why early perimenopause is the best time for a hormonal reset
If you’re a woman in your late 30s or early 40s you may have noticed that your hormonal cycle is becoming more unpredictable. Perhaps your PMS is getting a bit worse or your periods are not quite as regular as they were. Maybe things have not been quite right since you had children, or you may have come off the pill and your cycles have not settled down as you expected. These could be the first signs of early perimenopause.
what is perimenopause
Menopause is the time when your periods stop and usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. Perimenopause is the transition stage before this, during which 80% to 90% of women experience new and uncomfortable symptoms, such as irregular cycles, hot flushes, anxiety and insomnia. Perimenopause typically lasts from 4 to 10 years before menopause, but people will frequently encounter some symptoms even earlier than that.
This is the perfect time to think about a natural reset for your hormones
Seeking help and addressing these symptoms early, before full perimenopause sets in, means there are fewer complications to deal with. Small problems can be solved before they become larger problems. Natural support enables any underlying issues to be uncovered and resolved, making future health more sustainable. Restoring balance at this stage allows for many more years of stable cycles and a smoother transition to menopause.
How homeopathy and health coaching can help
Homeopathy can help to support your hormonal cycle naturally. Matching homeopathic remedies to your individual symptoms can restore balance to your whole system, remove any blockages, and get everything flowing again.
What you eat can also make a massive difference to your hormones in the short and long term. And knowing the right kind of exercise to do for your stage of life is key too.
self care for early perimenopause
Eat a balanced, whole food diet, minimising sugar and alcohol, which are hormone disrupters.
Prioritise sleep with a calming evening routine and a cool, dark room.
Exercise in moderation, especially in the few days before your period.
Use natural skincare and household products to avoid xenoestrogens, which disturb your hormone balance.
Take steps to reduce your stress levels, whether that’s through ‘me time’, meditation, deep breathing or yoga.
