Are you looking for a natural way to handle your perimenopause symptoms? If you want to steer clear of hormone replacement therapy, it could be time to roll out your yoga mat. Find out what benefits yoga, and other natural approaches, offer to women with perimenopause symptoms.
A recent article in the Huffington Post explains that yoga has a proven benefit to women nearing menopause, according to a recent study. In the study women who practiced a combination of yoga poses, breathing techniques, and meditation for an hour a day experienced symptom relief.
In addition to the benefits from exercise yoga may yield benefits to women with perimenopause symptoms on a deeper level. Meditation and breath work are both common techniques for reducing stress levels. Less stress means the adrenals stop pumping cortisol into your body. High cortisol is actually at the root of many common perimenopause symptoms. Dr. Christiane Northrup also finds that adrenal exhaustion can make perimenopause symptoms worse.
Dr. Marina Rose has helped women with perimenopause symptoms and people with other challenging, chronic health conditions in and around the city of San Jose, CA.
Practicing yoga is a great place to start, but there are many things you can do to reduce your perimenopause symptoms, lower stress and support your adrenal glands. With a Functional Nutrition approach you can find the right combination for your lifestyle.

Hi,
Interesting topic. At what age are we ladies considered peri-menopausal?
“Peri” means “around”. So perimenopause refers to the years before menopause when hormones starts shifting. Normally this would happen in the late 40’s but women who are under a lot of stress can have symptoms much earlier – even the mid 30’s. The good news is that with the proper nutritional support hormones can be balanced and then symptoms of perimenopause disappear.
