Lets Talk About Menopause!

Friends,

If you're anything like me, the onset of peri/menopause may have taken you by surprise. Those unexpected hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, and the feeling that your head might just detach from your neck—it's a journey many of us are navigating, often unprepared.

I vividly remember a moment during a family vacation in North Carolina when it struck me that things weren't "business as usual." It was at that point that I decided to take control of my menopause, rather than allowing it to control me. I embarked on a journey of discovery, spending years researching the right foods, lifestyle adjustments, and herbal, vitamin, and mineral supplements that helped me avoid traditional hormone replacement therapy. I became a true biohacker, dedicating my days to understanding the inner workings of my body, exploring nutritional, medical, philosophical aspects, and leveraging the latest technologies.

The choice to transform menopause into one of the most empowering and fulfilling phases of my life was not always easy, but it was undeniably worth it. My 50s proved be better than my 30s ever were, and at 64, I look and feel better than I did at 24. The journey required hard work and courage, but just ask my patient and understanding husband—it was absolutely worth it.

You can trust me when I say that life can become even more vibrant as you navigate these changes. Farewell to those moments of obligatory intimacy—what lies ahead is a newfound desire for flirting, loving, hugging, and, believe me, even better and more fulfilling experiences in the bedroom. Embracing this journey helps you reconnect with your partner in ways you never expected. It can also help you reconnect with your life in unexpected ways. During this transition, everything comes into play and creating real balance becomes key.

One crucial lesson from my journey is the importance of seeking help and being clear about how you're feeling. You're not alone in this, and asking for help is a courageous step toward reclaiming your vitality and sensuality.

Although I was already board certified by the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, my personal journey through the complexities of hormonal shifts led me to Dr. Sara Gottfried's book, "The Hormone Cure." After implementing her protocols and witnessing the transformation in my own life, I became a certified coach in her methodologies, enhancing my knowledge of achieving optimal hormone balance through primary food, environment and wellness management.

To be clear, you're not going crazy. Your vanishing sex drive, thinning hair, unexpected acne, muffin top, sleepless nights, and various other discomforts can often be attributed to hormonal imbalances, cortisol levels, blood sugar, thyroid function, and more—all of which can often be addressed through some simple lifestyle adjustments.

I am living proof that you can regain your vitality and more without necessarily resorting to hormone replacement therapy in your 40s or birth control pills in your 50s. However, it's essential to acknowledge that for many women, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can be an important and affirming step in the journey to regain energy and vitality. I'll never discourage you from exploring HRT if you believe it is necessary for your well-being. Your health decisions should always be based on what's best for you and your unique journey.

From your very first period to your last, each phase of life brings its own unique set of challenges. Remember, you don't have to navigate these challenges on your own. I'm here to provide you with unwavering support and guidance, and if necessary, I can connect you with knowledgeable medical professionals who can offer the care you require. It's important to recognize that many of these challenges can be addressed through simple lifestyle adjustments—I've personally experienced their transformative power.

In my work with clients, I focus on fostering powerful transformations across every facet of life because the journey through menopause is not merely physical. It encompasses your relationships with your partner, family and friends, your career, your spiritual well-being, the nourishment you provide your body, and how you choose to move through life. Perhaps most significantly, it's about allowing yourself to love and be loved. Sometimes, this entails revisiting the basics in your relationships to create space for intimacy to blossom anew. Embracing the full spectrum of these experiences is a path to profound healing and growth.
