Episode #26: Perimenopause / Menopause and The Adrenal Connection Pt.2

Perimenopause + Menopause:
Less Common Symptoms and The Adrenal Connection (Part 2)

with Naturopathic Doctor, Holly German.


We are excited to back with Dr. Holly German today discussing the influence of perimenopause and menopause hormonal fluctuations and the adrenal influence on symptoms.

In this video, we wanted to focus the conversation on somewhat atypical symptoms that we see with a lot of our clients, but are less talked about in the peri-menopause or menopausal space. This includes things like sleep, mental and emotional issues, body composition changes and more.

We discuss the following:

  • Menopause recap, what is it and how do you know you're in it?

  • What are the most typical/common symptoms?

  • What are the more Atypical (but just as common) symptoms that are often overlooked or not associated with the hormonal changes at play?

  • How these symptoms are connected

  • How stress and adrenal issues exacerbate these symptoms

  • Recommendations for those not in menopause yet but looking to prevent these symptoms down the road?

  • What you can do if you are having these symptoms currently

  • Adrenal issues and hormonal imbalance and false menopause in younger women, can you reverse this?

We hope you found this conversation helpful and insightful.

Let us know in the comments if you have any feedback or upcoming topic requests. We love hearing from you!
