Did You Know?
"1.3 million women go through menopause each year in the US. 6,000 women go through menopause daily in the US. There are approximately 75 million women who are either in perimenopause/ menopause/ postmenopause in the US right now, it is estimated that 2-4% of those women are using hormone therapy.
We were made to fear our hormones and we have been misled about what our hormones do for us, how they are protective, not harmful. I hope to dispel some of the fear and stigma about menopause and hormone therapy for you."- Kelley
Defining Perimenopause and Menopause.
Perimenopause is the transitional phase 2-15 years prior to menopause, marked by fluctuating hormones, a significant drop in progesterone, changes in mood, increased anxiety and/or depression, weight gain, irritability, trouble sleeping, changes to urinary frequency and urgency, loss of libido, and hot flashes (to name a few). There are over 80+ symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.

About Kelley DeFilippis.
CRNP, MSN, NP-C, Menopause Specialist
CEO of ANOVUL
Kelley DeFilippis is a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years of experience in healthcare, specializing in perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause care.
Kelley earned her Master’s degree in Nursing from Wheeling Jesuit University and has completed advanced training through The Menopause Society.
Over the past five years, she has immersed herself in menopause research and evidence-based hormone therapy, and for the last several years has focused her clinical practice exclusively on caring for women in midlife. She has treated thousands of women experiencing the physical, emotional, and cognitive changes associated with hormonal transitions.
Like many clinicians, Kelley’s path to specialization was deeply personal. Despite years of formal medical training, she found that perimenopause and menopause were barely addressed in traditional education.
It was through her own experience with symptoms—and the realization that countless women were being dismissed, misinformed, or left untreated—that she committed herself to becoming a trusted expert and advocate in this space.
At Anovul, Kelley provides individualized, evidence-based care using FDA-approved hormone therapy when appropriate, alongside comprehensive education and prevention-focused strategies. Her work centers not only on symptom relief—such as hot flashes, sleep disruption, mood changes, brain fog, and weight changes—but also on long-term health, including cardiovascular disease prevention, bone health, metabolic health, and cognitive longevity.
What truly distinguishes Kelley’s approach is her belief that women deserve to be heard, validated, and empowered. She takes the time to listen, educate, and partner with her patients, ensuring they fully understand what is happening in their bodies and the options available to them. Her care is compassionate, thorough, and rooted in science—not trends or fear-based messaging.
Through Anovul, Kelley is changing the narrative around perimenopause and menopause. Her mission is to bridge the gap between research and real-life care, helping women move through midlife with clarity, confidence, and vitality. She believes menopause is not the end of health or identity—but the beginning of a powerful new chapter when women are properly informed and supported.
I had been having issues with just not feeling myself. Terrible hip pain, trouble sleeping, itchy skin, dry eyes, migraines, mood changes, fatigue. I went to my PCP who told me I was depressed and put me on an antidepressant, that did not help. I went to an orthopedic for my hip pain, xray negative, told me there was nothing wrong with my hip. I went to my eye doctor for my dry eyes, gave me eye drops that did not help.
It was not until I saw Kelley that it all made sense. I was 49 years old, still having regular periods, and was in perimenopause. No one else put all of my symptoms together and treated them like they were coming from the same source. Every other doctor was treating me in pieces. Kelley was the first one to listen to me and put it all together. She spent time with me, she could empathize with how I was feeling because she had been there too.
She started me on hormone replacement therapy, and within 2 weeks, I felt different, not totally better, but better than I had felt in 4-5 years. She increased my dose at my follow up, and now all of my symptoms are gone. I feel like myself again. I have energy, want to do things, I’m sleeping better than I have in years.
If anyone in the Pittsburgh area needs help I highly recommend her. - anonymous on HotPause Health

Bloated, irritable, no energy, poor cravings, depression, weight gain... perimenopause is no joke!!! PROPER HRT changed all of this for me in a short time. I feel like me again, not just a fake smile, eating clean and working out again. I highly recommend if you feel like this at all to consult with Kelley DeFilippis, she will help you feel whole again.

About Jessica Hammond.
ORT/L, Pelvic Floor Therapist.
Jessica Hammond is collaborating with Kelley DeFilippis, CRNP with ANOVUL: Your Perimenopause and Menopause Connection, to empower women with education and practical strategies to support their pelvic health and well-being.
Jessica Hammond, OTR/L began her journey into Occupational Therapy with a pre-med/biology background and a life-changing car accident that introduced her to the field during a college break. She went on to earn her Occupational Therapy degree from Keuka College in 2003 and gained experience across multiple healthcare settings, including hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. After relocating to Pittsburgh, she joined a local hospital system, where she worked in acute care and inpatient rehabilitation.
Becoming a mother in 2014 revealed significant gaps in postpartum care and sparked Jessica’s passion for improving support for new mothers. In 2019, she proposed integrating Occupational Therapy into acute postpartum care within the hospital setting. This initiative led her to pursue advanced training in Pelvic Health and transition into an outpatient Pelvic Health Occupational Therapist role, where she now provides comprehensive pelvic health services to individuals of all genders and ages.
Jessica’s dedication to advancing the role of Occupational Therapy in women’s health led her to co-present at the 2024 American Occupational Therapy Association conference on “Equitable Access to OT in the Hospital after Birth.”
In 2025, she founded South Hills Pelvic Health, LLC, a private pelvic health practice that expands access to care through mobile and virtual services for the local community. She is now collaborating with Kelley DeFilippis, CRNP and Meghan McKee to empower women with education and practical strategies to support pelvic health during perimenopause and menopause.
Jessica’s work reflects a commitment to innovation, advocacy, and improving healthcare outcomes through accessible, comprehensive pelvic health services.
