“Ouch!” to this comment. . .”The death certificate never says ‘Hormone Imbalance due to Menopause.’ It says a degenerative disease. It can take years (for sex hormone imbalance) to become evident, often not noticed till it’s too late.”
Thus are the words of Dr. Diana Schwarzbein, MD, in her three part webinar series titled “Menopause Power.” See http://www.schwarzbeinprinciple.com/pgs/home.html.
Per Dr. Schwarzbein: “You can live without them (the sex hormones), but their absence takes its toll over time. However, if you already have damage or compromise to a major hormone system, or have a degenerative disease of aging, losing the sex hormone system can cause immediate harmful consequences.”
When do you begin to manage menopause? Throughout your lifetime by managing your nutrition and lifestyle habits.
Inadequate lifestyle habits lead to metabolic imbalance. Proper nutrition, avoidance/management of stress, avoidance of environmental/ personal care product toxins, and proper exercise all contribute to healthy metabolism.
In my book, Stop the Needless Suffering, you will find tips and suggestions for each of these categories.
What can you do, starting today, to protect yourself from needless degenerative disease and suffering?
Just pick one or two things, and stick with them for 30 days till they become habit. Your metabolism, body organs, and body cells will be so thankful you did.
