Are you experiencing heavy, irregular, and frequent periods, anemia, low energy, brain fog, hair loss, and sallow skin? If so, you’re not alone. These symptoms are all too common in women going through perimenopause.
Understanding the Factors Behind Perimenopausal Symptoms.
So, what’s causing all of these issues? Well, there are a few factors at play. First, as you enter perimenopause, your hormone levels begin to decline, which can lead to changes in your menstrual cycle. This can result in heavy, irregular, and frequent periods, as well as the anemia that often comes with them.
Strategies for Improvement: Optimizing Nutrition and Supplements.
But declining hormones aren’t the only factor at play here. Poor nutrition and low levels of important nutrients like iron and Vitamin D can also contribute to these symptoms. And to make matters worse, inflammation, stress, and a disrupted sleep routine can exacerbate these issues.
So, what can you do to start feeling better? Well, the first step is to focus on optimizing your nutrition. This means eating plenty of iron-rich foods like leafy greens, beans, and red meat, as well as foods high in Vitamin C, which helps with iron absorption. And, it’s important to avoid calcium and dairy products when eating iron-rich foods, as these can interfere with optimal iron absorption.
Supplements can also be helpful in maintaining proper nutrient levels. Iron Bisglycinate is a highly absorbable form of iron, and pairing it with Vitamin C can improve absorption even further. Vitamin D supplements can also help maintain healthy levels.
Harnessing the Power of Exercise for Energy and Stress Reduction.
Exercise is another important factor in combating fatigue and exhaustion. Even a short walk or light yoga session can help boost energy levels and reduce stress.
Addressing Underlying Issues for Long-Term Relief.
Finally, it’s important to address any underlying issues that may be contributing to your symptoms. Irregular periods could be caused by fibroids or polyps, and heavy bleeding may require medical intervention.
