About this clinic
Meno-Start, a functional-medicine clinic in McLean, Virginia, specializes in hormone replacement therapy and nutritional support for women navigating menopause. Led by Shannon Cothran, MD, FACOG, MSCP, the practice offers individualized hormone optimization alongside comprehensive nutritional assessment and counseling. Treatment plans are personalized following an initial consultation and adjusted over time as patients' needs evolve. The clinic positions menopause not as a condition requiring symptom management alone but as a life stage warranting proactive physiologic support. Aesthetic services are available alongside the core hormone and nutrition offerings.
Dr. Cothran is a fantastic listener and healthcare provider. Dr. Cothran provided me with insight and advice into my meno symptoms that I never considered before. Thanks to Dr. Cothran I now have the tools that I need to help me through my meno journey.

Dr. Shannon Cochrane is an excellent (and award winning) doctor. She is very approachable and supportive. Coach Dulany is also wonderful to work with and encouraging about attaining your fitness and weight loss goals. I actually enjoy going to Meno-Start so as to work with this team. I recommend it highly.

Dr. Cothran has been my ob/gyn through both of my high risk pregnancies and it was great to reconnect with her while tackling the perimenopause journey. With her knowledge, empathy, and patience to hear about all symptoms, I have a better understanding of navigating the ups and downs of this phase. Its always a pleasure to catch-up with her from a medical and personal standpoint.
