Addressing Menopause Fatigue Naturally

Menopause can be frustrating and difficult to manage, which is why many women are turning to nature to discover different ways of reducing fatigue and other symptoms.

Fatigue and Menopause

Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of menopause; up to 80% of women report experiencing significant dips in energy levels. Feeling drained, run down, or listless for days at a time is not unusual. Energy you depend on is just not there, and many women find it hard to follow through on even basic tasks. Though fatigue can be caused by many factors, fluctuating hormonal levels can play a big role.

Managing Fatigue Related to Menopause

There are three primary naturopathic strategies that can be used to address menopause-related fatigue:

1. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT): Our team specializes in BHRT, which uses naturally occurring hormones from plant sources that exactly match the shape and chemical makeup of hormones in the human body. By replacing the hormones that menopause is reducing, patients can attain a healthy internal balance.
2. Alternative medicine and therapies: Your naturopathic health care provider can help you explore a variety of natural herbal supplements that the body generally tolerates well, without troublesome side effects that come with conventional drugs. Your naturopath may also recommend other forms of healing, including acupressure, acupuncture, massage therapy, and so forth.
3. Lifestyle changes: You might be making choices that negatively affect your energy levels without even realizing it. Certain foods in particular can leave you feeling more run down, so it’s important to eat mindfully.

Talking With Your Naturopath

A naturopathic doctor can help you identify the very best strategies for addressing fatigue and other menopause symptoms. Exploring these natural options puts you back in control of your health, which can boost your mood immediately.
