What is menopause?

Menopause is the time at “mid-life” when a woman has her last period. It happens when the ovaries stop releasing eggs – usually a gradual process. Sometimes it happens all at once.

Perimenopause is the period of gradual changes that lead into menopause. It affects a woman’s hormones, body, and feelings. It can be a stop-start process that may take months or years.

“Climacteric”is another word for the time when a woman passes from the reproductive to the non-reproductive years of her life.

The ovaries’ production of estrogen slows down during perimenopause. Hormone levels fluctuate, causing changes just as they did during adolescence.

The changes leading to menopause may seem much more intense than those during puberty. The intensity may be affected by a woman’s feelings about aging, including her reactions to social judgments about aging.

Induced menopause occurs if the ovaries are removed or damaged as in hysterectomy or chemotherapy. In this case, menopause begins immediately, with no perimenopause. The time after menopause is called postmenopause.

The average age for a woman’s final period is 51, but it can occur as early as age 40 and as late as age 60. Each woman’s experience with menopause is unique. Some women experience very few changes during this time, while others report noticeable symptoms.

The more you know about menopause, the better prepared you will be to manage any menopause-related problems that might come your way.

Treatment, diet and lifestyle

Dealing with menopause is best accomplished via a combination of diet, healthy lifestyle and and alternative or natural treatments.

Many doctors are early in prescribing radical treatments such as HRT without fully educating their patients on the risks and side effects associated with the treatment.

Before embarking on so radical a treatment, consider first the proven, 100% safe, effective, natural remedy – MellowPause.

What is MellowPause?

Estrogen dominance is also a factor in some of the more troublesome symptoms of menopause as well as PMS and complaints like PCOS.

Estrogen dominance is thought to occur when there is a drop in progesterone production during menopause.

Black Cohosh is one of the more thoroughly researched herbs which contains phytoestrogens and is approved by the German ‘Kommission E” – a body similar to the FDA.

Because Black Cohosh has mild estrogen-like effects it will bind to estrogen receptors, without raising estrogen levels in the body – thereby lowering the estrogenic activity of the body.

Phytoestrogens can compete with excess systemic estrogen and xeno-estrogens and therefore help to balance systemic estrogen production.

In addition, research suggests that Black Cohosh also suppresses Luteinizing Hormone (LH), high levels of which are responsible for hot flashes, among other things.

Black Cohosh is one of the principle ingredients in our MellowPause remedy, along with Pasque Flower which is a well known tonic for the female reproductive system.

In the case of severe menopausal symptoms, we recommend that MellowPause be taken together with Don Quai, which has been used for many centuries in traditional Chinese medicine.

Don Quai is also well researched and apart from its phyto-estrogenic properties, it has also been shown to be effective in the induction of progesterone receptor activity, thereby further balancing the estrogen/progesterone ratios.

Use MellowPause for immediate relief from symptoms:

• Hot flashes
• Insomnia
• Moodiness
• Restlessness and irritability

Why is MellowPause better than HRT and soy?

The risks and long term effects of HRT are well known, and MellowPause is a much more comprehensive solution than soy-based products.

While soy has been shown to have positive effect on hormone balancing, MellowPause’s combination of ingredients make it effective for not only hormone balancing, but helps with other menopausal symptoms such as irritability, mood swings and insomnia.

How has MellowPause helped others?

“I started with ADDult and immediately felt better. Not trusting my feelings I went to my doctor to get a prescription for Strattera. Strattera not only didn’t work any better, but made me feel sick and drugged everyday. I immediately came off of it and started back on my ADDult. I will swear by this stuff! I feel more mentally alert and it is not my imagination. I have also recently purchased Mellowpause and have immediately felt the difference. I highly recommend these products. They work!!!” – Sharon C., WV

Therefore, what’s the good news about post-menopause? Read on.

There seems to be a double-standard for men and women. When men go through a mid-life crisis; they sometimes seek out younger women or buy expensive toys. However, when a woman goes through menopause, it is highlighted by the symptoms she experiences. There is a definite disconnect between how quickly one reaches their destination Vs the journey that is taken to arrive there.

While woman are more open than ever before about their experiences, it seems a far cry from years ago when our moms and grandmothers never even broached the subject of periods, let alone menopause. Well the good news is that there is good news. No more heavy bleeding and hot flashes, mood swings, irritability, night sweats; Kotex pads, Tampax, or pregnancy issues.

Have you noticed that after menopause you begin to voice your feelings in a more forceful manner? The days of shyness and remaining in the shadows are gone, ladies. Stepping up to the plate and taking the all important swing has revitalized post-menopausal and their attitudes towards life. It’s quite refreshing. More importantly, as one woman stated, “I have earned the right to say what I feel, and how I feel, and I will continue to speak up.”

Post-menopause enables a woman to seek new challenges; with the children grown and married, it is the perfect opportunity to go back to college; or take a trip to a place they’ve never been. To be able to have the time to spend on what they enjoy is a dream come true.  One woman stated she felt “young again,” and looked upon this time as being able to do all of things she never had the opportunity to do.

Do not get the impression that post-menopausal women wake up one day and utter, “I don’t think I’m in Kansas anymore.” It takes time and thoughtful consideration to determine, out of all the possibilities, what a woman might choose. But the process goes on every day.

The ability to rediscover who you are is uplifting and invigorating. While some may still be going through discomfort and emotional angst, be assured this is not a pep talk; but merely an indication of what is to come.

Once you are in the post-menopausal stage, your passions and desires will be heightened. In addition, you will not look upon this time as the golden years, as some would suggest, but will simply continue in the circle of life with a renewed sense of passion and purpose.
