What is Menopause?

Menopause is the time in a woman’s life when the ovarian production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone decline. The average age of menopause onset is fifty-one, plus or minus several years. Menopause is medically defined as the time in which a woman ceases to menstruate for the duration of 1 year. Although the definition properly describes the event, the process can begin up to 10-15 years earlier and is called perimenopause or pre-menopause and for many women this starts as early as age 35.

Long before a woman’s menstruation stops, she will begin to notice changes in her body. Over time, her periods will become shorter in length, some longer and more “clotty”, and she will notice a loss of energy, a decrease in strength, weight gain, sluggish metabolism, and a loss of libido. Her mood is altered and she may be more agitated, depressed, apathetic, and forgetful. While these are all symptoms of menopause, it is important to know that there is a bigger picture during this time your hormones are changing - you are experiencing the loss of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone and this occurs during perimenopause.

There is no way to stop menopause, it’s a natural cycle of life. Every woman will go through menopause and perimenopause at some point in her life. However, the difference is how you deal with this normal process. This imbalance in hormones is often accerlated and intensified by poor diet, poor nutrition and stress and can be balanced by correcting those areas we have control over.  Finding what is not balanced in your life and your body is what Dr. King can do for you. Natural bioidentical hormone therapy along with homeopathy and body balancing with nutrition and dietary changes will help you in an amazing way to manage and often eliminate the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.   Utilizing Dr. King’s expertise and our body scanning system we give you a new leash on life and bring your body back to that youthful energy you had in your 20’s as your hormones are balanced back out.

Menopause Symptoms

• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Weight gain
• Mood swings
• Depression
• Trouble sleeping
• Vaginal dryness
• Loss of sex drive
• Urinary Incontinence
• Irritability

Hot flashes, night sweats, trouble sleeping and weight gain are the most common symptoms of hormonal imbalance as a woman ages.  Perimenopause weight gain is oftentimes misdiagnosed and is one of the first signs of hormonal imbalance, it’s the “I eat less and less and yet I still seem to gain weight feeling”. These signs of menopause or early menopause and related conditions are also connected to your stress levels, poor nutrition, lack of exercise and the environmental toxins your body is exposed to on a daily basis.

In combination these benefits have the long-term effect of improving your overall quality of life and it all starts with bioidentical hormones for menopause.

Beyond Menopause

Menopause is often dreaded by women due to the symptoms and a preconceived notion that it is a marker of old age. In reality, women often live into their high eighties and nineties, making menopause more of a half way point than anything else. Without menopause symptoms, women experience a huge relief of stress, allowing you to relax more and enjoy your life. Around 75% of women say that they were having more every day fun in their lives after the end of menopause symptoms. 93% of women claim an increase in independence as well.  This is not a time to dread, women should be able to easily pass through both perimenopause and menopause with high energy, balance, good mental clarity, and a great sex drive. We can do this by balancing your body, balancing your hormones and balancing your nutritional needs.  Talk with Dr. King today at skingdc@earthlink.net or 626-799-0557.
