IF I WOKE UP FULLY MENOPAUSAL OVERNIGHT, THIS IS WHAT I WOULD DO
THIS!!!!😍
This post here is based off of my FAVOURITE world renowned menopause doctor, OB-GYN, and woman's doctor....
"If I woke up fully menopausal overnight, this is what I would do to protect my long term health"..... And i couldn't agree more! 🙌🏽 This is not based off of trends or guesswork. Its based on evidence, data and her 25 years as a woman's health doctor.💖 (also note..i ONLY post things i can back up and prove with research, studies , data, and my studies in becoming a certified menopause specialist)
First off... GET INFORMED!! Menopause isn't something to tough out. It's something to strategically manage for you bones, your brain, your heart and metabolism!! Your body deserves support and you DESERVE to be listened to and not pushed away, told its "probably just depression", "you're too young", or that you're "overreacting", and "it's all in your head".
Second, get your labs and screenings updated. DEMAND it if you have to!! Choose a doctor of clinician who UNDERSTANDS perimenopause and menopause. Did you know that typically doctors only get approximately 5 hours of training in alllllll their years in medical school and residency training on menopause??! FIVE HOURS!! 🤯 That is mindblowing😩 Even OB-GYN programs don't often offer a structured menopause curriculum. This makes me sad.....and THIS is why i am so passionate about learning ALL and EVERYTHING I can to help other women know what they deserve for their health in this time of life.❤️🩹 Talk to said experienced doctor about hormone therapy options if you are a candidate to do so. HRT has been a GAME CHANGER for me and many women I know.😍 Go in prepared with detailed information about your symptoms and your health history, (along with your family health history) so that your doctor can decide if you are a candidate to start it.
🏋️♀️Next- PICK UP THOSE WEIGHTS!!🏋️♀️ The benefits of strength training , especially for women in menopause is essential for everything from keeping your bones strong and stronger bone density, keeping your muscles strong to counteract age related muscle loss, your balance - so that you don't succumb to a nasty fall, better weight management, and SIGNIFICANTLY reduces risks of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease and strokes!🤯 It will also improve your mood and your sleeps by reducing anxiety - and it can even help with the severity of those horrible hot flashes!!!❤️🔥
😴Treat your sleep like medicine!!! PRIORITIZE getting great sleeps each night. Getting 7 - 9 hours of sleep each night will dramatically help you manage your peri menopause and menopause symptoms.
It can reduce your brain fog, lessen your hot flashes and night sweats, improves your overall moods and emotional health, along with even protecting things like your cardiovascular health, weight management, boost your immune system and aids in lowering your risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, alzheimer's, obesity and type 2 diabetes!! sounds like a great reason to get some sleep to me!!
And lastly, reduce inflammation in your body and also reduce your stress with movement (even getting ten minutes of walking after each meal helps!) and eating CLEAN non processed foods! 🥑
Doing both of these things can also help alleviate SO many of your symptoms! Symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, chronic disease like all i've stated above - and even osteoporosis! In contrast - eating processed foods will worsen many of your symptoms along with increasing long term health risks.
🫶🏽I hope this post has helped you - and please remember! You don't have to go through any of this alone!! I am here for YOU, we are here for each other, 💞 and if you have ANY questions or just want an ear to vent to - please never ever hesitate to reach out to me!
