Addressing hormone imbalance

-

STRESSED and tired, Anna feels like giving up.

At 48, she is a divorcee caring for her aged mother with dementia, coping with a demanding job and dealing with three headstrong teenagers.

She has been missing her periods for four months now, which stresses her out even more.

Even though she tries to rest, Anna has not been able to sleep well.

Sandwich generation

Women between 35 and 55 years old are often known as the “sandwich generation”, as they take up both roles of caring for the young and old.

This phase of life is especially challengin­g as it coincides with a time of significan­t hormonal changes.

Perimenopa­use means the time “around menopause” when hormonal imbalances are expected as the body progresses towards menopause.

Menopause is a transition that happens over a period of years when oestrogen levels would be fluctuatin­g in a downward pattern.

These hormonal fluctuatio­ns will, in turn, lead to various physical and emotional symptoms.

On top of these, midlife women often undergo a tremendous amount of stress being part of the “sandwich generation”.

Stress causes the body to channel resources for “survival purposes” primarily, which then leads to hormone regulation processes to be neglected.

Hormonal imbalance problems then worsen.

Alternativ­e natural therapies

Organic genistein is a very well-researched natural remedy for restoring hormonal health and wellness in women.

Its three main actions are as a phytoestro­gen (natural hormonal balance), antioxidan­t (anti-stress, cell protection and beauty) and metabolic-regulating complex (to inhibit fat formation and regulate bone building activities).

Unlike hormone-type drugs and hormone replacemen­t therapy, which merely adds on hormones to the body, organic genistein works by imitating the properties of oestrogen in a safe, selective and gentle manner.

It imparts natural anti-stress properties to help neutralise the harmful effects of stress on a woman’s hormones. Meanwhile, its metabolic-regulating effects support better weight management and stronger bones.

Although organic genistein cannot replace a balanced diet or regular exercise, it can help regulate hormonal imbalances and make weight management efforts more productive.

When a woman’s body is nourished by organic genistein, her hormonal balance would be optimal, translatin­g to better temperatur­e regulation, better sleep, healthier skin, better management of body weight and greater feelings of calm and wellness.
