Effects of Menopause

Most people are becoming more aware of some of the physical symptoms of menopause, including dryness, hair loss,  joint pain and hot flashes. However, other symptoms aren’t so widely discussed, like sleep disturbances, fatigue, mood changes,  concentration, brain fog and memory issues.

These symptoms do more than affect women physically. They also create a lot of emotional distress. For many women, they can cause anxiety, depression, overwhelm, self-image and worth issues, the feelings of loss, and grief. In short, menopause can wreak havoc physically, mentally, and emotionally on a woman, as well as her relationships.

You don’t have to bridge this transition alone. Call or text (805) 340-0363  and/or email [email protected]  OR Click here to schedule a free consult
