MENOPAUSE: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Menopause is associated with a range of symptoms which may affect quality of life as well may increase an individual’s risk of chronic conditions such as osteoporosis or cardiovascular disease. Menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats. Sleep issues, mood symptoms and others are no joke and it’s not something that women have to “endure” as part of aging. The experience of menopause will vary from individual to individual. Luckily there are a number of options to help manage menopause symptoms.
