Dr. Kristi Tough DeSapri, founder of Bone & Body Women’s Health in Winnetka, is a nationally recognized expert in perimenopause, menopause, and osteoporosis. Bringing more than 15 years of experience, she offers a compassionate, evidence-based approach to midlife women’s care. Her mission is to educate, prevent, and tailor therapies to meet each woman’s unique needs. She strives to provide solutions that empower them through perimenopause and menopause with confidence and strength. “Celebrity and media attention has galvanized women to pay attention to menopause with few doctors specializing in women’s health in the post-reproductive years,” she says. “As a physician, nationally certified menopause specialist, and perimenopausal woman, I cut through the noise by sharing information, and evidence-based solutions that make differences in women’s quality of life.” Committed to helping women thrive in their careers, families, and communities, she encourages her patients to prioritize their health during this life transition. Her comprehensive, membership-based program also offers cutting-edge diagnostic tools, like a Hologic DXA scanner for bone mineral density, to develop effective prevention and treatment strategies for osteoporosis. Dr. DeSapri is passionate about helping women age with grace and maintain vitality.
