Inflammation and Menopause

🌸 Inflammation & Menopause: What You Need to Know 🌸 I often discuss inflammation with my patients because it's at the core of many chronic illnesses. 

Did you know it can also worsen perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms? 

🌸 Estrogen Decline & Inflammation Menopause can lead to increased inflammation due to declining estrogen levels. If you already experience inflammation before menopause, your inflammatory symptoms may intensify.

🌸 Fat Accumulation Estrogen decline can promote adipose tissue (fat) accumulation, which contributes to inflammation. This can make managing symptoms more challenging.

🌸 Signs of Inflammation

Bloating, headaches, joint pain, muscle pain, anxiety, stress, heart disease,  arthritis 

Recognizing these signs can help you manage and mitigate inflammation

🌸 Health Tips

  • Maintain a balanced diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods

  • Stay active with regular exercise

  • Manage stress through mindfulness and relaxation techniques

  • Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice
