Menopause & Perimenopause

Why are you finding treatments for peri-menopause and menopause symptoms confusing?

When just about every celebrity or influencer is sharing their menopause journey and hormone replacement therapy and supplement ads are populating your social media it’s confusing.

Menopause is a complex metabolic process and is unique for every woman. For some women, their body slowly and steadily puts the brakes on sex hormone production, allowing for a relatively symptom-free menopause. But for other women, their bodies alternate between producing too much of some hormones and not enough of the others, and this contributes to hormonal imbalance and — you guessed it! — menopausal symptoms. 

Generally speaking, the worse your menopause symptoms are, the more inflammation and stress hormones are present causing disruptions to overall body function. Shifting hormones can upset your life wreaking havoc on your relationships, your moods, and your physical and emotional well-being. But you don’t have to just sit back and take it. Acupuncture can help.
