Yoga May Reduce Menopause Discomforts (New Study)

🧘‍♀️ A new study showed yoga helped with:

✔️ psychological health

✔️ physical concerns

✔️ urogenital issues

This was a randomized controlled trial in women between the ages of 40 and 60. Compared to no intervention, practicing yoga significantly reduced self-reported concerns in all of those areas listed.

Because of declining hormones at menopause, exercise becomes more important than ever to support bone health, weight, mood, sleep, and more.

If you’re looking to freshen up your exercise routine, think about getting a mix of:

1️⃣ Strength training (free weights, weight machines, resistance bands, squats, push-ups, etc.)

2️⃣ High-intensity interval training (HIIT involves short bursts if intense exercise)

3️⃣ Aerobic exercise (walking, running, biking, etc.)

4️⃣ Balance & flexibility training (yoga, tai chi, pilates)

What’s your favorite way to move?

Step 1 = Listen to Your Hormones

But wait! Let me finish ⬇️

Hormonal changes are not the only possible causes for these issues. To fully understand, we need to look at the complete picture, including your health history and labs.

That being said, I believe you deserve to understand your body!

Here’s what more women need to know:

Perimenopause can begin as early as age 35. It’s common for progesterone to decline before estrogen, creating a picture of high estrogen. That means…

👉 Worsening PMS, bloating, and heavy periods rather than what you might be expecting from “menopause.”

The good news is that we have an extensive toolbox to support healthy hormones and ease the transition with lifestyle, nutrition, and supplementation.
