Speaker 1: I'm a calculator, right, I want to calculate something here.
Speaker 1: I've tied about three three zero equals all right. There's
Speaker 1: a club with more than seventy five million members in
Speaker 1: the United States alone, with six thousand more joining every day.
Speaker 1: That's twenty three percent of our population. What unites them?
Speaker 1: We're sudden heat waves and mysterious moodshifts. This is the
Speaker 1: menopause should transition spanning perimenopause and postmenopause, a phase nearly
Speaker 1: every woman experiences in her forties or fifties. Menopause marks
Speaker 1: the permanent end of menstrual cycles in the clause of
Speaker 1: a woman's reproductive years. It's a natural part of aging.
Speaker 1: About eighty percent of women undergoing menopause experience unpleasant symptoms,
Speaker 1: and for many of these symptoms are severe, yet they
Speaker 1: can be managed. So what happens in your body? At
Speaker 1: births over a million of variant follicles. The follicles decreases,
Speaker 1: women age, progesterone levels drop, Estrogen levels fluctuate and eventually drop.
Speaker 1: The pituitary gland that releases more follicle stimulating hormone and
Speaker 1: lutinizing hormone, and the ovaries don't respond. Function declines, periods
Speaker 1: become irregular, and then stop. Menopause occurs after twelve consecutive
Speaker 1: months without a menstrual period, typically between the ages of
Speaker 1: forty five and fifty five, and it goes across three stages.
Speaker 1: Number one perimenopause transition period before menopause, typically lasting two
Speaker 1: to ten years, during which estrogen, the hormone that regulates
Speaker 1: the menstrual cycle, and progesterone, the hormone that prepares the
Speaker 1: uters for pregnancy and helps regulate menstruation. The levels fluctuate.
Speaker 1: Stage two menopause. Symptoms associated with menopause fall into several categories.
Speaker 1: Vasomotor symptoms i e. Hot fly seventy five to eighty
Speaker 1: percent of women. Hot flashes typically last from thirty seconds
Speaker 1: to ten minutes and can occur several times an hour
Speaker 1: or just a few times a week. Night sweats hot
Speaker 1: flashes that happen at night and can interfere with sleep.
Speaker 1: Heart palpitations. Hormonal fluctuations can increase heart rate way up
Speaker 1: to sixteen beats per minute. Migraines, genito urinary symptoms fifty
Speaker 1: to seventy five percent of women. Vaginal dryness, increase urination,
Speaker 1: urinary in continence, muscular skeletal symptoms more than seventy percent
Speaker 1: of women. Lower estrogen can lead to bone loss, osteoporosis,
Speaker 1: joint pain, stiffness, frozen shoulder, loss of lean muscle mass,
Speaker 1: increasing the risk of sarcopenia, reduced bone density, increasing the
Speaker 1: risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Psychological and sleep symptoms seventy
Speaker 1: percent of women irritability, anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating sleep, other symptoms, fatigue,
Speaker 1: cognitive changes, changes in sexual functioning, body composition changes reduce
Speaker 1: metabolism from declining hormones increase body fat, thinner and drier
Speaker 1: skin breast tenderness. Stage three post menopause begins the day
Speaker 1: after a woman's final menstrual period and lasts for the
Speaker 1: rest of her life. During this stage, menopausal symptoms often
Speaker 1: ease or stop, but some women continue to experience them.
Speaker 1: So what causes menopause? Women are bored with more than
Speaker 1: one million of variant follicules, each housing an immature egg.
Speaker 1: Over time, follicules are naturally lost or used during ovulation.
Speaker 1: As women in age of varied cells produce less estrogen
Speaker 1: and other hormones such as inhibin B, which helps to
Speaker 1: regulate communication between the brain and the ovaries. Menopause occurs
Speaker 1: when a variant follicle reserves are depleted. Menopause that occurs
Speaker 1: between the ages of forty and fifties, called early menopause,
Speaker 1: happens naturally in about five percent of women. So some
Speaker 1: of the reasons intogrine disrupting chemicals such as bisphenol A
Speaker 1: or BPA. Nutritional deficiencies in quite inadequate intake of key
Speaker 1: nutrients can make it difficult. Stress of varied reserve depletion
Speaker 1: the number of remaining eggs naturally declined with age. Accelerated
Speaker 1: depletion due to genetics, autoimmune or chemotherapy, or severe environmental
Speaker 1: or nutritional factors can reduce estrogen production and lead to
Speaker 1: earlier menopause. Uters removal, certain medical conditions such as thyroid
Speaker 1: disorder's room toward arthritis, medications, certain cancer treatments, smoking, family history.
Speaker 1: For most women, menopause is recognized through changes in their
Speaker 1: menstrual cycle and symptoms alone without formal testing. However, a
Speaker 1: clinical diagnosis may be needed for women with unclear mental patterns,
Speaker 1: such as those under forty five, those of added hysterectomy,
Speaker 1: or those with unusual symptoms. Additional testing hormone testing, making
Speaker 1: sure we check FSHST, dione, lh A, pelvit exam, bone
Speaker 1: density tests. What are the treatments? Number One Hormone therapy HRT,
Speaker 1: considered the most effective treatment, replenishes estrogen for women of
Speaker 1: the uterus. Progesterone helps to protect against uterine cancer. Systemic
Speaker 1: hormone therapy pills, patches, vaginal rings, lo dose vaginal products
Speaker 1: such as creams, tablets, capsules, and rings. Several hormone therapies
Speaker 1: and products are currently available, including lo dose birth control pills,
Speaker 1: biodentical hormones, pharmaceutical biodentical hormone products, custom made biodentical hormones, pellets,
Speaker 1: et cetera, hormonal supplements. DHA is an over the counter
Speaker 1: or adrenal steroid hormone that's converted by the body into
Speaker 1: estrogen and androgens. Some non hormonal prescription medication Gabopittan and
Speaker 1: the anti seizure med that can read these side flasses,
Speaker 1: particularly night sweats, and improves sleep when taken at bedtime.
Speaker 1: Selective estrogen receptor modulators these are the ones that mimic
Speaker 1: estrogen and specific tissues. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, the antidepressants
Speaker 1: serotonin neuropinephrine reuptake inhibitors. Clinical hypnosis has worked something called
Speaker 1: a stellate ganglion block. This non hormonal procedure involves injecting
Speaker 1: the local anesthetic near the stellate gangly and a cluster
Speaker 1: of nerves in the neck. Herbal medicines, and this is
Speaker 1: where I want to talk to this for a minute,
Speaker 1: because there is something called rhubarb that was put together
Speaker 1: in a prep called Mennow flash, which has been highly affected.
Speaker 1: Black cohas has worked. Saint John's wort in ginsing, acupunctures work,
Speaker 1: biofeedback has worked, diet has worked. Making sure you're consuming
Speaker 1: phytoestrogen rich foods, plant confines that mimic estrogen, soybeans, ligons,
Speaker 1: fla seed, whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables, calcium rich foods,
Speaker 1: protein and collagen rich foods, dietary supplements such as eating primrose, oil, berberine,
Speaker 1: mockar root, exercise and relaxation other lifstown modifications. Avoid triggers,
Speaker 1: use cooling strategies like fans and air conditionings, quit smoking,
Speaker 1: maintain a healthy weight, stay hydrated, and make sure your
Speaker 1: mindset is correct. What are some of the complications of menopause?
Speaker 1: Metabolic syndrome, higher risk of metabolic syndrome, coleting, abdominal fat,
Speaker 1: high blood pressure, and in some resistance, cardiovascar disease. Menopause
Speaker 1: can accelerate changes in cardiovascar risk factors, bone health. Declining
Speaker 1: estrogen levels lead to reduced bone mineral density, cognitive changes.
Speaker 1: Some women may experience temporary changes and cognitive functioning. AH
Speaker 1: you need help, give a call seven two seven nine,
Speaker 1: one six four. I'm going to give you a little
Speaker 1: thing on neurotransmitter testings because this is also a way
Speaker 1: to get your hormones checked. Hi, folks, I want to
Speaker 1: talk to you just for a minute about neural transmitter testing,
Speaker 1: possibly something you haven't really heard us. We've been doing
Speaker 1: it for about the last ten years using a facility
Speaker 1: called Senesco which is in Ashville, North Carolina, with the
Speaker 1: dawn of all the new DNA testings that you have
Speaker 1: seen looking back in generations, trying to find out what
Speaker 1: your roots are, what your nationality truly is that new
Speaker 1: technology has allowed labs now to take a simple urine
Speaker 1: sample and get an estimate or a good guestimate of
Speaker 1: what your neurotransmitters are. Why is that important? Because our
Speaker 1: brain communicates with a body utilizing neurotransmitters. They are those
Speaker 1: that we know, such as serotonin. For those that are
Speaker 1: clinically depressed or having difficulties that are taking a drug
Speaker 1: like lexapro or prozac, they're making the assumption there the
Speaker 1: doctor is that your low one serotonin, But do we
Speaker 1: truly know what your levels are? There's over sixteen different
Speaker 1: tests that can be run also do sex hormones. Can
Speaker 1: also do cortisol levels which take a look at your
Speaker 1: wake sleep cycles. All that's available to you. All you
Speaker 1: have to do is pick up the phone and call.
Speaker 2: Set up a time.
Speaker 1: We'll discuss what is needed for you or your family
Speaker 1: member or a child that might be fighting some things
Speaker 1: like ad D and set up a time where you
Speaker 1: can have this testing done from home. Just give us
Speaker 1: a call eight eight eight two three one five three
Speaker 1: two five eight eight eight two three one five three
Speaker 1: two five and take advantage of neurotransmitter testing. Now I
Speaker 1: have to re record that put in the correct phone
Speaker 1: number seven two seven nine one six four two one five.
Speaker 1: Have a great folks, God blofe
