The Secret to Moving Smoothly through Menopause

September 23, 2012 · 0 comments

Want to know the #1 secret to moving through menopause smoothly and enjoyably?

Stop stressing out!

Here’s the deal:

Up until you enter menopause your ovaries make the majority of the estrogen, progesterone and testosterone your body needs to stay juicy, vital, intimate and spunky.  These sex hormones do a lot of other important things as well, like helping your mind stay sharp and focused and your moods uplifted and balanced.

As you approach menopause your ovaries slow down production of these sex hormones until at menopause they finally no longer produce them at all.

And as this happens the responsibility of producing your sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone) fall on your adrenal glands. Your adrenals are your stress hormones.

So, as the ovaries shut down, the adrenals need to pick up in their place.

If your adrenals are fried because they have been overly fatigued due to chronic stress (both chronic physical stress and/or chronic emotional stress) this causes a difficult transition into menopause.

Yup.  Those adorable little plums on top of your kidneys, the adrenal glands, now not only have to produce your stress hormones but your sex hormones…and if they aren’t plump and healthy- entering menopause is no cake walk.

So regardless of where you are on your sex hormone journey- pre-menopausal, peri-menopausal or menopausal- paying attention and nourishing your adrenals is the very best thing you can do to help these natural transitions.
