Menopause Myths and The Answers You Need
Some of the factors are in your control such as whether you smoke or drink. Women who smoke may go through menopause earlier than women who don’t and women who drink may experience menopause later than women who do not. Being pregnant is also a factor, as more pregnancies may result in a later menopause.
But another big factor that is out of your control is the age at which your mother stopped having her periods and went through menopause. This may be one of the best ways to estimate your age at menopause but it’s still just an indicator, not an absolute.
Whether you are just trying to learn more about what lies ahead or you are actively seeking to address symptoms, you can find out more about the support you need in our free, online Hormonal Health Assessment.
10. Is taking hormones better for you during menopause?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is not without risks and side effects, so we believe you should thoroughly consider your natural options first. Working with thousands of patients and members, we have found that listening to your body and living a healthy lifestyle – complete with physical activity and good nutrition – can go a long way toward managing your symptoms and restoring hormonal balance.
Nutritional supplementation and phytotherapy can help many women replace the missing nutrients from their diets and supplement their healthy eating to reduce hormonal imbalance symptoms. For many women, this is enough – while others may benefit from bioidentical hormones, working under the guidance of a healthcare practitioner qualified to ensure you find the right dose and balance.
There are always options and choices and we encourage you to explore natural solutions before turning to HRT. Our suggestions for hormonal imbalance can help you determine the right next step for you.
