Dana Scharfenberg, MN, FNP-BC, OCN

Dana Scarfenberg, MN, FNP‑BC, OCN, is a board‑certified family nurse practitioner who guides patients through hormone-centered care to restore vitality and prevent the cellular decline that underlies many symptoms and long‑term risks. Her approach emphasizes a clear patient journey: assessment, personalized treatment, and convenient follow‑up.

For women, Dana manages PCOS, perimenopause, and menopause with individualized hormone strategies. She treats menopause as a transition to be lived fully—not endured—and considers testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone replacement when appropriate, including testosterone for women when indicated. For men, she provides testosterone replacement therapy with careful estrogen balance and evaluates progesterone’s potential role; she prefers treating men as part of a couple whenever possible to support shared goals and relationship health.

Sexual health is addressed pragmatically—vaginal dryness, pain, low libido, HSDD, erectile dysfunction …and related concerns—through hormones, behavioral strategies, supplements, and medications. Dana’s guiding belief: with personalized, evidence‑informed care, patients can reclaim vitality, intimacy, and longevity at every stage.

Weight and metabolic care recognize that changes around perimenopause are multifactorial. PrimeLife offers body‑composition monitoring, lifestyle coaching, and medical options including GLP‑1 receptor agonists (semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide) where clinically appropriate, using national compounding pharmacies as needed.
