You’re cranky,  tired, and bloated. You crave salt and chocolate and say things you later regret. You are gaining weight despite eating salads and exercising. What’s going on?

The overwhelming stress of juggling multiple roles: career, wife, mother, volunteer, etc. leaves many women feeling depleted. Combine stress and maybe a bit too much sugar and caffeine in the diet will affect that delicate hormonal balancing act. This can result in erratic cycles, mood swings, cravings, insomnia, hot flashes – get the picture? Rather than “symptom treat,” is there a way to return to feeling more energetic and balanced? Yes!

Let’s start with your diet ladies. I know you love your mocha frapps and double

stuffed oreos, but changes will need to be made here. Diet is foundational. Without eating healthy whole foods, i.e. organic proteins, healthy fats, lots of veggies and fresh fruit your body at some point will rebel!  Adrenal support is essential such as ashwagandha, ginseng, holy basil, etc. (we discussed these in our August article).  As the adrenals are your backup system for hormone production, it’s important to give them some love!  It’s also important to schedule some fun downtime during the week for that much needed battery recharge! 😊

If you’d like to schedule a personal consultation to discuss any issues relating to hormones (pre- or post-menopause), I have a plan that will help you feel like you are back in control of your life! Hormone replacement therapy is a quick fix for most, but not without risks. As a holistic practitioner, I believe making some dietary changes, as well as supplementing with some time honored herbs and nutrients can be effective in most cases.

This month we will be promoting AM/PM PeriMenopause & AM/PM Menopause from Nature’s Way. These two formulas are customer favorites! AM/PM Peri-M helps relieve symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, mood swings, occasional sleeplessness and night sweats. AM/PM-Menopause focuses a bit more on hot flashes and night sweats, but also helps relieve the symptoms mentioned above. We actually have husbands come in to refill this formula when the wife runs out! Both formulas on sale 20% off during the month of October!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. How do we reduce our risk? Shop our natural skin care and natural deodorants.
