The Elora C.O.R.E. Approach
At Elora Mind & Body, our care is built around four foundational pillars that address the underlying drivers of imbalance rather than chasing symptoms. This structured, systems-based approach allows us to personalize care while maintaining medical integrity and long-term results.
What is C.O.R.E?
-
Calibrate Metabolism
Supporting metabolic health by addressing insulin resistance, inflammation, weight regulation, and cardiometabolic risk through individualized medical care and evidence-based strategies.
​
-
Optimize Hormones
Evaluating and optimizing reproductive, thyroid, adrenal, and metabolic hormones to improve energy, mood, sleep, and overall well-being.
​
-
Restore Digestion
Identifying and correcting gut imbalances that affect digestion, immune function, hormone metabolism, and mental health.
​
-
Elevate Lifestyle
Building sustainable habits around sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, and mindset to support long-term health and resilience.

Understanding Perimenopause and Menopause
​Some women breeze right through menopause, while others unfortunately struggle tremendously.
​
Perimenopause:
​
The transitional phase before menopause. Perimenopause may begin as early as your mid-30’s or as late as your mid-50’s. This can last up to a few months, or for some people, several years.
​
Your menstrual cycles often become unpredictable at this stage. Often women experience weight gain, anxiety, joint pain, low sex drive, fatigue, brain fog, thinning of the hair and skin, and many other worrisome symptoms.
​
Perimenopause and menopause are natural life transitions but that doesn’t mean they have to be intolerable.
