Menopause Treatment Options: Understanding Your Choices

The Biggest Mistake Women Make

Trying to treat a symptom without understanding the cause.

  • Weight gain may be driven by poor sleep.
  • Brain fog may be linked to sleep disruption.
  • Anxiety may be worsened by hormonal fluctuations and fatigue.
  • Low libido may be influenced by pain, dryness or poor sleep.
  • Hot flushes may be the symptom driving many other problems.

The most effective treatment plans usually focus on the whole picture rather than a single symptom.

Treatment Is Not One Size Fits All

Hot flushes, poor sleep and an intact uterus.

Weight gain, fatigue and insulin resistance.

The focus may be metabolic health, sleep quality and body composition.
