menopause

Menopause naturally occurs when our ovaries no longer respond to stimulation from the pituitary gland to secrete estrogen and progesterone. This usually happens between the ages of 45 and 55 when menstruation become irregular and eventually stops altogether.

Menopause starts a transformation for women both physically and psychically. Naturopathic Medicine can properly prepare women to go much more gently through this transiton.

With recent controversies surrounding the adverse effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), many women are seeking safer alternatives to ease the menopausal transition.

Symptoms of Menopause may include:

  • Hot flashes
  • Mood swings
  • Anxiety
  • Insomnia
  • Depression
  • Vaginal dryness
  • and more...

Treatments to minimize or eliminate these symptoms may include dietary and nutritional counseling, homeopathy, specialized supplements, lifestyle recommendations, and acupuncture.

Associated risk factors for osteoporosis, breast cancer (and other cancers), and heart disease will be thoroughly discussed with you during your visit.

By identifying and treating the root cause of the of your hormonal imbalance with nutritional support, botanical medicine, counseling, acupuncture and homeopathy, these symptoms can be managed and minimized.
