The Hormone-Free Solution to Menopause Relief

What are some hormone-free options for menopause relief? 

Let’s talk about it. 

Not everybody can take hormone replacement therapy when they go through menopause. Hormone-related cancers may preclude taking hormones or you may have undesirable side effects with HRT. 

So what are your hormone-free options?

Support Your Hypothalamus

Well, the number one option that I recommend is supporting your hypothalamus. When you support your hypothalamus nutriceutically, it helps to balance all of your hormones, particularly your adrenal glands which can produce precursor hormones. That helps to minimize menopausal symptoms. 

Nonhormone Medications

There are also nonhormone medications for women who would like to go the pharmaceutical route. These drugs help to mitigate menopausal hot flashes and include anti-seizure medicines and antidepressants. 

They’re also phytoestrogens, which are plant-derived estrogens like flaxseed, soy, and black cohosh that can help relieve symptoms.

Then mind-body techniques can be helpful to mitigate symptoms.

One in particular is a technique that was studied for the relief of hot flashes in menopausal women. A contraction relaxation exercise that is done before bed or in the middle of night if needed. I’ve included a full description of this technique in our Hormone Reboot Training. 

Cooling blankets can be helpful for nocturnal hot flashes and night sweats. 

Regular exercise helps to mitigate menopausal symptoms, particularly hot flashes and mood swings by over 50%.
