Peri-menopause is a normal part of the aging process in women. It is the slow transition into menopause when your ovaries gradually make less estrogen which affects ovulation and progesterone levels. It usually started in women’s 40s but can also start in our 30’s. This transition to menopause lasts on average 4 years but can last 10+ years in some women.
Menopause officially starts when women haven’t had a menstrual period for 12 months. Symptoms of menopause, like hot flashes, usually ease but some can linger and health related risks to the loss of estrogen increase as you age. Like peri-menopause, symptoms last about 4 years on average but can last 10+ years in some women.
"Part of the joy of being a woman is that we get to go through hormonal changes not only at puberty but also in midlife. BUT it doesn’t have to feel like you are going crazy like your hormones are controlling you. By using natural treatments, herbal remedies and a holistic personalized approach, we can get you feeling like yourself again. You may be used to taking care of other people but when you go through peri-menopause, it is time to start taking care of yourself."
– Dr. Veronique Theriault, ND
Aging is inevitable but feeling crazy and hormonal isn’t. By using natural treatments and herbal remedies and a holistic personalized approach, we can get you relief and feeling like yourself again.
Acupuncture has been shown to be a great add on treatment for peri-menopausal and menopausal symptoms. It is especially effective for hot flashes and improves quality of life.
Common supplements that we use to support women through menopause are vitamins and minerals such as zinc and B Complex; botanicals such as Black Cohosh, and fish oil.
Improving nutrition can reduce peri-menopausal and menopausal symptoms by balancing hormones and blood sugar, providing nutrients & antioxidants, and by reducing inflammation.
Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) involves replacing estrogen and progesterone levels to more youthful levels and treat hormonal symptoms.
Thyroid replacement therapy can also be helpful for hot flashes and other peri-menopause and menopause symptoms.
Manual therapy like massage and craniosacral therapy can support your nervous system and improve hormone symptoms by reducing stress, creating a sense of empowerment and mind-body connection. It is best used as a complementary therapy as part of an integrative approach.
A healthy lifestyle is the foundation of health. Making sustainable changes to your lifestyle like increasing movement, improving sleep, limiting alcohol, quitting smoking, and stress management can make impactful changes to your peri-menopausal and menopausal symptoms.
