Navigating Menopause with Grace:
A Holistic Approach to Wellbeing
Are you in the midst of perimenopause, grappling with challenges like insomnia, night sweats, fatigue, irritability, mood swings and low libido?
Have you been advised that the only solution lies in birth control pills or hormone treatments? Or worse, have you been told there’s nothing that can be done?
If you’re already in the menopausal phase, you may be facing additional symptoms such as dry skin, thinning hair, bone density loss, dark under-eye circles, weight gain, brain fog, vaginal dryness, and a loss of intimacy. Have you, too, been informed that hormone replacement therapy is your only option?
There is so much more that you can do to change these symptoms without drugs or hormone treatments.
Menopause is a natural phase of improved health and the symptoms you’re experiencing are not attributed to age, but rather to pathogens, toxins, and overwhelmed organs in your body.
This resource is to empower you with knowledge, shedding light on various tools that can restore your body to optimal health during perimenopause and menopause.
Here are three of my top recommendations to change the symptoms you have been experiencing:
A Holistic Approach to Wellbeing
Mindset:
- Shift your perspective: Rather than believing that hormonal decline is an unavoidable aspect of aging, consider the possibility that other endocrine glands in your body continue producing the bulk of reproductive hormones even after menopause.
- How would this revelation reshape your approach to care and treatment?
Food & Nutrition:
- Optimizing your body’s health through dietary changes may be remarkably healing. Nourishing your body will nourish the endocrine and reproductive systems.
- Embracing a low-fat or, even better, a very low-fat diet without the use of oils or radical fats especially in the morning may help the body purge the accumulated poisons that are at the root of the problem.
- Incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables provides essential glucose, mineral salts, antioxidants, and hydration for overall maintenance and optimal healing.
- Increase your fluid intake by 2-3 liters a day to promote the flushing of toxins and pathogens from your system.
Cleanses:
- Integrate a regular monthly cycle of formalized liver or brain cleanses into your routine for a quicker recovery from symptoms previously attributed to perimenopause or menopause. I recommend the gentle cleanses published by Anthony Williams, the Medical Medium as other cleanses are often too harsh on the body to provide relief.
Supplements:
- Explore a variety of supplements to optimize health and alleviate symptoms.
- Some supplements have antiviral properties, some are hormone regulators, while others are adaptogenic, helping your organs adapt and thrive during this time of increased stress.
Here are a few that I often recommend:
- Ashwagandha: Improves brain fog, energy, and sleep cycles.
- Amla Berry: A natural treatment for hot flashes as it cools the body and helps. regulate body temperature fluctuations. Amla also helps regrow hair and maintain hair color as you age.
- Black Cohosh: Known for its potential to alleviate hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings associated with menopause.
- Chaste Tree Berry: Helps nourish and support the endocrine system and decrease the occurrence of hot flashes.
- Dong Quai: Prevents hot flashes and regulates hormones.
- Licorice Root: Lowers liver heat reducing hot flashes.
- Nettle Leaf: Supports the endocrine system and boosts heart and liver health.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids, EPA & DHA: Supports heart health and cognitive function during menopause.
- Raspberry Leaf: Balances hormones and supports the entire endocrine system.
- Note: It’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen to ensure it aligns with your individual health needs and doesn’t interact with other medications or conditions.
Meditations:
- Engage in guided meditations designed for symptom relief and rebuilding your faith in your body’s ability to heal. These practices can be powerful tools in aiding your recovery from a myriad of symptoms associated with menopause.
Remember, menopause is not a barrier to optimal health; it’s an opportunity for transformation. Embrace these practical tips, and let them guide you on a journey of wellbeing during this unique phase of life.
