Due to our modern lifestyle, we are often very stressed and, especially as women, responsible for too many things. A study has shown that being a mother causes a similar rise in cortisol as being a paramedic or emergency room doctors.
But the professional world is also associated with more stress than ever. Together with an unfavorable lifestyle, eating habits and little exercise, trauma and a stucked nervous system the function of the adrenal glands can be disrupted. In the long term, the adrenal glands are weakened and produce too little cortisol.
However, after the menopause, the adrenal glands actually take over the production of hormones that were previously produced by the ovaries.
In addition, hormones such as progesterone, DHEA, thyroid hormones, melatonin, HGH and oxytocin decrease during the menopause.
If the adrenal glands are weakened, they are subsequently unable to produce enough oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
HRT can provide relief in some cases, but is also only symptom relief. Some women also cannot tolerate it because the adrenal gland, or stress, is not taken into account as the original cause even if these hormones reduce the stress response. Exception is, if structural problems decreasing the function of the organs.
This is where yoga can make a major contribution to alleviating or improving menopausal symptoms. You can find out exactly how this works and what else can help in our "Embrace your Hormones" workshop at our unique Feminine Soul Retreat.
