Some things that we may address include:

• Reducing Hot Flashes: Hot flashes occur when there’s a temperature regulation imbalance in the brain. Studies suggest that around 70% of women experience hot flashes during perimenopause. The main reason behind hot flashes during perimenopause is the fluctuation of estrogen levels in the body. Using several different therapeutic options we can work together to help balance your hormones and help minimize the frequency and severity of hot flashes.
• Balance Mood and stress: Around 20-30% of women report mood swings during perimenopause. Estrogen modulates brain activity and neurotransmitter function, which affects mood, memory, and attention. When estrogen levels are low, women may experience dysregulated mood, irritability, depression, and heightened stress responses. We can discuss strategies that are most suited to your individual needs in addition to nutritional, specific herbs and supplements to help you feel more like yourself.
• Improve sleep:  Sleep disturbances are a common symptom of perimenopause, and they can wreak havoc on your daily life, making you feel tired, moody, and unproductive. Aside from establishing a wind down routine and good sleep hygiene practices, we can find a herbal and/or supplement protocol that works just for you. 
• Focus on new Nutritional Needs: One of the best ways to deal with perimenopause is to take care of your body from the inside out. Eating a healthy and balanced diet full of nutrient-rich foods can help support your hormonal system and ease some of the symptoms.
• Establish a safe exercise routine: Regular exercise is a fantastic way to keep your hormones in balance and ward off some of the common perimenopausal symptoms, such as fatigue, weight gain, and mood swings.
