Menopause…it’s a stage of life that all women of a certain age will experience, but there is still so much mystery and confusion surrounding it. Hot flashes and night sweats, unpredictable moods, fluctuations in sex drive — these are all common yet frustrating symptoms that women have to deal with. In this episode of Be HEALTHistic, Dr. Drew Sinatra welcomes special guest co-host, his wife and fellow naturopathic physician, Dr. Briana Sinatra, to tackle this important topic. First, our practicing NDs discusses the uncomfortable symptoms that can impact a woman’s quality of life, and they define the different stages of menopause. Dr. Briana shares her recommendations on managing hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, blood sugar spikes, stress and mood changes — and explains why self-care, a healthy diet, and dressing in layers is vital. Then, the doctors discuss herbal ways you can get support and relief, and debate the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy, the benefit of getting a second opinion and how to find the right practitioner for you. You won’t want to miss this informative episode of Be HEALTHistic, where our two naturopaths shine a light on menopause, it’s symptoms, and the wide spectrum of promising treatment options available for women.
