Peri-Menopause

Peri-Menopause is defined as “around menopause” and relates to the time period during which a woman’s body is reaching its point of becoming permanently infertile. Many women begin to undergo changes in their bodies that can be very bothersome and begin to negatively affect their quality of life. While many physicians will readily prescribe medicines to help manage and ease symptoms of peri-menopause, there are natural and safe therapies that can help women find relief and improve their overall health and quality of life.

Peri-Menopause is a natural state in a woman’s reproductive life and typically begins in the forties and will last until Menopause. During these hormonal changes many women experience uncomfortable symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and sleeplessness. An accomplished Naturopathic Physician is able to offer safe and effective therapies that are tailored to each patient and her biochemistry. During a peri-menopause testing procedure a woman’s levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA will be measured. As with a wholistic approach to medicine, the entire body will also be taken into consideration because a Wholistic Physician knows that the body works as a whole, and is not simply made up of single parts working alone.

Understanding the relationship between hormone levels, multiple glands (e.g. hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, ovarian axis, etc.), and the rest of the body is essential in providing women with the relief they desire from symptoms of peri-menopause. Contact a Wholistic or Naturopathic Physician in your area today to schedule an appointment in order to achieve relief from peri-menopausal symptoms and to reach a more balanced state of health.
