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.
