Question 1

Does Aure Health treat perimenopause and menopause?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Perimenopause and menopause care is part of Aure Health's whole-body model, led by Dr. Sara Hammond, D.O., a board-certified diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine. Care is available by telehealth in all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and Guam, and in person at the Alpharetta, Georgia clinic.

Question 2

Why am I gaining weight during menopause?

Accepted Answer

The hormonal shift of perimenopause and menopause changes where the body stores fat, how it handles insulin, how well you sleep, and how much muscle you hold — so the same diet and exercise routine stops producing the same result. It is a physiologic change, not a discipline problem. Evaluation looks at hormones alongside insulin resistance, thyroid function, sleep, muscle mass, and stress rather than at weight alone.

Question 3

My labs are normal but I feel terrible. What now?

Accepted Answer

A standard panel is a narrow window. Aure Health reviews a broader biomarker set, body composition, sleep, and symptom patterns over time, and treats the pattern in front of you rather than dismissing symptoms because a single panel fell inside a reference range.

Question 4

Could my brain fog and fatigue be perimenopause — or something else?

Accepted Answer

Both are worth evaluating. Brain fog, fatigue, disrupted sleep, and difficulty focusing can come from perimenopause, thyroid disease, iron or B12 deficiency, sleep apnea, insulin resistance, undiagnosed adult ADHD, or several of these at once. They are assessed together in one visit rather than across four referrals.

Question 5

Can weight management and menopause care happen together?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and they generally should. Aure Health provides medical weight management and obesity medicine, including physician-supervised GLP-1 therapy when clinically appropriate, in the same plan as menopause care — with body composition monitoring so weight loss protects muscle rather than costing it.

Question 6

Is ADHD care available too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many women notice attention and memory worsen in perimenopause, and some are diagnosed with ADHD for the first time in their forties. Aure Health provides adult ADHD evaluation and treatment, including non-stimulant options, in the same practice.

Question 7

What does this cost and do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

Aure Membership is $489/month ($5,868 annually) and includes most labs. Without membership, an initial baseline visit is $399 and follow-ups are $225. Aure Health is direct-pay and does not bill insurance; membership is HSA/FSA eligible and a superbill is available on request.
