Restore Clarity and Focus During Midlife Hormonal Changes.
Get My Guide: The Physician’s Guide to the Midlife Brain.
Perimenopause and menopause symptoms are driven by biological transitions. That means they’re treatable.
Hormonal and metabolic changes influence sleep, cognitive function, stress tolerance, and body composition simultaneously. When each symptom is addressed separately, stability is difficult to restore. But comprehensive endocrine care evaluates the whole system, so treatment is precise and effective.
I Know Menopause CAN BE ROUGH, But...
No, Perimenopause and Menopause Don't Have to Derail Your Personal and Professional Success.
It’s hard enough being a woman. Periods, child-rearing, aging parents and pull between work and family demand a lot of us. Then perimenopause and menopause can add disrupted sleep, brain fog, mood changes, and a body that suddenly feels foreign. Those changes are real, BUT they do not have to keep you down.
No, they don't. I’m here to guide you through the menopause transition and beyond so you can restore optimal health, strengthen your cognitive performance, regain your energy, and THRIVE in the life you have worked so hard to build.
This is what’s possible with personalized specialist care designed for you & your body.

I’m Hanah Polotsky, MD, MBOE.
Board-certified endocrinologist, physician executive, author, and mother of five.
For more than two decades, I’ve treated the hormonal and metabolic shifts that shape midlife. I have also lived this transition myself, while building a medical practice and raising a family.
Perimenopause and menopause can alter sleep, clarity, mood, and stamina. I understand the physiology driving these changes, and I also understand how deeply they can affect your ability to lead the life you worked so hard to build.

“I came to Dr. Polotsky feeling stretched thin. I have five kids, demanding leadership roles, and my health just felt like it was slipping. My weight was climbing, my numbers weren’t great, and menopause was making everything harder. She helped me understand what was actually going on in a way that made sense and built changes I could realistically follow. I feel steadier, more energized, and back in control of my health."
