A Hormones 101 talk - Naturopath Aranka Jones
From hot flashes to insomnia, heavy periods to vaginal dryness, menopause isn’t exactly a walk in the park! Your metabolism and libido are going off the rails and you’re suddenly worried about brittle bones, blood pressure and heart attacks. One minute you’re cruising through your 40’s, your career on fire, kids almost off to college and the next minute YOU’RE on fire as you frantically Dr. Google your symptoms at 3am during yet another sweaty, sleepless night.
You’ve heard conflicting opinions about menopausal hormone therapy. You worry about the safety and side effects of estrogen but herbal remedies just aren’t cutting it. You’re tempted to fork out a small fortune for a fancy hormone test your best friend’s neighbour did but worry you’re about to be swindled. One minute calcium is good for you, the next it’s dangerous. Everyone is going keto or plant based but you love carbs and meat. To top it all off Gwyneth Paltrow wants you to steam your vagina.
If any of this sounds familiar then you won't want to miss this talk!
