Here are online programs and telehealth services known to treat perimenopause/menopause and also manage thyroid problems (short notes on why each may fit your needs). Before enrolling, confirm the program treats both conditions in your state and ask about lab testing, prescribing authority, and follow‑up.

-

What to ask any program before signing up
- Do you prescribe bioidentical hormones (estradiol/progesterone) and do you compounding or use standard pharmacy formulations?
- Will you evaluate and manage thyroid disorders (hypo/hyper/autoimmune) directly, or only screen and refer?
- Which labs are included, how often are they repeated, and who interprets them?
- Are your prescribers MD/DO, and are they licensed in my state?
- Cost, insurance coverage, and follow‑up/monitoring schedule.
If you want, tell me your state and whether you prefer a functional‑medicine or conventional endocrinology approach and I’ll narrow these to the best fit.
