Here we are in part 4 of the menopause series:
š„LETHARGY!š„
šš¼ If you've missed my previous posts about menopause, you can check them out by searching self care, or programs. This week we discuss lethargy and menopause.
Let me tell you...it's a real thing. As estrogen and progesterone take a nose dive, cortisol increases and affects testosterone which is ENERGY! So many things are happening at once, it's hard to discern what to fix first.
šš¼ Some really quick and easy fixes:
1) Clean up your diet! Eliminate or at least reduce caffeine, grains, sugar and DAIRY.
2) Increase your water intake: drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of pure water!
3) Dial in your sleep. Get a sleep routine and stick to it for more that 1 week.
4) Listen to your body--if it says rest...REST!
5) Reduce your stress in every way you possibly can.
š¤ If you still find that these quick fixes aren't doing the trick--then it's time to supplement your nutritional needs. Here are some of the heavy hitters:
Magnesium
Fish oil
Vit. C
Curcumrx
Multi vit for women over 40
Vit. D
B12
