Perimenopause & Menopause
For clients receiving homeopathic support for perimenopause or menopause, below are some additional strategies that can be very supportive and help with the balancing of hormones during this stage of life:
Stress can increase cortisol levels, which in turn may reduce the body’s ability to make progesterone. This happens because the body uses pregnenolone (a hormone precursor) to make more cortisol, leaving less available for progesterone production. Low progesterone can worsen common perimenopause symptoms like mood swings, anxiety, and sleep issues.
Clean 15 and Dirty dozen
The Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen are two lists published annually by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) to help consumers make informed choices about produce and pesticide exposure.
The Dirty Dozen refers to the 12 types of fruits and vegetables that tend to have the highest levels of pesticide residues when grown conventionally. These include popular foods like strawberries, spinach, apples, and grapes. For these items, buying organic is often recommended when possible to reduce pesticide intake.
Low-Tox Living
In today’s world, we are surrounded by chemicals, many of which have been linked to hormonal imbalances, respiratory issues, allergies, and even long-term health concerns such as endocrine disruption and cancer. For this reason, reducing your exposure to chemicals and adopting a "low-tox" lifestyle is an important step towards reducing toxicity, inflammation and improving overall well-being and long-term health.
