The time of menopause approaching and happening is different from woman to woman and happens for diverse reasons. Some women have to deal with early menopause due to surgery, extreme stress and other unnatural occurrences. But it eventually happens to every woman; as early as the mid thirties or as late as the late fifties.
It certainly is a big change and can have its challenges. For some it may be frightening because they don’t know what they are in for. There are things we need to deal with not many of us have knowledge about or experience with. Among those are sudden weight gain, hot flashes, indigestion, physical changes in appearance like unwanted hair growth, allergies, fluctuations in energy and emotional instability.
Working with a health counselor at this daunting time is a good idea because it has many benefits. Some of them are:
- Gaining understanding of what is physically happening in the body
- Learning methods to diminish or eliminate symptoms
- Getting educated about alternative and safe options for hormone production
- Being coached in dietary changes that promote healthy weight
- Obtaining knowledge of how to keep bones, breasts and the heart healthy
- Having more energy and a positive outlook on the future
A health counselor can work with you on your specific challenges and will coach you to better health and well-being. Typically it won’t take very long for your body to respond and you will be off to feeling healthy and happy in no time.
