Understanding Menopause
When a woman enters the menopausal stage, her body undergoes significant and transformative changes that extend beyond merely the end of menstrual cycles. Our menopause nutritionists understand these intricate shifts and are dedicated to guiding you gracefully through this natural transition.
Menopause, typically occurring between ages 40 and 55, marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years, which not only brings hormonal fluctuations but also influences various physical and mental aspects, including:
-
Hormonal Shifts: Decline in estrogen and progesterone levels.
-
Physical Changes: Alterations in body composition, bone density, and skin health.
-
Mental and Emotional Impact: Shifts in mood, memory, and cognitive functions.
The brain, as much as the body, experiences notable changes during menopause. Studies indicate that the drop in estrogen levels is linked to certain cognitive changes and may also impact emotional well-being and mood. Navigating through these changes requires a nuanced approach that encompasses dietary and lifestyle modifications.
