Are You in Peri-menopause? I can help!

 
 

 I''m almost 40 and this is when peri-menopause often begins. There is so much you can do to set your body up before you go into peri-menopause, which I cover in my group hormone program.

Today, I just wanted to clarify the difference between peri-menopause and menopause. People incorrectly think they’re in menopause when they have all the symptoms and an irregular period.

Did you know your period needs to cease for a full year to enter menopause?

Typical symptoms of peri-menopause?

  • Period length changing, more irregular

  • Changes in weight

  • Anxious

  • Hard time falling asleep or insomnia

  • Spotting

  • PMS is worse than prior

  • Hair changes

  • Headaches or migraines

The food you eat, your lifestyle and the products you use all impact your menopausal journey.

My biggest tip: support your nervous system. Sex hormones switch from the ovaries to the adrenal glands once in menopause. If you’re stressed, you will feel more symptoms through this life journey. Take time to rest, go for walks in nature, move intuitively, focus on sleep and saying no to what doesn’t light you up.

Another tip: ensure you’re getting enough fibre, this is only from plants. FIbre will help move excess estrogen out of the body into the bowels. It also stabilizes blood sugar levels and supports a healthy microbiome. Aim for 25-38 grams of fibre per day (women-men). Try using cronometer for a day if you have a healthy relationship with food tracking to see how much you’re truly getting.

I currently have a waitlist of people wanting to work with me so if you experience any of these symptoms, jump on the wait list and I’ll contact you when the next group program opens up this spring (2022). Everyone gets custom hormone testing and personalized wellness plans to get to the root cause of how YOU are feeling.

It will transform your life.
