@nourishingapothecary: Hot flushes, broken sleep, anxiety, changes in weight, vaginal dryness or a libido that seems to have disappeared. Menopause can affect much more than your periods, and every woman’s experience is different. Toni and I sat down to talk about what menopause actually means and how we approach support at Nourishing Apothecary. Natural menopause is confirmed after 12 months without a period, when there’s no other explanation. The years of hormonal change leading up to that are perimenopause. Afterwards, you’re postmenopausal. But reaching that 12-month mark doesn’t mean your symptoms suddenly switch off. As ovarian hormone production changes, the effects can show up in your temperature regulation, sleep, mood and vaginal tissues. That’s why Toni starts with your individual experience. Are night sweats waking you repeatedly? Is anxiety affecting your day? Has sex become uncomfortable? Are changes in weight leaving you frustrated? Those details shape the conversation and the plan. We also look beyond immediate symptoms to nutrition, muscle and bone health, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose, alongside your medical care. Toni discusses how she considers dietary changes, lifestyle support and, where appropriate, individual herbal or nutritional prescriptions. Any recommendations need to account for your health history, medications and the evidence for that particular treatment. You deserve time to talk through what’s happening and understand your options. If you’d like support through perimenopause or postmenopause, start with a free discovery call with Toni. Have a chat, ask your questions and go from there.
