Menopause: Hormonal Changes + How Our Team Works Together

Menopause marks a significant period of change in a women’s life. It occurs when our body experiences hormonal changes, eventually leading to the end of getting your menstrual period. One woman's menopause experience can be very different from another, and the variability seen between women shows how differently hormones can affect our bodies. Our team of Naturopathic Doctors, acupuncturists, Counsellors, and Nutrition Consultants can help improve the quality of life of women undergoing this transition. 

One of the greatest ways our team at EastND can help with this change is by providing information.

M Y T H: Menopause occurs over a short period and is indicated by hot flashes and the end of your period.

F A C T: Many other symptoms are associated with menopause that could be affecting your health, and the time our bodies are in menopause is a lot longer than many know.

Perimenopause is a time before the complete loss of a menstrual period, and comes with a lot of hormone fluctuations. Perimenopause can last from 2-8 years and can affect women’s health in a lot of ways. Here are some examples of symptoms that could be related to these hormonal changes:

• Changes in mood, feeling irritable, anxious or depressed.
• Feeling low energy and fatigued
• Insomnia or changes to sleep
• Memory or concentration problems
• Weight gain
• Hot flashes
• Irregular cycle
• Vaginal changes

HOW WE HELP: Our teams in Moncton and Charlottetown see a lot of women'd health concerns, such as these hormonal changes, and they work together to help provide the best possible care for all of our clients. One thing that allows for this and is unique to EASTND is our ability to share clients. Since our team is so diverse, it not only allows flexibility for clients but allows them to get the right expertise from the right person when needed. This can look like our Naturopathic Doctors and Acupuncturists collaborating on acupuncture treatments, or often referrals between our team to a person who is more focused on one condition. This way, there is a second set of eyes and nothing gets missed, and we can offer you our best care!
