How to Conquer Menopause
What if you could learn how to easily eliminate menopause symptoms through all 3 stages including peri-menopause, menopause and post-menopause and do it without taking traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?
It’s not only possible, it’s not that difficult. I can show you how to sail through mid-life without suffering and in addition, tell you everything you need to know about bioidentical hormones.
But first let me tell you a little bit about my story. I’m a 54-year-old woman very close to menopause (full cessation of my cycle), but I started experiencing some nasty symptoms related to peri-menopause at 46.
I was haunted by several symptoms:
-annoying mood swings including crying jags
-being prone to anger most of the time
-hot flashes during the day
-night sweats and wet sheets at night
-an inability to focus
-a significant loss of short-term memory
-uncomfortable gas and bloating, and
-abnormal weight gain – mostly in the middle
Belly fat is extremely annoying. What happened to being able to button your pants comfortably, or just sit down without feeling like there is a basketball in your stomach? Many people around me thought I was going nuts. Mostly because I often cried for no apparent reason at all.
My emotions appeared to be uncontrollable. I would literally be standing in the line at the grocery store and see a child walk by and break down into tears. For no reason! Or so I thought. I learned to wear my sunglasses pretty much everywhere I went.
Eventually, even I thought I was losing my mind! I turned 47 before I received my first helpful feedback and had one of those ‘aha’ moments during a conversation with my mother.
She said something to the effect that the last few times we had spoken, I sounded very “angry” and that it was very unlike me – and, the clincher – she recommended that I see a doctor. I hate doctors. So I got ticked off and didn’t do anything about it. LOL.
But time passed and my symptoms didn’t, and out of sheer desperation, I finally had to admit that she might be right … maybe something was in fact happening to me that I ought to be aware of. I began asking more questions …
Some to my peers, friends, co-workers, any other women I could find that was in the appropriate age range and would listen to me.
Questions like:
-What symptoms are you experiencing?
-How did you know when you entered peri-menopause?
-What can I do to prevent things like mood swings & hot flashes from happening to me?
-Does it ever all end?
-How can I get some immediate relief?
-What are these bio-identical hormones I keep hearing about in the news?
-Do you currently take traditional HRT and if so, how is that working for you?
-Do you know how to relieve water retention?
-What causes menopause dizziness?
-Does menopause come with joint pain?
-Can I expect more fatigue with menopause?
-Why have my anxiety levels increased since menopause?
-Will I ever get rid of the indigestion and bloating?
The predominant and reoccurring theme was that women trusted their doctors less especially if they had prescribed HRT for them, which most women have stopped taking.
Turns out lots of women were just like me … they did not have adequate answers for most of their questions and they were definitely looking for better, alternative solutions.
Most of women are going through menopause the same way I was … in a vacuum. Most of our mothers never talked to us about the mid-life transition because nobody ever talked to them about it either.
So I decided to break the cycle of ignorance and start talking about the subject to lots of women … and men, too! (We aren’t the only ones going through this cycle). And, I decided that the best way to reach these people quickly was by writing an eBook.
That’s when How to Conquer Menopause was born. Click here to find out all about this ebook.
