Joint pain in menopause
As we navigate through menopause, it’s not uncommon to notice unexpected changes in our bodies. One of the more surprising symptoms for many women is joint pain.
Menopausal Dry Eyes
As menopausal women, we often now talk about how our vaginas become dryer at this time of our lives, but other areas of our bodies can be affected in a similar way such, as our eyes.
Menopausal Weight Gain
For many women and in my own experience a lot of the symptoms associated with perimenopause, and menopause can initially feel like a subtle shift in our overall sense of well being, we just don’t feel like ourselves somehow, but we may not be able to quite identify why!
Menopausal Headaches & Migraines
I first realised that I was approaching the perimenopause when I started to experience migraine headaches. Having never experienced them before it was something of a shock when they started. Looking back, I was fortunate to have only experienced several migraines in total over a period of approximately 12 months.
Unspoken symptoms of menopause
If you are menopausal or not, the chances are you will know someone who is, whether it is your partner, sister, mother, best friend or just the women in the office who is just not themselves these days!
Insulin resistance during the menopause
As women approach the menopause our metabolic health can be negatively influenced by the reduction of oestrogen and fluctuations in the release of adrenaline and thyroxine leading to insulin resistance.
