Nutritional and lifestyle support to help with hormonal changes
The perimenopause and menopausal transition years generally occur during the 40s and 50s, which can coincide with a number of lifestyle changes and difficulties.
These lifestyle changes can include dealing with day to day issues such as managing family life, elderly relatives, juggling a career or having to deal with any number of unforeseen life events. This combination can lead to feelings that change on a daily basis, sometimes hour by hour, leaving loved ones bewildered as to how to cope with these changes, or women feeling overwhelmed without anyone to turn to.
Hormonal symptoms and systems
Hormonal changes can have an impact on so many other systems in the body and complex inter connections and fluctuations are taking place at the same time. It is no wonder that women and their family members or colleagues can feel the result of those changes. The symptoms and systems that we can help with include:
