Why didn’t our moms tell us what REALLY happened during menopause? Because we didn’t talk about it! Let’s talk about it. Share this with a friend.

Myth:

Hot Flashes

Night Sweats

Vaginal Dryness

Starts at age 50

Your first sign will be a hot flash

Will last one year.

Truth:

Menopause doesn’t have to include hot flashes. I’ve talked to LOT’S of women who have almost no hot flash symptoms but have some of the other items on the list below.

It can start anywhere from your late 30’s!!! to early 60’s.

Hot Flashes

Feeling warm- like you have a cold or flu

Night sweats

Vaginal Dryness

Painful to have sex

Waking up randomly in the night wide awake for no reason!

Anxious to leave the house, crying out of nowhere, angry, irritable

Weight gain especially in the tummy

Feeling super tired

Memory Issues- feeling foggy, forgetful, difficulty concentrating

Loss of sex drive

Can last a year, a decade or even longer!

DON’T wait it out. So many of these symptoms are not going away on their own. YOU know when your hormones are off. Without putting the exact wording on it, people tell me all the time, “I think my hormones are off”. It’s not until they see the checklist or I ask questions related to their hormones that they are like YES, that’s me. We know our bodies and we know when we’re not ourselves. Your naturopathic doctor can support you through menopause. If you’re ready to get started, book your menopause consult with me. We can do it virtually by a video call or in person.
