Hormones

Managing hormonal changes during menopause may involve adopting a healthy lifestyle with balanced nutrition, regular exercise, stress reduction techniques, and sleep improvement strategies.

Menopause and perimenopause are characterized by significant hormonal shifts, particularly the decline in oestrogen and progesterone. During perimenopause, the body undergoes fluctuating hormone levels, which can lead to a wide range of symptoms. As oestrogen levels decrease during menopause, progesterone levels also drop, leading to changes in the menstrual cycle, metabolism, and overall well-being. These hormonal fluctuations can affect many aspects of physical and emotional health, including mood, sleep, and cognitive function.
