Hormonal imbalances can occur at any age, before during or after menopause. These imbalances vary widely and may be caused by environment, stress, heredity, aging or nutrition. Although we tend to blame these problems on hormonal changes, we often need to explore these other areas as well. Discussing lifestyle along with specific symptoms may help us formulate a treatment plan that will lead to improved health and sense of well-being.
One of the most common complaints for women as they age is weight gain. As our hormones change our adrenal glands struggle to keep up with the changes in our body. They can become “fatigued” and this leads to several other problems such as weight gain, sleeplessness, anxiety and stress. Supplements along with lifestyle changes can help with these bothersome symptoms.
At Coastal Pharmacy & Wellness we work together as a team to treat specific symptoms and help patients find solutions for treatments and lifestyle changes that lead to positive outcomes. We are always available to answer questions and continue to follow our patients and make modifications if necessary.
Happy Fall,
Brenda
