Feeling Unbalanced or Overwhelmed?
Menopause can significantly impact your quality of life, leaving you feeling unbalanced, overwhelmed, and unable to function at your best. If you're struggling with the emotional and physical symptoms of menopause, you're not alone.
Understanding the Science:
Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. Hormonal fluctuations during this transition can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and cognitive changes.
What does this feel like for you?
- Hot flashes:
"I experience sudden surges of intense heat."
- Night sweats:
"I wake up drenched in sweat during the night."
- Mood swings:
"I feel irritable, anxious, or depressed."
- Sleep disturbances:
"I have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep."
- Cognitive changes:
"I experience brain fog, forgetfulness, and difficulty concentrating."
- Vaginal dryness:
"I experience discomfort during intercourse."
- Loss of libido:
"I have decreased interest in sex."
