Sorry I am a new subscriber, I don’t know what’s your name . Just wanted to thank you dear for your sincere feelings and words to help and support us during this sensitive period of our life 💘🤗🌻
I find your vids very helpful. Not had a period for two years, I found a healthier diet helped with the flushes, however I'm so stiff, and this started as my periods stopped. I've had x rays ..just wear and tear, but how it came on, was unbelievable. ..any tips please ( I'm vegetarian btw ) eating almonds deffo helped my hair, skin and nails
Hi Lindsay Unfortunately, stiff joints are really common in the menopause and often caused by dehydration and lack of lubrication. Remember to drink loads of plain water every day and you may also find a fish oil supplement can be of benefit.
@@AvogelCoUk thank you. . Just so weird how the stiffness arrived lol. I do have quite a bit of olive oil in my diet ... The apple cider vinegar didn't help 😐 Love your vids btw
If your a vegetarian your probably eating many carbs , I found my stiffness went away after I eliminated most carbs from my diet , especially the highly processed ones.
@@vivianseda8371 yeh, I've recently cut out bread and pasta..love the odd Jacket spud though. I have calcium deposits in my shoulder now, causing a trapped nerve .. horrid x
Very informative for me, can't get over night sweats I have accepted them as part of me. Just wondering, could the skin problem I have, lichen planus be blamed on menopause? My skin keep breaking up with rashes and lots of itching for last three years, clears with dermatologist ointment then comes up again, please help
Hi Sarah It is possible; falling oestrogen can affect immune function which could make your more vulnerable to this if you were already predisposed. Sometimes doing a gentle liver detox can be of benefit and you could add in the Milk Thistle Complex for a couple of months. Acupuncture may also be worth looking into as it can help to balance out the hormones. www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/milk-thistle/
Hi Dam Mar That's not good, sorry to hear that, hope you've managed to get it resolved in some way. Are you in the UK? Here there is an organisation called the TUC which has a menopause protocol for employers to follow. Best Wishes Eileen
@@AvogelCoUk Thanks for replying to my comment! :) No, I'm not in the UK, I'm in Canada, but I watch your channel, as it's a great resource a this time of my life! Still, I will look up the TUC just to learn, I'm really curious! Maria
I recently started suffering severe brain fog, what can I do to stop this problem? I’m taking all my vitamins. Sleeping 8 hours, but always feeling tired or exhausted. How long does this last? I’m in my first year of menopause, you mentioned in another video symptoms might get better within in 2 years?
Hi Iliana Constant fatigue can be caused by a number of factors so it is a good idea to ask your doctor to test you for low iron, low thyroid function, low vitamin D and B12 just to rule these out. Remember to drink lots of plain water every day as dehydration caused by falling oestrogen can be a big trigger in brain fog! You could also add in the herb Ginkgo Biloba which is known to help with memory and focus. www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/ginkgo-biloba/ Many women do find that their symptoms start to ease off round about the 2 year mark but this can depend on general health, diet and stress management so it is important to look after yourself well at all times!
Eileen, My hair is drying out like cardboard. I don't eat sugar or smoke and only have one coffee to wake me up. I can't make out why my hair is like this. I use a good conditioner. Can you help please.
Sue Camp I have been been taking silica caps from health food store which has helped my hair and nails and skin. It's about 50 dollars but I found a huge difference .
Hi Sue Falling oestrogen can affect the oil glands on the scalp and if you produce less oil your hair will get drier. You may find taking a Sea Buckthorn Oil capsule may be of benefit and a colleague has suggested applying a little olive oil to the hair, massage well in and leave overnight.
I have found that all the things she mentioned in this video are so important to helping anxiety. I downloaded the app called Headspace a year ago and I have done it everyday. Sometimes twice. It has helped me to be more mindful of what thoughts are bangin' around in my head. It has also helped to lower anxiety because I can catch anxious thoughts and let them pass by. I also found a site for anxiety and anxiety disorder (which I am slowly conquering 😊), it is called anxietycentre. It has been an answer to prayer for me. Cognitive behavioral therapy is KEY to Overcoming! Anxiety has been a bit more troublesome for me during perimenopause so the skills I am learning have DEFINITELY been helping. Hope all this helps you, too!
What helped me was to learn where these panic attacks as i call them come from. Ive search a lot and finally found a site who gives the explaination wich i like to believe. The part of the brain wich is responsible for body temperature has also the intuïtion! And when hotflashes start the intuïtion goes along with it plus the autonome nervoussystem, breathing, heartbeat.. so it seems you constantly think something is wrong. Then you get the stresshormone, fight of flight. Since i learned it just is the intuition goin crazy im more sure and relax that its not me goin crazy lol
I'm not going to any doctor- you know more about menopause than any of them! I appreciate your valuable information, I'm so glad I found you.
So true. The doctor have no knowledge of menopause, not even the women doctors. The utubes videos has so much info...
Missy Herb me too ,, my suck lol (
I mean my doctor suck
Your videos have been very informative. Thank YOU for educating us. I appreciate all your time and videos. Keep them coming please ♥️

Sorry Lindsay
if you are vegetarian then you may find a flaxseed oil supplement or a 3,6,9 vegetarian oil blend helpful

I'm annoyed that my Dr dismissed my menopausal claims. I'm 52 and had a hysterectomy last year due to fibroids. She prescribed anxiety medication 😠
Yeh, I think it's too easy to prescribe such meds, when hormones are to blame ...
Thanks eleen for answer my questions
You're welcome! :)
Thank you so much !

@@AvogelCoUk Thanks for your reply, I will check whether we have the Milk Thistle in my country. I live in Nairobi Kenya
Sugar gets me every time..I use to love skittles!!! I can't eat them anymore cuz!! Holy crap sends me into terrible anxiety afterwards!!
Yes, sugary snacks can really rev up your nervous system!
What if you drink plain fizzy seltzer water and add your own pieces lemon, lime, or fruits to flavor it??
Unfortunately, fizzy water doesn’t have the same hydrating effect and research show that it can make you feel more hungry!
Thank you.
Thank you so much it was very great
You're welcome Dionne! 😊

I tried reaching out to HR during a particularly rough patch... And mind you, the lady was of menopausal age. My cry for help fell on deaf ears.

Eleen is chamomile tea is good to drink once a day pls let me know
Hi Anita
Yes, a couple of cups a day is fine, chamomile is very calming so a cup before bed is a good idea.

I have the same Problem plus anxiety hot flushes weight gain some women are very lucky not to suffer from anything we are not all the same

Add a cpl of capsules of evening primrose oil to your hair. It will change ur life.
I would eat more vitamin E rich foods, such as almonds... hope this helps

You could try the Stress Relief Daytime and take a magnesium supplement.

Hi Ranee
Thank you for these great tips!
🙏
Went though at 36 years old best thing that happened to me this lot of rubbish just get on with it and enjoy life
When having you're lady parts removed at 36 is NOT the same as "naturally" going into menopause at 50. Educate yourself, please.
