Menopause
Menopause changes everything. You don’t look the same. You don’t feel the same. You begin aging. And lose your vitality. All because your hormones bottom out in menopause. It can be really hard on your life, your relationships, and your health. You may not be aging as gracefully as you’d like. Your memory is shot. Your sex drive is gone. You can’t sleep. You’re having hot flashes and what’s up with the midline weight gain? Menopause totally disrupts your hypothalamus. And it’s your hypothalamus which controls your hormones, your moods, your memory, your sex drive, even your rate of aging. Supporting your hypothalamus with Genesis Gold can make a huge difference in being able to transition through menopause gracefully. Genesis Gold helps by balancing out your adrenals which help to support sex steroid hormone production, so that you don’t miss your ovarian hormones quite so much.
