Do you need a menopause MOT?

The physiological adaptations that take place with menopause have the potential to create a host of symptoms, including significant changes to your body, mood and energy levels.

These changes that can range from making life difficult to feeling like you’ve had the rug pulled completely from under you.

It can also be tough to get a consensus on whether you are indeed perimenopausal (as the symptoms mimic many other health conditions) or what stage of menopause you’re in.

Then there’s the vast amount of options available when it comes to supplements, nutrition, herbs and HRT.

In amongst all this many women are also juggling conflicting demands of a family, partner, career and elderly parents which can mean that healthy habits take a back seat.

It can easily begin to feel completely overwhelming.
