It’s world menopause day! Here are our top tips

It’s world menopause day! Here are our top tips to arm you with practical ways to help you manage symptoms and gain back some control. 1. Put yourself first - say no more often, write a long list of all your responsibilities and DELEGATE, don’t be afraid to ask for help. 2. De-stress and activate your body’s rest and digest response to calm the nervous system and reduce the negative effects of excess cortisol. Simple daily stress-relief techniques might include: deep breathing exercises, meditation and gentle exercise 3. Pay attention to what goes into your body - Eat the rainbow (at LEAST 5 a day), oily fish 2x per week for essential omega 3’s, ensure adequate intake
of protein, ensure adequate intake of magnesium, zinc, b12 and vitamin D 4. Move more often - get outdoors in sunlight every day for a short walk, STRENGTH TRAIN to preserve vital muscle mass (aids weight management) and strengthen bone. 5. Improve your sleep habits - inadequate sleep wreaks havoc on your endocrine system and leads to your body relying on stress hormones in order to get through the day! Go to bed at a similar time each night and get up at a similar time each morning, Try to get around 8 hours per night. Avoid electronics before bed as blue light disrupts sleep-inducing hormones for up to 45 mins after you put that phone down! Deep breathe yourself to sleep. Get sunlight on your face as soon as you can when you wake in the morning and ensure your room is dark at night to reset your body’s natural circadian rhythms (wake/sleep cycle.) There’s no quick-fix, no magic pill. But holistic, lifestyle changes can make a huge difference during the rollercoaster ride that is menopause.

We hear the word “self care” thrown about a lo

We hear the word “self care” thrown about a lot nowadays. But what exactly is “self care?” We often look at our female clients - those who are busy juggling a whole lot of plates - bearing the huge mental load of the family household, working stressful jobs, still trying to have some sort of social life - and we see the negative effects of how they have neglected tending to themselves. It’s totally understandable that they end up in this position. Many women are often just surviving - just about keeping their head above water, firefighting the endless daily tasks, responsibilities and mental burden. “Self care” is sometimes referred to as things such as eating well, drinking enough water, getting enough sleep, doing some form of daily exercise and resting when needed. But this is not “self care”. These are BASIC HUMAN NEEDS. These are not just things women should battle to try to accomplish AFTER everything else has been done. After everyone else have been tended to. As if they are, the mental & physical affects this has on a woman begins to affect the WHOLE family. You can’t pour from an empty cup. But we do. And it is often the reason we see so many women, especially those who are mothers, burnt out, suffering from weakened immune systems, anxiety, chronic pain, poor sleep, along with endless other negative physical symptoms. Most of their issues are invisible which makes it harder for people to think to step in and offer a little more help. Add to this, the fact that a lot of their daily work is also invisible. It just gets done. Mental checklists are ticked off without anyone knowing, jobs are completed without anyone seeing. Things “just get done.” Women are especially extremely good at masking their physical and emotional suffering. What self care should be is enjoying a day out out with a friend, saying no, taking a step back and asking or accepting some help, long talks with a confidant. When did self-care become about tending to BASIC HUMAN NEEDS?
