As a naturopathic doctor with a practice focusing on women’s health, I find myself answering a lot of questions from patients who are trying to find ways to deal with perimenopause (the 5 to 10 years before ending periods) and menopause.
I’m happy to help! Especially when I hear women say they’re having a bad experience and really feeling their life is disrupted.
I’ve already written in the past about brain fog, hormones, all issues that crop up around this time.
Another is hot flashes and night sweats. Ugh.
Thought to be related to fluctuations in hormones such as estrogen, there are many ways to treat this unpleasant symptom.
I can prescribe food sources and herbs that help balance the estrogen, and vitamins or hormones to help with more significant fluctuations. I also often recommend dietary changes and we look at your stress levels too. I also prescribe menopausal hormone therapy (bio-identical hormones).
When women are suffering and there’s a way to help, I’m happy to work with them to ease these symptoms. Why suffer unnecessarily?
Are you trying to ignore hot flashes? Don’t – call me instead. Feel like yourself again.
