Hot flashes. Mood swings. Brain fog. Sound familiar? If so, you are currently experiencing the full power of menopause. Menopause is notorious for making women feel miserable as their hormones fluctuate, but you don’t need to surrender to your menopause symptoms. These tips will help you live an active and fulfilling life even through menopause.
What Is Menopause?
Menopause usually begins around age 52, after a woman has stopped menstruating for at least one year. However, perimenopause, the precursor to menopause, can begin years earlier. Levels of estrogen and progesterone fluctuate during menopause because production is naturally declining but the ovaries are attempting, without any luck, to restore normal hormone levels. If you’re ready to escape your own menopause symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep problems, the following tips can help you overcome them.
Control Symptoms With Daily Exercise
Exercise is one of the most powerful natural methods to overcome menopause symptoms. Walking, yoga, and other forms of regular physical activity can help to boost your energy levels, release endorphins, and release stress from your mind and body.
Control Symptoms With Herbs and Supplements
Many supplements and herbs are available to improve hormone production and relieve the symptoms specifically caused by menopause. St. John’s Wort, ginkgo biloba, black cohosh, and red clover are all popular options. Just be sure to consult with a wellness professional before beginning a new regimen.
Control Symptoms With Hormone Replacement Therapy
BioTE® Hormone Pellet Therapy uses very small, solid cylinders called pellets to deliver bio-identical hormones into your body. Each pellet contains a concentrated amount of the hormone needed to achieve balance. It is easily inserted under the skin to deliver consistent levels of hormones into the body for up to six months.
Since pellets prevent the hormone fluctuations associated with other hormone replacement treatments, they can deliver more consistent and reliable results. You may notice that you have more energy, feel happier, and sleep better. Many patients also enjoy improved physical, mental, and sexual health with benefits like enhanced concentration, healthier skin tone, and more youthful libido.
