The Age of Confusion: Perimenopause and Menopause

  

The Age of Confusion? Perimenopause & Menopause

Finally, the information and support you need to sort through the menopause propaganda...

We thought maturity might be a time of wisdom and freedom from the burdens of the demands of our reproductive systems.  Instead our bodies experience the depletion of life-giving hormones, calling us to attend to our well being with an urgency we may have never felt before. Our wisdom is tested by the flood of advertisements, warnings, tests and treatments recommended for perimenopausal and menopausal women.

Declining sexual hormone production by the ovaries -- which usually begins in women in their mid-30s -- is a serious business. Most women experience irregular periods by their late 40s (perimenopause) and stop having periods by their early 50s (menopause). This change of life can affect our immune, cardiovascular and digestive systems, blood vessels, brains, vaginas, bones, breasts, skin and urinary tracts. Meanwhile, it can play havoc with our sense of well being with a variety of symptoms -- hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia and discomfort during sexual intercourse.

Mature women are a lucrative target market, so we are inundated with products promising to help us fight aging and live healthier lives. Yet some of these same products come with warnings of serious health risks such as cancer, heart attacks and stroke. We need help to sort through the propaganda and find sound, holistic ways to manage and maintain our health.
