Heal Your Body With Dr. Jamie Gilliam 

Menopause, a natural phase of a woman’s aging process, is poorly understood by society and numerous medical professionals. While menopause is a normal part of the aging process for women, we do not have to tolerate its affects on our physical and mental well being. Menopause, characterized by a decline in specific hormones, is not classified as a medical condition, but it can instigate a host of medical issues and mental health challenges.

Perimenopause signifies the initial stage of this transition for women, marked by the gradual reduction in hormone production by the ovaries. This period typically begins a decade or more prior to menopause, bringing with it a spectrum of symptoms and changes that women struggle with. Many women begin experiencing weight gain, low libido, brain fog, constipation, pain intolerance, vaginal dryness, mood swings, depression, anxiety and other symptoms at the onset of perimenopause. When women express their symptoms to their healthcare providers, they often find themselves prescribed antidepressants, advised to increase exercise and reduce their food intake, or simply dismissed with the phrase, “it’s just a natural part of life.”

In this episode on the Heal Your Body Show, Dr. Jamie Gilliam will guide you through the intricacies of menopause, providing insight into its various stages, the importance of accurate testing, the potential health conditions associated with this phase, and the array of treatment options available to support women navigating menopause. From holistic approaches to the benefits of hormone replacement therapy, women have options when navigating this pivotal stage in their lives.
