"My Menopause Story"

Menopause - Symptoms - Nutritional - Supplements - Information - Womens Health - Natural Products

In many ways entering into Menopause took me by surprise. Like many women in our “Baby Boomer” generation I waited until my late 30’s to have a child, so I was so caught up in the joys of motherhood, it never occurred to me that Menopause was just around the corner. As a matter of fact, I think that having given birth at age 37 for the first time actually set me up for moving into Menopause earlier than would have been the case had I had children earlier in life. Who knew?

I had always had a few days of PMS symptoms before my period: mood swings, fatigue, bloating, but I began to notice that after the birth of my son PMS could last as long as two weeks. Not a “good” thing! And very soon PMS also included night sweats and hot flashes, so I did some research and realized that I was having Peri Menopause symptoms.

Then reality began to hit... I was in Menopause in my early 40’s! I wasn’t afraid of Menopause itself as much as I was very concerned about how it was going to affect my quality of life and ability to be a good mother. I was concerned because I remembered how difficult Menopause was for my mother. She had hot flashes and mood swings for what seemed like forever, and I did not want that to be my experience. I was having so much fun living a second childhood being with my son and I had so much more life to live to the full.

One reason my mother suffered with Menopause is because she refused to take HRT, hormone replacement therapy. She did not believe in it, but she did not know that there were natural products, herbs and vitamins, that she could use to help alleviate her symptoms.

Like my mother, I had a gut feeling that taking hormone replacement therapy was not how I wanted to manage my Menopause. I had always used natural products, vitamins and herbs, to keep me in good health and now entering Menopause I started to do my research on what natural products I could use to get me through as easily as possible.

Now I am in Post Menopause. I have arrived here in good health having managed my Menopause symptoms with natural products, and I decided to share what I have learned with other women, and that is why I have created this website.

I hope you find the information and product suggestions on the pages here useful, so you too can enjoy a Healthy Menopause!
