Hormone Health

It's time to put YOU first and take control of your perimenopause

Are you tired of feeling, well, tired? Your body is sluggish, your energy is low, and you feel overwhelmed by mood swings, anxiety, loss of confidence and lack of focus.  Perhaps you describe yourself as a raging sweaty mess and can’t remember the last time, you had a decent night’s sleep?

You’re not alone!  These are just a few of the many symptoms associated with your hormones, which can affect you at any stage of life, but particularly when you hit your 40s and enter into the topsy-turvy world of Peri-menopause.

The good news is, you don’t have to feel like this, and you don’t have to navigate this on your own.  What you eat and how you take care of yourself can have a huge impact on your hormone health and overall wellbeing.

What is happening to your hormones in perimenopause?

During perimenopause your reproductive (or steroid) hormones become imbalanced and over time, they decline.  The hormone progesterone falls steadily, and with that you may experience increased anxiety, insomnia, depression, vaginal dryness, low libido, and less frequent periods.  Oestrogen on the other hand can become very erratic with regular highs and lows and a tendency to dominate over other hormones.  This can be experienced as heavy and painful periods, worsened PMS, sore or tender breasts, hair loss, headaches and bloating.

You have over 50 different hormones in your body, and they are all interconnected, when one starts to get out of line, it can impact the others, which is why your perimenopausal symptoms can feel completely alien and often not related to your periods at all.

Other areas of your body are affected by these changes, such as your gut health, how you tolerate and digest food, and how you carry weight around your mid-riff.  You may also experience brain health symptoms like memory loss, and brain fog, and if you are trying to keep on top of your demanding work life, you may find your ability to handle stress becomes harder.  And your energy levels may suddenly not be what they used to be.  All of this is the impact of the hormone system adjusting to what is going on inside you.
