This study evaluates the effects of Primal Harvest's Primal Meno+ supplement on symptoms of menopause and overall well-being in females aged 40-60 who are currently menopausal and experiencing at least two menopausal symptoms. Over a 12-week period, 40 participants will take one capsule of the test product daily with their first meal of the day. Participants will complete self-reported questionnaires at Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12 to assess menopausal symptoms (including hot flashes, night sweats, sleep quality, stress resilience, and emotional well-being) and overall health and well-being. This is a single-arm, open-label, virtual trial with no randomization or blinding.

Given the impact that hot flashes and night sweats can have on daily life during the menopausal transition, our team has developed a therapist-guided online cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)- based program to help individuals manage these symptoms. An online program may help address systemic barriers to in-person care, such as cost, time, travel, and caregiving needs. The broad aim of this pilot clinical trial is to examine the experience of a four-week therapist-guided online CBT-based program for menopause-related hot flashes and night sweats. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of the four-week online program, including how participants experience the program and how well they are able to complete it at home. The secondary objective is to explore whether the program may help with hot flashes and night sweats, and related concerns such as sleep, mood, anxiety, and quality of life. Exploratory analyses will examine whether changes in these outcomes are maintained three months after completing the program. Researchers will compare participants who receive the program immediately with participants who wait four weeks before receiving it. Participants will: * Complete online questionnaires about their symptoms and well-being. * Complete four weekly online lessons and activities. * Meet briefly with a guide each week for guidance and support. * Complete follow-up questionnaires after the program and three months later.

The goal of this study is to obtain pilot data investigating the effects of sleep apnea on mitochondrial function and cellular metabolism in Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) patients.

This 12-week randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of a daily oral supplement containing Ashoka Bark and Shatavari in women experiencing menopausal symptoms. Up to 50 participants will be randomized to receive either the active supplement or placebo, with 40 participants expected to complete the study. Participants will attend visits at Weeks 0, 6, and 12, where hormone levels (FSH and estradiol), menopausal symptoms, quality of life, anxiety, cognitive function, and sleep will be assessed using validated measures. The study will also explore changes in the vaginal microbiome and monitor safety and adherence throughout the trial. The study will be conducted at MusB Research in New Port Richey, Florida.

This study investigates the influence of sex hormones and exercise on age-related neuromuscular decline in females. Specifically, the research aims to evaluate how hormonal variations impact both age-associated neuromuscular decline and the subsequent adaptations to exercise and resistance training. Age-related declines in neuromuscular function are especially pronounced in females, potentially due to the sharp drop in estradiol after menopause. This project will compare postmenopausal females who have not taken hormonal therapy (HT) to age-matched females taking HT.

This study will evaluate whether an 8-week course of a standardized herbal extract containing Shatavari and natural bio-enhancer ingredients can reduce menopausal symptoms in post-menopausal women. The study will compare the herbal extract with a matching placebo. Approximately 100 women aged 45 to 60 years with menopausal symptoms will be enrolled, with approximately 80 expected to complete the study. Participants will take one study product daily for 8 weeks. Menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, mood, sleep, skin health, and hair and scalp health, will be assessed using questionnaires, a daily hot flash diary, blood tests, and safety assessments.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about how estradiol patch treatment affects brain processes, health, and wellbeing.

The two products used in this study are transdermal patches that contain selegiline. The test drug is the Estradiol/Levonorgestrel Transdermal Delivery System (TDS). The comparator drug is the Climara Pro® TDS. The purpose of this research study is to compare how the skin tolerates the test TDS and the comparator TDS. The study will evaluate and compare skin irritation and possible allergic-type skin reactions (sensitization) caused by the two products. The comparison will be based on how the skin responds to repeated applications of each TDS. This includes the assessment of skin irritation during the Induction Period and the evaluation of possible allergic or sensitization reactions after the Challenge Period. In addition, the adhesion of each patch (how well the patch sticks to the skin over time) will be regularly checked, as this is important for both product performance and skin safety.

The study will examine the impact of adding two servings per day of skimmed or whole milk Greek yogurt on integrated muscle protein synthesis (iMPS), blood sugar control, and cognition in post-menopausal women with overweight and obesity.

To determine if vascular beta3 adrenergic receptors are present and functional in aging women and can be targeted to attenuate sympathetic vasoconstriction and enhance vascular function in aging women.

This study is investigating how two types of non-invasive brain stimulation, transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), affect brain activity, and whether combining them produces stronger or more consistent effects than either one used alone. The motivation for this comes from the observation that TMS, which is FDA-approved for treating depression, tends to work less well in postmenopausal women because lower estrogen levels reduce the brain's ability to respond to stimulation. The research team believes that pairing TMS with TES, which targets a different set of brain cells, may be able to overcome this hormonal barrier and make stimulation more effective. Participants will come into the lab for up to 24 visits over 8 months, beginning with an initial visit to establish the right stimulation settings, followed by a series of stimulation sessions in which brain activity is measured before and after receiving either TES, TMS, or both together. For female participants, sessions will be scheduled at specific points in the menstrual cycle to capture the natural monthly rise and fall of estrogen, while male participants will be scheduled on a comparable fixed interval as a comparison group. The insights gained from this study could directly inform the development of better, more reliable brain stimulation treatments for women with depression.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, tolerability, and clinical efficacy of MenoZen VR (virtual reality) for managing menopause symptoms in women.
