A major women’s health site — not this one! — published an article recently about “life after menopause.”
The advice it gave read like propaganda from Big Pharma. “Once the body stops producing estrogen,” it intoned gravely, “women are at a higher risk for developing serious health conditions…,” which it then listed, along with its recommended Rx drug treatments.
But here’s some news you can use: Menopause is not some cliff you drive over – it’s simply not a dividing line that your body produces estrogen before menopause, but none after. Yes, estrogen levels decline, but this does not explain hot flashes. The problem is a loss of hormonal balance, which for most women begins decades before menopause.
Estrogen is produced in the ovaries — and 7 other sites in the body
Your body actually makes estrogen your entire life — before puberty, during your menstrual years, and pre- and post-menopause. In fact, estrogen is made all over the place, not just in your ovaries, including:
Of course, your estrogen levels fall as your ovaries reduce their output at the end of your menstrual years, but that doesn’t mean that’s the sole cause of hot flashes and other symptoms. Science has proven otherwise (see our video on the real causes of menopause symptoms), but conventional medicine and Big Pharma hold to a more primitive view. Can you guess why?
Women need to know the truth about their hormones
The difference between their theory and ours matters — to you! In their theory, you are helpless, and should be grateful for Rx drugs to treat your broken-down body. In our theory, you can be healthy and vital — and without hot flashes — for the rest of your life.
If they’re right:
- Menopause symptoms are a result of aging, and there’s no way to stop the years from passing
- The only solution to lost estrogen is to replace it with drugs — or, almost as commonly, antiseizure medications or antidepressants
- You are stuck with a lot of other baggage about lost youth, lost sex appeal, lost vitality and hope
If we’re right:
- You can help your body re-balance its hormones without needing hormones or other drugs
- The changes you make to increase that support restore your health in a hundred other ways
- You look forward to aging gracefully, full of energy, health and power.
