Many women come into my clinic complaining of โฆ
๐ Weight Gain
๐ Insomnia
๐ Aches and Pains
โฆ along with some other accompanying symptoms.
Iโm rarely their first stop. Theyโve been to several other doctors that have run a battery of tests.
If they have been given a diagnosis, itโs often low thyroid โฆ or other hormones.
One in three are on thyroid or other hormone replacement medication.
Seriously??!!
The only solution the medical community has for women transitioning through menopause is medication to replace something thatโs irreplaceable!
You read that right.
Hormone replacement therapy is not a satisfactory replacement for our bodyโs naturally produced hormones โฆ even if you use bioidentical medication.
๐ง Think โฆ for a moment โฆ
Do we really believe that we can mimic the intricate process that the human body uses to produce hormones in just the right quantity and sequence to signal the cascade of events required to make everything work properly?
Mind-boggling – right??!!
I often say, โMenopause is the bookend to puberty. If you wouldnโt ‘jack’ with a young personโs hormones to ease the transition through puberty, why would you do that with a mature person going through menopause?โ
If the symptoms of menopause are unmanageable, itโs because your body is under too much stress โฆ typically from a buildup of toxicity.
Medication just adds to the problem.
The solution is to reduce the toxic stressors. This solves problems that havenโt even been identified โฆ yet.
The first step is to determine the types of toxicity that your body is struggling to manage. I developed my Metabolic Energy System Assessment as an easy way to do that. You can get started right HERE.
