"Puberty in Reverse" .
That's what Dr. Ginger Nash, refers to the menopausal transition leading into the menopausal years.
Even as a guy, that statement really drills down what the menopausal stage can be for some.
With anxiety, body composition change, irregular menstruation, and sleep disturbances often presenting as some of the early signs of the menopausal transition, it can be a distressing time for many women.
According to Dr. Nash, only about 10% of women will sail into the menopausal years with no symptoms or major physiologic balances.
She speaks about the factors that make the menopausal transition particularly rocky and some ways of approaching those years that is quite refreshing and opening.
And she shares that going through menopause can be supported with lower force interventions and does not necessarily need to involve bio-identical hormone replacement. However, that option may be appropriate in certain situations.
This episode is more than speaking about Menopause. It's also a view into the mind and motivation of one of the most skilled and balanced Naturopathic Physicians in our profession. Dr. Nash is one of the few Doctors that I have come across in my career that can pull the best of our medicine from a deep, compassionate, individualized, and science based perspective. She shines in not just one area but many domains. So it was a pleasure sharing this time with her and getting to learn more about her process.
