Hormone Testing and Balancing
Premenopause, beginning roughly between the ages of 42 to 49, may set the stage for hormonal challenges. During this time it makes sense to start improving and building your physical and emotional health to prepare you for the rest of your life.
However, from ages 49 to 55 the typical women`s hormonal shifts will be at their greatest point, and will want support for these changes. By definition, a woman has reached menopause when she has not had a menstrual period for 12 months in a row.
Most women will experience some of the discomforts of menopause.
Symptoms can include:
-
Hot flashes and/or night sweating
-
Vaginal dryness and irritation
-
Sleep disturbances
-
Mood swings, excessive irritability, depression
-
“Fuzzy” thinking
-
Thinning hair
-
Loss of libido
-
Progressive weight gain that is difficult to control or lose
