9. Symptoms of Estrogen Decline Hot flashes Vaginal dryness Changes in skin tone Depression Poor concentration and memory Irregular periods Hair loss and thinning Pain and inflammation Weight gain Decreased memory and cognitive function Dysglycemia
11. Changes in pro-inflammatory activity after menopause There is now a large body of evidence suggesting that the decline in ovarian function with menopause is associated with spontaneous increases in pro-inflammatory cytokines.
17. What if the Adrenals are weak? There is no compensation for estrogen loss this will lead to hormone fluctuations in the body all the typical symptoms will occur.
18. Are those familiar? Hot flashes Vaginal dryness Changes in skin tone Depression Poor concentration and memory Irregular periods Hair loss and thinning Pain and inflammation Weight gain Decreased memory and cognitive function Dysglycemia
19. In addition potentially devastating mechanisms are getting activated: There is a number offactors that cause systemic inflammation in Perimenopause Those factors potentiate each other and have devastating effects on cell aging and tissue breakdown Hormone replacement is not addressing those mechanisms since they stay active once triggered
20. First Mechanism: If there is a decline in Estrogen levels (specifically estradiol) infemale patients in premenopause, the inflammatory cytokine system is up-regulated and may stay up-regulated EVEN AFTER ESTROGEN LEVELS ARE RESTORED. Depending on pre-existing inflamed areas in the body this up-regulation will determine which systems are most impacted by this process.
21. Pre-exisitng Activity? What’s effected? Immune activation (which can lead to autoimmune diseases) Neuro-inflammation (which can lead to dementia, and many other neurological conditions) Free Radicals (increased cancer risk) Higher stress response (individual loses ability to cope with stress) Body fat (produces inflammatory agents)
22. Another Disturbing Mechanism Ever wondered why you are so cranky? You might feel like you are a bitch but seriously you are not. Here is what happens: There is a part of the brain that is responsible for having all those overly emotional reactions. It’s called the Mesolimbic system. Guess what: that system get’s heavily activated in menopause!
23. And there is more… The immune reactions cause: Tissue destruction (thus the bone loss) Decreased blood flow (higher cardio vascular risk) Decreased synapses (that leads to brain fog, neurological conditions etc)
24. Here is the bad News None of those conditions can be successfully treated just with hormone replacement Once those things start happening in your body, they pretty much won’t stop by themselves Without help the body deteriorates and degenerates at an alarming rate
25. And here is the good news: We actually have ways to help They are not exclusively ours, and they exist thanks to amazing neurological and endocrinological research that has been done in the last years Sadly almost nobody is practicing this particular kind of medicine yet It revolutionizes the way we are able to help in those conditions
26. What’s so different? We work mostly with nutritional supplements and herbs Those supplements are high end and go way beyond what’s sold on the market The formulas we use are very fine tuned and especially aimed to your individual medical need We carefully monitor and manage the process We use extremely thorough examinations to determine the right course of supplementation on an individual basis We often switch supplements during the process
27. What this does: We usually achieve dramatic results within the first 3 months of treatment. We are able to stop mechanisms in the body that have been on autopilot for many years We achieve higher and lasting life quality for our patients There are no signs of dependency with the products we use.
28. We use only natural products that are intended to restore health, not manipulate the body in unethical ways like for example some weight loss products do We do not use prescription drugs and pharmaceuticals Our products are of the highest quality and after a favorable condition in the body is restored we discontinue treatment without side effects Our goal is to get you out of our care as fast as possible
29. We can help: Women who are approaching menopause and don’t want to have to deal with meonopausal symptoms later on. We prepare your body so you can have a smooth transition Women who are going through menopause Woman after their menopause, who are still experiencing symptoms and haven’t recovered fully and just feel like they haven’t been the same since they entered menopause
