Irritability, brain fog, and hormonal changes, oh my! Tips for thriving as we age!

Are you feeling the emotional and physical effects of hormonal changes, like brain fog, irritability, or weight gain, but aren't sure how to handle them? It can be tough to find reliable guidance and solutions that work, especially as many of us are facing perimenopause and menopause. But don’t worry! Help is on the way!

 

In this episode, I am joined by Brett Eaton, an integrative nurse practitioner from Whole Health Chicago, to shine a light on these hormonal changes and empower you with practical advice. Brett brings her wealth of expertise to help us better understand symptoms like fatigue, libido changes, and unexpected weight gain. 

 

We dive into strategies for tackling these challenges head-on, from holistic practices, and lifestyle adjustments, to the potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which could possibly protect our brains from developing dementia later on! We also address common concerns and misconceptions about treatments like HRT and the importance of personalized care.

 

Tune in and get empowering insights to help you feel more at ease with where you are and confident about navigating your eventual menopausal transition.

 

With love and light,
Jana
