Beth Hrica, PA-C, RD, offers a science-backed, whole-person approach to help women navigate perimenopause with confidence and optimal health.
-- Bridging the Gap in Women's Healthcare
Beth Hrica, a certified Physician Assistant (PA) and Registered Dietitian (RD), is redefining women's health by addressing the overlooked realities of perimenopause. As the founder of The Lifestyle PA, she provides a highly personalized and evidence-based approach to help women over 35 take control of their metabolism, hormonal health, sleep, and overall well-being.
With a board certification in Lifestyle Medicine and background in Critical Care, Sleep Medicine, Aesthetics and Wellness, Hrica saw firsthand how conventional healthcare often fails to address the needs of perimenopausal women. Many experience weight gain, fatigue, mood shifts, and disrupted sleep, only to be told these changes are "just a normal part of aging." Frustrated by this dismissal, she developed a program designed to provide education, prevention, and sustainable lifestyle strategies.
“Perimenopause can begin as early as 35 and last for a decade. Women are often dismissed when they express concerns about weight gain, sleep disruptions, or mood changes. These are not just inevitable signs of aging; they are signals that the body needs a new approach,” says Hrica.
A Science-Backed, Personalized Approach
At The Lifestyle PA, Hrica’s three-month 1:1 Lifestyle Program takes a comprehensive, whole-person approach to women’s health. Unlike traditional 15-minute healthcare visits, her program provides in-depth support focused on six essential health pillars: nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, mindset, and social connection.
Clients receive a 75-page Lifestyle Handbook, bi-weekly Zoom meetings, access to a Food & Activity Journal app, and three months of meal and snack ideas. A secure messaging platform allows for unlimited communication, ensuring continuous guidance and support.
Hrica emphasizes that this is not another restrictive diet plan. There’s no calorie counting or food weighing—just structured, realistic lifestyle adjustments designed for long-term success.
“This is not a diet. There’s no quick fix—just a sustainable, whole-person approach,” explains Hrica.
From Personal Struggle to Professional Mission
Hrica’s journey to founding The Lifestyle PA was deeply personal. While undergoing fertility treatments, she was told she had menopausal hormone levels, despite following a healthy diet and exercise routine.
“I felt like a completely different person—my hair was thinning, I was gaining weight despite my efforts, my sleep was terrible, and my mood was all over the place. It was an eye-opening experience,” Hrica recalls.
This experience exposed the gaps in women’s healthcare, particularly when it comes to perimenopause and midlife hormone shifts. Women are often left to navigate these changes alone, with little support or evidence-based guidance.
“As women, we spend years prioritizing our families, careers, and responsibilities, often neglecting our own health. But investing in our well-being should never be an afterthought,” she says.
What Sets The Lifestyle PA Apart
Hrica’s approach is unique due to her dual expertise as a Physician Assistant and Registered Dietitian, ensuring that all guidance is science-backed and free from gimmicks. Unlike other programs that focus solely on weight loss, The Lifestyle PA addresses the underlying hormonal and metabolic changes that impact women’s health in their late 30s, 40s, and beyond.
She not only interprets lab results and assesses medications and supplements but also tailors each program to a client’s specific needs. The goal is to create long-term, sustainable lifestyle changes rather than short-term fixes.
“I want women to understand that while perimenopause is inevitable, suffering through it is not,” says Hrica.
Helping Women Nationwide—Virtually
The Lifestyle PA is a fully virtual practice, allowing Hrica to work with women across the United States. While insurance is not accepted, clients can use HSA/FSA funds to invest in their health through the program.
For women looking to reclaim their energy, confidence, and well-being, The Lifestyle PA provides structured, supportive, and evidence-based solutions designed for lasting results.
“The key to thriving through hormonal changes is understanding what your body needs now versus in your 20s—and taking action,” says Hrica.
