Menopause changes your life... and your health. It can be a tough transition, but we need to shift our perspective on this important time. Menopause is not a disease; it’s a normal stage of life—and it’s a privilege to still be alive. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz, a conventional board-certified OB-GYN who also practices integrative, holistic, and Ayurvedic medicine. We discuss the ways that the stages of menopause change your life for the better, and what you can do to protect your health throughout the transition. As you start to enter perimenopause and menopause, you can make adjustments and build healthy habits to mitigate long-term health issues, including heart disease, which is not discussed enough. The place to start is with hormones, according to Dr. Gilberg-Lenz, and also incorporating botanicals, herbs, and supplements as well. Another big factor that needs to be addressed is lifestyle. You’ll learn about adjustments you should make and why you must make yourself a priority during this time. Because with the right approach, your fifties can be a truly magical decade.
