PERIMENOPAUSE


Perimenopause can bring a perfect storm of hormonal changes and age-related anxieties. Your body begins to produce less estrogen and progesterone—but you’re still having regular or semi-regular periods. The irregularity can begin to produce a myriad of unpleasant symptoms, from raging PMS to fluid retention or hemorrhagic periods! One of the toughest parts is the inability to grasp a pattern. My approach involves the use of herbs, supplements and dietary changes to help regulate hormonal changes and provide relief of common perimenopause symptoms such as:

INCREASED URINARY URGENCY AND LEAKAGE

INSOMNIA

WEIGHT GAIN

MOOD IRREGULARITIES

HOT FLASHES

FLUID RETENTION AND BLOATING

HEAVY, PAINFUL PERIODS

LOW SEX DRIVE

VAGINAL DRYNESS / DISCOMFORT DURING SEX

In addition to lifestyle changes, I may recommend acupuncture to complement your perimenopause and menopause treatment protocol. Through my network, you’ll be connected with a skilled practitioner who will introduce you to the magic of this ancient balancing method.
