If you're experiencing hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, low libido, brain fog, insomnia, or any of the dozens of symptoms women can experience along the journey or peri-mid-post menopause, you're not alone. Menopause is a natural part of aging that affects every woman, but that doesn't mean you have to suffer through it.
Let’s explore the power of natural solutions for menopause, including increasing phytoestrogens in your diet, incorporating natural movement, and using herbal remedies to balance hormones, reduce symptoms and elevate health and well-being naturally!
Phytoestrogens
First, let's talk about phytoestrogens. These are plant-based compounds that can balance the effects of estrogen in your body. By increasing your intake of phytoestrogens, you can help balance your hormone levels naturally. Some foods that are high in phytoestrogens include soy, flaxseeds, chickpeas, and lentils.
Natural Movement
Incorporating natural movement into your daily routine can also help balance your hormones. This means moving your body in ways that feel good and natural, such as walking, dancing, or swimming. By doing so, you can reduce stress and improve your mood, both of which are essential for hormonal balance.
Herbal Remedies
Finally, let's talk about herbal remedies. Ashwaganda, red clover, and nettles are all herbs that can help balance your hormones during menopause.
Ashwaganda is an adaptogenic herb that helps your body adapt to stress. It has been shown to reduce cortisol levels, which is essential for reducing stress-related symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings.
Red clover is one of the richest sources of phytoestrogens, which, as we learned already, can help balance your hormone levels naturally. It has been shown to help with infertility, reduce hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms.
Nettles are another herb that can help balance your hormones during menopause. They are rich in vitamins and minerals, including iron and calcium, which are important for bone health. Nettles can also help reduce inflammation and improve your immune system.
So even though menopause is a natural part of a woman’s life in which she can experience a range of symptoms, you don't have to suffer through it. By increasing your intake of phytoestrogens, incorporating natural movement into your daily routine, and using herbal remedies such as ashwaganda, red clover, and nettles, you can help balance your hormones naturally, reduce your symptoms, and feel vibrant and empowered throughout this potent phase of life!
