If you are perimenopausal or menopausal you likely feel lost or uncertain about how to manage your symptoms including insomnia, hot flashes and night sweats, moods swings and irritability. You may also be experiencing a loss of libido and weight changes. But when you detoxify your liver, you will feel more balanced, have more energy and be calmer. You may even lose a few pounds in the process and feel sexier to boot.
When seeing women with menopausal symptoms, just the smallest of changes in their diet, like the removal of sugar, alleviated brain fog, fatigue, and irritability. Sometimes, it is the one or two food sensitivities that drive the symptoms and by removing them, you feel focused, energized, calm and centered. It can be easy to determine what is driving the symptoms for you. Each of us can have different drivers and you need to find what is causing your symptoms.
Here are a few easy steps to manage your menopausal symptoms.
• Avoid sugar, gluten, dairy, corn, eggs and soy for 4 – 6 weeks.
• Reintroduce one at a time slowly to see which foods affect your body.
• Daily movement for at least 30 minutes.
• Use Castor Oil Packs over your liver for 45 – 60 minutes per day/night.
• Get 7 – 8 hours of sleep every night.
To get started look for recipes on auto-immune websites for meal options. Make a list of your symptoms before you start and again before you reintroduce foods. Look up how to make and use a castor oil pack. Find at least 30 minutes in your day for exercise.
Have Fun!
