Natural remedies for menopause symptoms — meaning those that don’t involve taking hormone replacement therapy drugs — are safe and can be helpful during this transition phase to decrease symptom severity and duration.

Top foods causing hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms
1) Processed Sugar – Yeast and candida overgrowth in the gut which causes inflammation
2) Processed Soy – Contain estrogens
3) Conventional Meats – Packed with hormones, steroids and antibiotics that affect your hormones causing low sex drive and low energy
4) Packaged Foods – Contain hydrogenated oils and refined flours
5) Artificial Sweeteners – Sucralose, Aspartame and Splenda
6) Gluten – Cause inflammation of gut lining and can lead to autoimmune disease

Top foods to help balance hormones and get rid of menopause symptoms
1) Healthy fats – avocado (high in potassium, magnesium and omega-9 fats)

2) Omega 3 fatty acid – wild-caught salmon and wild-caught fish
3) Grass-Fed beef – full of iron
4) Berries – High in Antioxidants
5) Flaxseeds and Flax Meal – sprouted or chia or hemp (add to a morning smoothie)
6) Coconut Products – balance blood sugar
7) Cruciferous vegetables – broccoli, cabbage, turnips, kale – help to remove phytoestrogens to detox

Supplements for menopause
1) Black Cohosh – http://draxe.com/black-cohosh/
2) Vitex – balance many hormones in body and help female organs
3) Adaptogen Herbs – ginseng, ashwagandha, holy basil

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4iCx5lKpLI
“..Menopause is defined as having no menstrual periods for a year and causes various changes to your body due to reduced production of estrogen and progesterone in your ovaries. The average woman goes through menopause somewhere between the ages of 48-55, but start preparing early since all that you do now can impact how intense the symptoms are and how your body is affected. Outplay and outlast the next chapter of your life by following these 10 quick tips! 1: Focus on your nutrition to help your body keep hormones balanced. Cholesterol is known to spike during the years surrounding your ever approaching menopause therefore eat right by consistently including vegetables and fruit in your diet and ward off recipes and foods high in sodium. 2: Recent studies found that middle aged women who engaged in aerobic exercises four times per week for six months experienced fewer mood swings, reduced night sweats and less irritability compared with those who didn’t. Exercise can be utilized as a relaxation technique during this frazzled time since it’s known to reduce stress chemicals like cortisol and adrenaline. 3: Menopause can be a great stress but it really doesn’t have to be. Find new hobbies, tap into meditation exercises and discover new joys this new phase has to offer. Like…finally not having any more periods?..”
