10 golden rules for a better menopause

To celebrate World Menopause Day (Friday 18th October 2019), I thought it would be a good time to remind you of the 10 top tips (or golden rules as I like to call them) I regularly recommend to menopausal women to help them throughout the menopause - and they’re all really quite simple.

Wonderful recap! Thanks so much 🤗

[@fingerprint5511]

I haven't rested so much since I was a child. I move about one day and the next need to lay in bed all day aching and exhausted. I only wish i could exercise. I lay in bed, turn and pull back out! Eating properly, hydrated on lots of water, meditation ... ! Post menopause.

Hi Have you had your fatigue checked by your doctor. Sometimes other health issues can appear post menopause such as underactive thyroid, vitamin D and B12 deficiency, low iron, diabetes and heart disease and all of these can cause crushing fatigue. Your doctor can test for these just to rule them out. Best Wishes Eileen

Hi Eileen. Are you familiar with anything about pueraria mirifica? (Thai kudzu). What do you think?

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Hess I don’t know much about this herb but from all accounts it does seem to be helpful so worth trying if you want to.

[@kalebremillard7720]

[@jaderose5127]

Thankyou great video. I have a sluggish liver! What do you recommend to improve bile flow and nonalcoholic fatty liver. 🙂✨🌻

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Jade, Dandelion is the herb traditionally used to promote better bile flow. Nonalcoholic fatty liver is best treated by a healthcare practitioner - you can find your nearest nutritional practitioner at www.bant.org.uk, and they will be able to liaise with your doctor.

What's a good diet for menopause? And also joint pain? How can I walk when I have bad nerve joint pain? :(

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Maria I have a blog on the best diet and have also posted a video blog on how to manage joint pain. Please do take a look. You can try armchair exercises until your joints improve. There are lots on KZbin www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/whats-the-best-diet-for-the-menopause/ www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/eileens-blog/2015/12/a-vogels-menopause-mondays-joint-aches-pains/

How v should be care pre menopause and menopause who suffer from thyroid problem

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Shwetha Supporting thyroid health is really important as you approach the menopause. If you are not on any medication then taking a daily kelp supplement can be helpful. If, however, you are on thyroid medication then acupuncture can be effective. Best Wishes Eileen

I find that drinking carrot punch with irish moss really helps my body to balance up.

[@tammystegall5130]

[@eagle4god373]

[@karenlawrence7718]

@@eagle4god373 In Jamaica we use the juice from carrots to make a drink. The ingredients are: Carrot juice 1 tin sea moss or irish moss 1 bottle of Guinness 1 can of Suppligen Almond extract, vanilla and nutmeg to taste. Sweeten with condensed milk.

i have very low energy and feel like I'm going to fall

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Ivy If you feel faint or that you are going to fall regularly it is important to get this checked out by your doctor; there could be a number of reasons for this so you do need a proper diagnosis. Best Wishes Eileen

I can’t drink water as i can’t hold it. I run to the loo 😢

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Helen Maybe try drinking water through a straw, just a few sips at a time to see if that works for you. Best Wishes Eileen

[@swanlake8827]

I have a question that I cannot find an answer for. Please help! I had a complete hysterectomy in 2012...I had a massive tumor and they had to take both ovaries and my uterus. I went through all of the night sweats and hot flashes back when I had the surgery. I am 54 now and I am having all of the same symptoms as I did when I went through surgical related menopause in 2012. Is that even possible? I am having night sweats, hot flashes, and moodiness...by moody I mean crying at the drop of a hat!

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Cynthia There are a number of possibilities: Even after ovaries are removed your body can continue to manufacture small amounts of oestrogen (mainly for the adrenals and digestive tract) and this can start to decrease around the time you would have had your natural menopause. This decrease can be enough to trigger menopause symptoms. Other health issues such as low iron, low thyroid function, low vitamin D and B12 can appear around this age and all, between them, can cause symptoms very similar to menopause ones. It may be a good idea to ask your doctor to test for these just to rule them out.
