If you're a woman over 40, it's highly likely that you're in your menopause years.
Not happy with that? Disbelieving?
Here's the bald truth - menopause is a natural, unavoidable journey that every woman alive must make - and the transition can take 10 or more years from start to finish! You can choose to accept menopause reluctantly, or you can decide to find the joy and the lessons this honorable life passage has for you. At its most basic, menopause is an emotional and a physical transition from one stage of life to the next. And I know you'll agree that change is always best when handled with grace, rather than denial or resistance.
If you have to ask 'Is this menopause?' about symptoms such as skipped periods, unusual weight gain, unexplained exhaustion, sleep issues and more.Then yes, the answer is: it is!
Many women go through menopause without any trouble. But if you're one of the ones who finds menopause is interfering with your quality of life, take immediate action and prevent bigger problems down the line. Face what's happening to your body and don't wait until you have a humongous problem to solve. Remember, in menopause as in life: "pain is inevitable; suffering is optional!"
Begin with the end in mind by deciding what you want. Then be consistent with the remedies or actions you've decided to take. You're wasting your time and money, and contributing to your own misery, if you stop and start treatment that makes sense for you.
Many natural remedies require several weeks or months before you really know if they're helping you or not. Make a commitment to give the remedies time to work. You didn't develop your menopause challenge in a month or two, so give it a few months to turn around. Quite a different approach from hormone therapy which deals with symptoms only, can be required for years and result in serious side-effects.
It's important for you to take 100% responsibility for your own health and wellness and make choices that are right for you. Make sure your menopause remedies or lifestyle choices make your life easier or at least fit into your life without too much effort so you'll stay motivated to continue them.
If you don't know which natural remedies to try, start slowly with something will contribute towards your greater health and wellness - usually your digestive system. Digestive enzymes, cleansing, whey protein shakes all contribute towards digestive wellness.
Addressing digestive issues first is the strategy herbalists call 'circling the dragon' because you're treating the 'big picture' - your overall health and wellness - before you attack a specific complaint. The bonus is you just might resolve several health challenges simultaneously and a more targeted approach may not be necessary.
Whatever else you decide to do to improve your menopause transition, I highly recommend that you eat more foods that will help you manage your blood sugar, immune system and weight. These include whey protein shakes, garlic, dried sea vegetables, maitake and shiitake mushrooms, raw fruit, green vegetables and fresh vegetable juices.
If you have troublesome menopause symptoms it's always a good idea to improve your diet and make it a habit to do a regular nutritional cleanse to get rid of toxins hidden in body fat and organs.
You may decide to take whole food supplements, herbs or homeopathy known to help women make an easier menopause transition.
You may decide to choose a homeopathic remedy such as Sepia that is known to help many women resolve their pre-menopausal symptoms including mood swings.
You could choose herbal menopause foods such as maca root, pycnogenol or herbal tea made with herbs used for hundreds of years to relieve troublesome menopause symptoms.
Remember, the best menopause symptom treatment is prevention. Decide on a course of action while your menopause signs and symptoms are relatively mild. If you wait too long to take charge of your health and wellness, you may find yourself in a crisis, forced to choose medical intervention that you don't want, in order to find symptomatic relief.
