Joann M asked:
Hi, I am 44 recently had a D&C for polp removal and irregular periods. I have gained around 30lbs in the past year, along with hot flashes, and mind farts. I am wondering what the most natural thing is to help with the weight gain and inablility to remember things or multi task (brain farts). My OB tells me that this is life at 44 I think it is time for a new OB but was wondering if I should check with an Endocronologist. I am active and am not happy with being tired, and all the rest of the fun stuff going on with my body. I know I am not alone and would like to here from others who have found help. I am not fond of meds though at this point- not so opposed.
Thanks
My wife had just such a problem
.
Only when she started to gain weight she went on one of those
.
Ta Death Diets
.
Eat only pictures of food I called it
.
What I finally got her and I to do together (I along for support)
Was get a pair of those pedometers that you ware when you walk
.
Yelp the old take a walk thing
Only this time it kept us married and happy to boot
.
We started to take short one mile walks keeping records and the dogs were with us
.
And before long she became an addict to walking and walking all over the neighbor hood
.
Even in last months February snow in that hit the Ohio valley
.
Yell even in the snow
.
And this is three years after she started going threw the kill your husband time of life
.
A little joke there nothing ta call the police about
.
So maybe ya could do the same
.
Get a pet just maybe not have to
And get a thing to put on your waist to tell you how far you have walked
.
And try it
.
It worked for my wife
.
You might talk to your doctor about these possible natural solutions…
Natural Progesterone Cream
Natural progesterone is a hormone used in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. The purpose is to balance hormone levels. The advantage of progesterone is it’s chemically equivalent to the progesterone produced by the body.
Exercise
Women who exercise during menopause see a decline in some of their symptoms more often than women that don’t exercise.
Herbal remedies
Natural herbs such as black cohosh and dong quai have been known to help relieve menopause symptoms.
During menopause, woman commonly gain weight due to the increased estrogen levels which leads to redistributing fat around the stomach and other areas. Metabolism also slows down due to loss of muscle mass and this will contribute to weight gain.
