can restore balance naturally, not just manage symptoms.

• Advanced functional blood chemistry analysis
• Personalized hormone support protocols
• Root-cause investigation beyond standard labs

Prenatal & Pediatric Chiropractic in Traverse City

Connected pregnancies. Confident births. Thriving babies.

For over 20 years, I’ve supported Traverse City families through pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood with specialized, gentle chiropractic care. This side of the practice is devoted to creating balance in the body so you can move through pregnancy with greater comfort, stability, and confidence.

When the pelvis and nervous system are aligned, your body functions the way it was designed to — supporting a smoother pregnancy, a more efficient birth, and an easier transition for your baby.

Through focused chiropractic care and thoughtful whole-food supplementation, we help create the conditions for a healthier pregnancy and a grounded beginning for your child.


Meet Dr. Jena

I know how unsettling it can feel when your body begins to change and no one can clearly explain why.

For many women, perimenopause begins quietly — disrupted sleep, mood shifts, weight that won’t budge, a sense of feeling “off.” Too often, they’re told everything looks normal.

This is where I come in.

I specialize in root-cause functional medicine for women navigating perimenopause. I look beyond standard lab ranges, beyond symptom suppression, and beyond one-size-fits-all solutions. My work is about understanding the whole picture of your hormones, stress, metabolism, and life — and helping you feel steady in your body again.

For over 20 years, I have also served families here in Traverse City through prenatal and pediatric chiropractic care. Supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood has given me a deep respect for the strength and sensitivity of the female body at every stage.

Whether you are walking through perimenopause or preparing to welcome a baby, my approach is the same: thoughtful, personalized, and rooted in listening first.

You deserve to feel understood here.

What Our Clients are Saying

I did exactly what she told me to do and in five weeks my period went from 7 days of hell to 4 days of basically nothing. AND! my husband said I seem like a completely different person—calmer, nicer, not exhausted all the time. I can't believe how much Dr. Jena's program actually changed my entire life!

~ Jessica R.

Dr. Jena is amazing - I was so skeptical because I've tried everything, but this was different—she explained the WHY behind everything and it all finally made sense. She ordered labs that no other doctor had bothered looking at and there was the missing piece! My anxiety is basically gone, my periods don't destroy me anymore, and I have consistent energy throughout the day instead of crashing at 2pm. I wish I'd found her years ago!

~ Stephanie P.

Dr. Jena is amazing at what she does! She adjusted me throughout my pregnancy and my infant son and I consistently see her for wellness. She truly cares about her patients, and focuses on whole body health.

~ Lauren H

The brain fog lifting was honestly life-changing—I feel sharp again, like I can actually think clearly for the first time in years. My skin cleared up, I'm sleeping through the night, and I lost 9 pounds without even trying! Dr. Jena's program gave me my body back.
