[quote=Anonymous]Have you considered seeing a naturopath who specializes in women's issues? That was a game changer for me. They can also run some tests to make sure you're not deficient in anything--b's, iron, d3 etc as those can affect mood as well. Mine gave me a tincture of Chinese herbs (no idea what they were) but it really helped with the mood swings. I feel like most doctors don't know/care much about women's issues, especially menopausal issues, so it's not worth the wait of getting in.

Yoga, meditation, and powerlifting have all been great for me. Occasional HIIT runs or longer walks/bike rides too, but keep moving, and keep limber. You'll thank yourself later.

Also, google menopause doula. I've been reading about those lately.

There's also a website called Stripes that I learned about from Naomi Watt's instagram page that has useful info. The book Menopause Confidential was very very helpful to me in the early days. There's an instagram page called menopause 101 with Auntie Carol that might give some good tips for managing symptoms as well.

Learn as much as you can--lots of women like myself have been there and are ready and happy to help by sharing what we learned as we navigated the perimenopause minefield.[/quote]
