In this video, nutrition and functional medicine expert Dr. Mindy Pelz discusses ways women can manage their menopause process naturally, by making a series of key lifestyle changes.

Menopause occurs when a woman stops menstruating and is no longer able to get pregnant naturally. Periods usually start to become less frequent over a few months or years before they stop altogether. Sometimes they can stop suddenly.

The menopause is a natural part of ageing that usually occurs between 45 and 55 years of age, as a woman’s oestrogen levels decline.

Menopause symptoms can include:

  • Hot flushes
  • Night sweats
  • Vaginal dryness and discomfort during sex
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Low mood or anxiety
  • Reduced sex drive (libido)
  • Problems with memory and concentration
