Regular doctors arent trained in real Hormones for perimenopausal and menopausal women.They are also risk adverse to even testing your blood levels because that might mean they may have to treat you with hormones. AND THEY HAVE A HUGE HOSTILITY ;EVEN IF THEY DONT SHOW IT; FOR PROGESTERONE, TESTOSTERONE, and even other bioidentical hormones like DHEA, Nandrolone, and pregnenolone. Bare minimum, most women will need progesterone and testosterone. You need to go to hormone clinic like DEFY MEDICAL or ELEVATE. They can help but they dont take insurancd
Thank you so much.....I used to be very good at fasting but with the menopause it just makes me feel ill.....I have followed what u say about eating regularly and drinking loads of water makes such a difference I feel so much better and don't berate myself for not fasting....its not keto
Gosh I’m so blessed to find your channel. You’re amazing. I love the way you talk, how you explain things, you’re so calm and friendly and gentle. Others who talk on this subject, I find so aggressive and they can even give anxiety with how hard they talk ahaha a Thanks a million for your amazing channel. More power and love and strength to you ❤❤❤
Hi MissTia Unfortunately, our body does need more rest to cope with all the changes going on so if you can get extra sleep that's great! Best Wishes Eileen
Thank you, great advice ..I take all of those supplements, although I must increase my water intake. I drink 1 coffee & a calming blend of herbal tea most of the day. Remember that breathwork can also help with so many symptoms :)
Helpful reminders. I find it a double whammy when you have all these helpful tips to help with fatigue but brain fog is a symptom so remembering it all is daunting. I guess I need to write it down and simplify a way to get all those vitamins and minerals.
Thank you for all your work, your channel helps me a great deal. All this talk of eating and eating frequently, I have the opposite problem. I find my appetite goes away for two or three days at a time each month. I struggle to get food in! I drink water and add lemon juice to it. I'll drink plenty of herbal teas, but the food, I just can't force it down sometimes (my anxiety levels will be much higher during that time too, and I'll be lucky to be able to get even six hours of sleep the night before) hence the camomile tea). Have you ever heard of this before, or anyone else here ever experienced that too?
Hi Some people do find that they lose their appetite when stressed or anxious and if it's just for a few days then there is no reason to worry. Just make sure that you are still drinking enough water to avoid dehydration as this will only make anxiety worse! Great to hear that you are finding our channel helpful, thank you! Best Wishes Eileen
@@AvogelCoUk excellent! Thank you SO much ❤️. I appreciate all of your advice more than words could say. All the very best to you, your family, and your team. ❤️
Thank you for addressing this topic ...how many symptoms does the menopause has? Am just blown away every week when a new vlog comes out as i go through the symptoms mention ....knowledge is power and i embrace my experience now knowing it will be ok...this too shall pass....thanks Eileen for another outstanding vlog👏👏👏👏
You're welcome Island Girl. Unfortunately, there are a lot of symptoms that can appear in the perimenopause/menopause, very often these can just be weak areas of your general health that 'give' under the pressure of the changing hormones! Best Wishes Eileen
Along with menopausal symptoms I have a host of other symptoms for which there is no explanation. i can only think of adrenal fatigue for my strange symptoms. Adrenal kealth is huge during menopause, anyone has adrenal symptoms going into menopause, literally bedridden :(
You're absolutely right, adrenal fatigue can play a huge part in menopause symptoms. Acupuncture can often be really helpful for this so worth looking into. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi BecksBitOfBlue Joint/muscle aches and pains are really common at this time; I have posted a video blog on this and what you can do to help yourself so please do take a look. www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/videos/joint-aches-and-pains/ Best Wishes Eileen
I’m really struggling and I’m sorry that I probably sound like I’m feeling sorry for myself, but this is really hard. I sleep 7-8 hours a night. I exercise 6-7 times a day. I eat relatively healthy but when that tiredness kicks in, I tend to grab whatever I can to fight not falling asleep. I’ve been getting my period every 2 weeks, for about 6 months now. Before it was every 3 weeks for about a year. Urgh. I also feel incredibly depressed… more than ever. Bene taking psychotropics for 20+ years, but jeez now, with this perimenopause, the low moods are worse. I just wanted to put it out there. Tell someone. Thanks for the video. I’ve been worried. Thought I had some serious illness l, but I guess it’s the hormones doing it’s thing.
Sorry to hear you have been feeling like this! Just to clarify, do you exercise 6-7 times a day or week? As this much daily exercising will definitely contribute to fatigue. Are you taking any iron supplement? I would suggest a gentle one like Fluorodix as you may be anaemic due to the extra bleeding. Might be worth getting your bloods done with the doctor to check iron levels too in case. If you are feeling very depressed I would also suggest talking to a professional who may be able to help as well. Glad the video could help in some way. Have you tried our Hyperiforce tablets? They are just for low mood, not severe depression but might be worth a try anyway! If you ever need more help you can email me as well on eileen.durward@avogel.co.uk www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/st-johns-wort-hyperiforce/
I’m 55 going thru menopause. 1 year ago I started feeling like my vulvar area travels thru the rectal area and the bottom of my feet feel like am on fire. DO YOU BY CHANCE KNOW WHAT COULD BE GOING ON? PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE MY WHOLE LIFE HAS CHANGED FOR THE WORSE.
Hi Ilaria There could be a number of reasons for this such as a prolapse, vaginal atrophy or even a trapped nerve in the spine. Each of these situations would require completely different treatments so it is really important to get a proper diagnosis from your doctor first. Without knowing the underlying cause, recommending something appropriate would be very difficult, sorry. Once you know the reason, and you still wish to treat it naturally, then please do get back in touch and I can see if we can be of help. Best Wishes Eileen
Where can I get those supplements? Your suggestion for fatigue I'm 42 and I must be going through perimenopause cuz I'm constantly exhausted and fatigued and that's my only symptom
Take the dutch complete test and look for a functional doctor to help you interpret the results and customize diet, workout and supplement regime. Regular doctors don't help. You are looking at about 3k of expense but you get your life back.
Hi Luna A far more regular check may be needed on blood sugar levels during menopause, as hormonal fluctuations may cause changes to endocrine function that change medication requirements. Best Wishes Eileen
Yes various forms of birth control can contribute to fatigue and other symptoms. It is best to talk to your doctor about side effects of medications including hormonal birth control if you are experiencing them.
