Menopause is often lovingly referred to as the "change of life," but for those of us riding the hormonal dragon, it feels anything but gentle. It’s the powerful transition in womanhood marking a new chapter in our lives, much like when we went through puberty as young girls. It’s full of its own set of fiery challenges-the hormonal dragon that often breathes hot flashes, mood swings, and sleepless nights into our lives. It’s full of confusion, frustration, emotional highs and lows, and feelings of exhaustion. This mythical beast represents the tumultuous effects hormonal imbalances can wreak on our bodies, emotions, and overall well-being.  It’s as if we suddenly wake up one morning, look in the mirror, and don’t even recognize the person staring back at us.  

Hormones can often feel like the unsung puppet masters of our well-being, capable of turning our day from tranquil to tumultuous without a moment's notice. Hormones are the delicate balancing act that controls almost all of our bodily functions. When they are functioning healthily, they are a beautiful symphony. But when they are out of balance, they often feel like a group of 3rd graders who are picking up the recorder in music class for the first time. You know that sound! The nails on the chalkboard, screeching, squeaking annoyance of every parent's worst nightmares!  Yet, what if I told you that there's a path through the smoke—a way to tame this dragon inside and even ride with it in harmony? Fear not, for there are natural, holistic methods to tame this dragon, bringing peace and equilibrium back to our lives. 
The journey through perimenopause and menopause necessitates a balanced approach that embraces the mind, body, and the healing powers of the natural world. Embracing nature as a source of support and equilibrium can guide us through the stormy seas of hormonal changes, showcasing the strength and resilience inherent in navigating this transformative phase of life. Utilizing natural methods to address these challenges positions us to find a sense of harmony amidst the upheaval, empowering us to forge a path forward with grace and confidence.

This is what I do! As a doctor, I help you find natural solutions to bring balance back to your body and learn to embrace the changes that you are seeing visibly.  I help you understand the signs your body is throwing at you and interpret them to get to the root of the situation. Let's chat! 

XOXO,
