Hot Flashes

Hot flashes-- "Oh yeah you can't do anything about it.  It's normal for everyone my age to have them."  NOT TRUE.  NOT TRUE at all.  It may be true that that most people have them... but it doesn't make it NORMAL.  Guess what... there are all natural supplements that can help (without the need for hormone replacement therapy which throws your body out of whack anyways)!  I have seen this over and over and over.  Ask my mom.

Yes it is very common for women going through the big, awful, dreaded menopause however it does not have to be that way!  I remember traveling with my mom in the winter time... the windows were rolled down while we were all shivering and yelling for her to roll up the windows.  About 5 minutes into the windows being up... she would roll them back down.  Up, down, up, down.  I don't know how we all didn't catch colds from that or frost bite.  After getting her on a supplement regimen she is hot flash free.  It is not an over night process but it is something that can be done fairly quickly.  Also ask Lori.  She very rarely, if ever, has had a hot flash and she will be proud to tell you why. 

Hot flashes are a way to let you know that your hormone producing glands (thyroid, adrenals, ovaries, pituitary, hypothalamus) are out of sync.  When women go through menopause they rely on the adrenals to make the sex hormones (instead of the ovaries).  Guess what body part has been stressed all your life and now you are asking it to do just one more job... the adrenals! They are the 'stress' gland in the body and are supposed to help you cope and deal with stressors in your life.  However in our daily lives we have one pressure after another after another.  The adrenals have a right to be tired.  This is equivalent to asking your body to keep running and running without a break.  Your body would break down... just like many people's adrenal glands do.  When the body starts to rely on the (tired/sluggish) adrenals to make sex hormones symptoms start to occur. 

The liver also plays a huge role in the process too.  It is the major detox center (aka filter) in your body which is a huge job.  If it is even a little sluggish hormones back up that are supposed to be eliminated and all sorts of crazy things happen... mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, depression, etc. 

Your body is going through a change and anytime you personally go through a change there is always a transition period, right? So why not prepare your body ahead of time before the change occurs.  Or if you happen to be in the full swing of things and have any signs or issues (hot flashes or anything else) let us know.  Please don't be fooled that this is normal.  Let us help you with those 'changes' in life!
