There are 34 acknowledged signs and symptoms which is why it is so difficult for GP’s to diagnose or alternatively they get misdiagnosed.
The chances are, if you are over 40 and experiencing a combination of any of these symptoms you are in peri-menopause.
Let us explore Adaptogens and how they can support us through all seasons of life…
Adaptogens are non-toxic herbs, roots, and fungi used therapeutically to restore the body’s natural equilibrium and enhance the body’s resistance to stress.
Cortisol is released by the body in response to stress. Cortisol is frequently responsible for weight gain, particularly in the abdomen. Cortisol will be released by your body before progesterone. Low progesterone will result in the following symptoms:
Confusion
Low libido
Sweaty palms
Anxiety/depressed mood/depression
In addition to the regular stressors in our lives, such as organising a home and juggling job and family responsibilities, peri-menopause appears!
Adaptogens function at the molecular level. They are responsible for balancing the hypothalamic, pituitary, and adrenal glands.
They reduce stress and fatigue while improving attention and mental capacity.
The following effects are observed in the body:
Neuroprotective elements
Nerve stimulants
Anti-fatigue
Anti-depressive
Adaptogens must meet four criteria: they must not add stress to the body, they must have positive effects, they must not cause side effects, and they must support the entire body.
Adaptogens have been used to support health and well-being for centuries.
These herbs are an excellent choice to manage hormonal related symptoms as the effects are gentle and without side effects.
