How To Thrive In Midlife And Beyond
Key Takeaways
Perimenopause and menopause cause many symptoms beyond just hot flashes, including mood changes, sleep issues, fatigue, and weight gain. These are due to declining estrogen and progesterone.
Lifestyle changes like nutrition, rest, stress management, and exercise can help manage symptoms and support health as we age. Strength training is especially important.
Eating more protein and fiber helps preserve muscle mass, control blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and aid fat loss.
Hormone therapy can provide relief for acute menopausal symptoms.
