The Juniper Steady State Program
A brief for whoever she is talking this over with.
She is deciding whether to spend $3,600 on twelve weeks of care. This page exists so she does not have to reconstruct the whole argument from memory at the end of a long day — and so the person she is asking can see exactly what is being bought, and what is not being promised.
What this is
A 12-week, physician-led program at Juniper Women's Integrative Health for women 38 to 58 in perimenopause. It is led by Dr. Maya Bennett, a board-certified family medicine physician with advanced training in functional medicine, women's hormonal health and metabolic health.
Why this and not another attempt
Her energy, sleep, focus and weight symptoms have each been treated separately, by different people, over about three years. Each attempt held for roughly three weeks and then returned to baseline.
The argument of this program is that the tactics were not the problem — the order was never established. In perimenopause the order of intervention is the clinical decision, not a detail of it. Asking sleep to improve while energy across the day is still unstable is asking for something the body cannot currently deliver.
What actually happens, by phase
Weeks 1–2
Map
A full history, symptom timeline, medication and supplement review, sleep and stress patterns, nutrition, movement, and her existing lab results, read together — plus additional standard testing when clinically appropriate. Output: a written Pattern Read naming her pattern and the order it will be addressed in.
Weeks 3–5
Stabilize
Meal rhythm, protein, sleep, stress and recovery as actual daily instructions, with an explicit list of what is deliberately not being worked on yet.
Weeks 6–9
Personalize
The plan adjusted against how she specifically responded and what the findings showed.
Weeks 10–12
Sustain
A maintenance plan, her personal early-warning signals, and a written follow-up strategy she keeps.
Who she works with
Dr. Bennett personally leads the clinical evaluation and the planning decisions, and reviews her response at weeks 3, 6, 9 and 12. A nurse practitioner carries follow-up care between those points. A health coach handles implementation inside a real working week. A care coordinator handles scheduling, records and logistics, so she is not the project manager of her own care.
What it costs
$3,600, or three monthly installments of $1,250. Three installments total $3,750. It is not covered by insurance.
What is guaranteed
The written Pattern Read, delivered on schedule, specifying a sequence and her named first targets.
Written milestones for weeks 3, 6, 9 and 12, stating what is being watched and what is not expected yet.
Physician review at each of those milestones.
If the Pattern Read is not delivered on schedule, or does not specify a sequence and her first targets, physician review sessions continue at no additional charge until it does.
What is explicitly not promised
No specific clinical outcome.
No guaranteed weight change, sleep change or energy change.
No promise about how she will feel by a particular week.
Individual experiences vary. Nobody can responsibly guarantee a clinical result, and this program does not.
What the assessment already ruled in or out
Completed per patient after the Fit Assessment: what was ruled in, what was ruled out, and anything routed elsewhere.
The reasonable question to ask her
Not "will this work." Ask her what she will have in writing at the end of week two that she does not have now. That is the part that is actually being bought.
