As menopause arrives, when lifestyle changes are not made to re-balance
the internal environment, then symptoms become worse. This is when
women run to get medications and supplements. But
these are just a ‘band-aid’.
They don’t get to the heart of the cellular health of the body. The result is a
well evidenced changing health profile for women in mid-life.
▶ Cholesterol and blood pressure increase in mid-life (50-65 years)
▶ Mood swings, anxiety and depression increase
▶ Extra oestrogen is stored in fat cells, so harmful belly-fat weight goes up
▶ Some thinner women lose weight, increasing their risk of osteoporosis.
