🌸 Going through perimenopause? You’re not alone! Hot flashes, mood swings, wanting to scream at your partner and restless nights are common—but there are ways to make this stage smoother. Here are 4 tips to support your body naturally:
1️⃣ Stay Cool & Hydrated
Sip water throughout the day and avoid spicy foods/caffeine if hot flashes are a trigger.
2️⃣ Prioritize Movement
Find what feels good to you. Strength training, walking, hiking, yoga. They are all great. Keeping your body moving helps us mentally, physically and hormonally.
3️⃣ Rest and Stress Less
Easier said than done, but meditation, walking, or even 5 deep breaths can help balance hormones.
4️⃣ Try Acupuncture + Herbal Medicine
🌿 Gentle, natural support to regulate cycles, ease hot flashes, improve sleep, and bring balance back to your body. You are not alone, we are here to help!
