Lovelies, here are 5 ways you can manage menopause.

1. Having a holistic approach - using all of the health and wellbeing modalities available to you to support you. Did you know that they are naturopaths, acupuncturists, nutritionists, physiotherapists who specialise in women’s health, in particular perimenopause and menopause?
2. Find a great GP - advocate for your health! Find a GP who has done further education in menopause specifically. Did you know that GP’s and Gynaecologists are not specifically trained in menopause (I’ve got another post coming on that!)
3. Exercise - move your body. Avoid high intensity and raising cortisol levels. Strength is great, brisk walking is great, Pilates, yoga are great too.
4. Connection - being to connected to others, in particular others going through perimenopause and menopause so you can talk about it.
5. Mindfulness - we often get stuck in doing busy. Not present and that’s when anxiety, the emotions and fear creep in. Notice what you feel. Journal, meditate , breathwork and being in nature (shoes off off on grass or in the ocean or pool) are great ways to practice mindfulness to reduce stress and anxiety.

What are some other ways you have found helpful in managing your perimenopause or menopause?

One of the common signs of perimenopause is irregular periods. The fluctuations in estrogen can mean your period comes less often, or sometimes more often and for some, heavier or lighter.

Everyone woman's experience is different.

Do you track your cycle?

There are some great apps like Flo where you can track your cycle, especially when they are changing. Sometimes it's not until you track your period and noticing other changes in yourself and your body like mood changes, brain fog, that it can help establish if you're going through perimenopause.

Iit can be really empowering to know what is going on through the changes and consider what you might want to do about it. And there are so many options for seeking advice and help!

Finding a network of women and connection through perimenopause and menopause are the essence for sharing experiences and being advocates for our health!

Love what has created, and how she is moving the pendulum on menopause. We need more conversations!
