About Menopause
The functional medicine approach to menopause focuses on individualized care by addressing the root causes of symptoms through a comprehensive assessment of hormonal imbalances, nutrition, lifestyle, and stress levels. It aims to restore balance by using natural interventions, including personalized nutrition, hormone therapy, stress reduction techniques, and supplements. By addressing underlying factors, this approach helps alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and fatigue, promoting long-term wellness and improved quality of life during menopause.
Menopause Influences On Physical Health
Menopause significantly impacts physical health, often leading to symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, and weight gain. Hormonal changes can also increase the risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and joint pain. Managing these effects involves lifestyle adjustments, nutrition, and addressing hormonal imbalances to maintain long-term well-being.
Menopause Influences On Mental Health
Menopause can affect mental health through mood swings, anxiety, depression, and difficulty concentrating, often linked to hormonal fluctuations. Sleep disturbances and fatigue may worsen emotional well-being. Addressing these changes with stress management, lifestyle adjustments, and support can help improve mental resilience and overall emotional balance during this transition.
Menopause Influences On Brain Health
Menopause can impact brain function, leading to memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, and "brain fog," often due to hormonal changes, particularly the decline in estrogen. These cognitive challenges may affect daily tasks and productivity. Addressing lifestyle factors, such as sleep, nutrition, and stress management, can help support brain health during menopause.
