Health and wellness have always been a priority for me. Around my mid-40s, I began to notice changes in my body and mind. I had always been a person that was cold (even in the summer months). Suddenly, I was experiencing moments of heat so intense that I had to strip off layers to cool down. It was as if I was heating up from the inside out! When I washed my hair, it seemed like chunks were falling out. My skin was dry, but I was breaking out in cystic acne just as I did as a teenager. My anxiety felt unmanageable some days, and I had gained some weight, even though I exercise almost daily and eat well. On top of all of that, the shift in hormones made it uncomfortable to be intimate with my husband. Everything felt different about me, and not in a good way.
Does any of this sound familiar?
I knew that I was in perimenopause but wasn't sure what to do to alleviate my symptoms. I began doing extensive research. I read whatever reputable sources I could get my hands on. How was I able to successfully navigate my symptoms and find some relief?
From my findings, I changed my workouts, cooked nutritious food, and drank less (I no longer drink at all). I incorporated a sleeping routine. I started taking natural supplements. I made appointments with my therapist and OBGYN and got certified in Wellness Coaching, emphasizing this stage of life. I had a lot of success and feel better now than I did in my 30s!
Thus, the development of this 4 part workshop. If you are living with annoying peri/menopausal symptoms and want to get your mind and body back into some balance, I would like to help you.
