The Perimenopausal transition is the perfect opportunity to upgrade your health.
Women in the Perimenopausal and Menopausal stages of their lives are most open to reviewing and changing their lifestyle habits based on current scientific knowledge and a safe, trusting relationship with their chosen health professionals. They are the pillars of all societies, and they understand that, depending on their health and well-being, everyone else’s health is built upon. Let’s turn the wheel of everyone’s health together!
The most vulnerable time in any woman’s life is a time of significant hormonal changes. These times are puberty, pregnancy and menopause.
Menopause is an especially vulnerable time because hormonal changes are happening at the time of midlife aging with accumulated oxidative stress due to various lifestyle stressors.
WHAT: Most of us are entering menopause with various lifestyle habits, chronic exposure to environmental toxins, accumulated stress, a history of trauma, or even already established chronic medical and mental conditions. Many chronic medical conditions, including some types of diabetes & endocrine disease, autoimmune conditions, weight problems, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline, have similar underlying physiology of inflammation at the cellular level. In medical terminology, that process is called Metabolic Disease. Continuing mal-serving lifestyle habits and specific environmental exposures stimulate inflammation and accelerate aging. That combination of accelerated inflammation and rapid aging is often called “inflammaging”. That process is happening at the cellular level. Science confirms this is the underlying process for most chronic and poor health conditions.
The answer to why some women age better or worse, or age faster or slower than their peers of the same chronological age, is in their Health at the cellular level.
WHY: The genes inherited from our ancestors at birth are a non-variable part of our story—” Nature.” The variable part is everything we do, think, and feel throughout our lives and everything that happens to us from birth onwards. Let’s call it our internal and external environment—” Nurture.” Remember the old story of “Nurture versus Nature”?
HOW: How we review and navigate our lifestyle habits (what we do, think, and feel) now is very important in determining the quality of our Health. That is the only variable that is in our control. How we behave now directly impacts our health now and in the third stage of life and the trajectory of our aging.
This all might sound a bit too scientific and confusing. Therefore, asking for professional help and explanation is an excellent starting point toward better Health and healthier aging.
Developing a unique well-being health plan is the core of a healthy transition to postmenopause.
Understand Your Hormone Language
Every woman navigates the unique journey of perimenopause, and it's during this transition that hormones start communicating in a whole new language. It can sometimes feel like “sailing the same ocean with a broken compass”.
Are you ready to learn your body's hormone language and “upgrade your compass”?
Sometimes, we need help to recognise the many opportunities we have to modify our lifestyle habits to bring about better physical & mental health in our lives.
Even the most spontaneous people tend to stick to the same routines and habits. Sometimes, it can be hard to see other ways of living. Perimenopause is the perfect time to review our lifestyle habits and direct our aging toward health rather than disease. It is the ideal time because our bodies signal that change is required.
