Menopause and Beyond: Navigating Hormonal Changes with Functional Medicine

Menopause is a natural stage in every woman’s life, but it doesn’t have to be a period of discomfort. Perimenopause and menopause come with hormonal changes that can bring symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, and emotional shifts. Fortunately, functional medicine offers a holistic approach to managing these changes, allowing women to navigate this stage of life with more ease and vitality.

Understanding the Menopausal Transition:

During menopause, your body experiences a decrease in estrogen and progesterone levels, which can cause a host of physical and emotional symptoms. At the same time, other hormones like cortisol and thyroid hormones may become imbalanced, making it harder to maintain healthy weight, mood, and energy levels.

Functional Medicine for Menopause:

Functional medicine treats the whole person, considering not just hormone levels but also lifestyle factors such as diet, stress, and exercise. By combining hormone replacement therapy with these lifestyle adjustments, functional medicine provides a comprehensive solution for managing menopause and perimenopause.

The Benefits of Hormone Therapy for Women:

• Alleviate Hot Flashes: Hormone therapy can reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes.

• Manage Mood Swings: Hormone therapy helps stabilize mood and reduce anxiety or irritability.

• Improve Sleep: Hormonal support can regulate sleep patterns, helping women get a full night’s rest.
