During this time, hormones are fluctuating as wildly as they did in puberty, bringing bothersome and sometimes debilitating symptoms, such as menstrual irregularities, hot flashes\/night sweats, insomnia, libido problems, vaginal dryness, accelerated skin aging, heavy painful periods, and difficult mood changes. For many, it\u2019s not much fun. But hey, you survived puberty, and you can survive perimenopause, too! Half the battle is understanding that this is a normal stage of life, and using your newfound knowledge as well as making a trip to a local health store can make the passage a lot smoother.<\/p>\n

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START SUPPORTING THE ADRENAL GLANDS.<\/h3>\n

The first thing to know is that perimenopause is a little less bumpy for the women whose adrenal glands are healthy and functioning well. The adrenal glands are the main stress adaptive organs in the body, and they also play an important role during the transition to menopause. The adrenals become the main source of hormone production (estrogens and androgens) as the ovaries start their well-deserved vacation during the perimenopause years. It helps keep the adrenals well supported even before menopause, and the stronger the adrenals, the easier time you will have during perimenopause.<\/p>\n

Herbal Adrenal Support?<\/h3>\n

WomenSense\u00ae AdrenaSense\u00ae from Natural Factors is a natural adrenal support supplement containing herbs that help the body adapt to the negative effects of ongoing stress. I have recommended AdrenaSense to my patients for many years to support their hormonal health before, during, and after menopause. AdrenaSense\u00ae is available at your local health store.<\/p>\n

Amazing Grapeseed Extract!<\/h3>\n

You\u2019re probably wondering what you can do about the pesky symptoms directly associated with the dramatic hormonal changes during perimenopause. For perimenopausal support, grapeseed extract has been shown to improve some of the more difficult menopause-related symptoms, such as hot flashes, anxiety, and insomnia as well as improving overall physical symptoms, while at the same
time increasing muscle mass and reducing blood pressure.\"Hormone<\/p>\n

In one study women aged 40\u201360 with reported menopausal symptoms received 200 mg daily of grapeseed extract for 8 weeks. Hot flashes were decreased by approximately 48%, insomnia improved by 30%, and anxiety reduced by 20%.<\/p>\n

In addition to the results mentioned above, grapeseed extract does not have any phytoestrogenlike activities; nor does it promote hormonal alterations in perimenopausal women. It also has few or no side effects, having been very well tolerated by women participating in trials.<\/p>\n

Grapeseed Extract and Beauty Too?<\/h3>\n

With the onset of perimenopause most women experience continual changes in the skin: increased dryness and reduction in collagen leading to loss of skin elasticity and increased wrinkles \u2013 or, as my granddaughter says \u201cGrandma, you have squishy skin!\u201d Well, grapeseed extract has a positive effect on this aspect of aging, too.<\/p>\n

Antioxidants protect cells from unstable molecules that can cause damage to healthy cells on the skin and in the body, according to the National Cancer Institute. Grape seed extract contains several plant compounds, including oligomeric proanthocyanidins, (OPCs) which are very powerful antioxidants.<\/p>\n

Extensive research suggests that grape seed extract is beneficial in many areas of health because of its antioxidant effects. It has been shown to protect the skin from sun damage, bond with collagen as well as promote youthful skin, cell health, elasticity, and flexibility.<\/p>\n

Other studies have shown that proanthocyanidins help enhance vision; improve flexibility in joints, arteries, and body tissues such as the heart, and promote blood circulation by strengthening capillaries, arteries, and veins.<\/p>\n

Perimenopause Smooth Sailing<\/h3>\n

In addition to supplementing with AdrenaSense and grapeseed extract, there\u2019s more you can do to keep your perimenopausal passage smooth:
\u25a0 Support gut health with probiotics.<\/strong>
\u25a0 Take a minimum of 2000 IU (50 mcg) of vitamin D daily.<\/strong>
\u25a0 Ensure adequate omega-3 intake.<\/strong>
\u25a0 Get regular exercise to help with moods, hot flashes, weight management, and bone health.<\/strong>
\u25a0 Quit smoking, if you haven\u2019t already.<\/strong>
\u25a0 Avoid or minimize hot flash triggers such as caffeine and alcohol (particularly red wine).<\/strong>
\u25a0 Avoid polyester fabrics which worsen hot flashes or sweating for many women. Choose natural fibers such as cotton.<\/strong>
\u25a0 Aim for no more than 4 oz of animal products daily, especially if they contain added hormones. Ideally, always choose organic animal products with no added hormones.<\/strong>
\u25a0 Test your thyroid. Many symptoms diagnosed as perimenopausal are similar to some symptoms of hypothyroidism or low thyroid.<\/strong><\/p>\n
