Menopause is a natural process in our lives.  But the symptoms that each of us experience can range from hot flashes, anxiety, panic, depression, night sweats, itchy crawly skin, and a ton more.

Here are some suggestion I have found really helpful in controlling these symptoms.

• No alcohol, just one drink at night can cause night sweats.  Alcohol is processed by your liver and that is where your hormones do there thing.  By drinking alcohol you add an extra burden to your liver making it harder for your liver to do its job.
• Eat a protein snack before bed, this helps balance blood sugar and reduce the chance of night sweets
• Sugar can also be a problem, diet in general is always the first place to start.  Just get rid of the obvious things like excess sugar and caffeine.  Be more aware of what you eat.
• Exercise, many women report this helps them more than anything
• Women’s Formula by Vita Logics works well and is formulated by Jann McBarron MD
• Remefemon is also another great product that gives good results

Most everyone experiences anxiety and that panic feeling at some time in their life.  This is normal, however if you experience anxiety and panic on a regular basis and its getting the best of you here are some basic guidelines to help you get started feeling better right away.

• Stop all caffeine including chocolate, decaf coffee, soda.  Even if you think your morning cup of coffee is so early in the day how could it bother you later in the day.  Caffeine is processed in your body differently for each person and can stay in your system for hours contributing to your anxiety and panic.
• Eat breakfast, even if you don’t like to eat in the morning you must eat something because if not, your blood sugar can become unstable causing you to feel panic and anxiety
• If you watch television please eliminate anything that makes you feel the least bit uncomfortable, like the news, intense shows and movies.  I like Turner Classic Movies because they are usually soothing and give that more relaxed feeling.
• Lavender essential oil
• Sleepy Time Tea
• Blood Test for thyroid problems (low and high thyroid levels can make you feel panic and anxiety)

Anxiety and panic is a horrible feeling.  The above recommendations are the first place to start.  If you have tried to help your self and are not getting any better, I am always here to help and guide you based upon your specific needs.
