Your experience of menopause may differ from that of your mother’s, your sister’s or your friend’s—in duration, symptoms, and severity.  For some women, menopause is an easy passage; for others, it can be a disruptive and uncomfortable time.  Short term, you may need help with symptoms.  Long term, you may have concerns about osteoporosis, blood vessel health and Alzheimer’s disease.

 

At Nutritional Weight and Wellness, we believe that if you treat your body with respect, take care of your mind, and nourish your spirit, menopause can open the door to a period of serenity, confidence, stable moods and endless energy. However, many women need education and support to manage the complexity of menopausal symptoms.

 

Our nutritionists and educators help you understand how balanced eating, supplements and natural hormone replacement assist in managing hot flashes, low energy, weight gain, loss of sex drive and other symptoms of peri-menopause and menopause.

 

Some women experience more extreme symptoms including anxiety, depression and sleeplessness.  For more severe symptoms, prescriptive dietary changes and selective supplements are needed to restore hormonal balance and reduce symptoms.

 

If menopausal symptoms are giving you trouble, attend our Hot Flash: Solutions for Peri-Menopause & Menopause class, or schedule an individual appointment with one of our nutritionists.
