Monroe Optimal Health

Maribel E. Monroe, M.D. is a Board Certified Obstetric and Gynecologist, who has incorporated the principals of Anti- Aging Medicine into her practice dedicated to women’s well being.

Dr. Maribel Monroe completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. Before her residency she worked at the Neuroendocrine Laboratory at the National Institute of Health in Washington D.C., doing
research on the relationship between obesity, stress and hormones.

Dr. Monroe has been practicing gynecological surgery for more than 15 years in Las Vegas, NV. Seven years ago, she was introduced to bioidentical hormones. This was at the time when new research pointed out about the dangers of synthetic hormones.

Nowadays women are subjected to an inordinate amount of stress throughout all stages of their lives. Societal pressures during puberty, all the way through the financially difficult child bearing years, a difficult and stressful perimenopausal and postmenopausal period later in life with the process of aging. Family, financial pressures and relationship issues make it even more difficult to maintain a healthy mind and body.

Dr. Monroe has learned the incredible benefits in the appropriate use of bioidentical hormones and natural supplements. She finds that almost all of her patients are able to stop using multiple medications and are able to lose weight, sleep better, and recover their sexual drive and a state of well being geared towards regaining healthy relationships.

Proper evaluation starts by dedicating time to listen and understand each patient’s story. Dr. Monroe believes that laboratory and medical testing can only provide a unidimesional picture of the patient. In order to understand women’s feelings, concerns and symptoms, the doctors need to dedicate time and be able to understand the patient’s problems. The main goal is to reach the optimal healthy state through hormones, healthy eating habits and exercise.
