Constant discussions in the gym about fan speed and air con temperature lately have indicated we have a lot of perimenopausal and menopausal clients … perfectly natural … in a nutshell it’s just the opposite end of the spectrum to puberty  …. And for many it absolutely sucks … think mood swings, hot flushes, interrupted sleep, weight gain, and sometimes depression and aching joints 

Here’s our hot tips that we are having success with:

* Focus on sleep by keeping the room temp cool

* Eat a protein based diet … we are having some big wins with True Protein Creatine Monohydrate

* Focus on intentional strength training and muscle building (because the decrease in oestrogen experienced during menopause, increases the risk of injury and joint pain).

* A practice of InfraRed Saunas and ice baths are definitely helping with our client’s soreness, sleep, and reducing hot flushes and mood swings (via decreasing stress & toxins, and increasing circulation)

* We have a lot of clients taking our True Protein Collagen and the ZMA (zinc & magnesium) and finding they are helping as well.

Obviously seek medical advice on your conditions but we always prefer to try natural remedies first wherever possible
