Menopause! It’s no joke for a lot of women. There is soooooo much being talked about in the media rn. The course I took was based on the current reaearch. There was a ton of into and my brain is still digesting. Here are some global concepts:
-estrogen receptors are everywhere so a decline means a wide range of potential symptoms -think bones, muscles, skin, heart, genitourinary etc.
-everyone’s experience is different-some will breeze through while others suffer greatly
-lifestyle matters! Sleep, nutrition, stress management, exercise
-hormones are safe and effective BUT find a provider that understands menopause and how nuanced prescribing hormones can be
-hormones are NOT for everyone-by choice, tolerance, medical history etc
-you don’t have to suffer, the change is profound and self care, compassion, and grace are needed
