Your symptoms that you are experiencing may not necessarily be menopause symptoms. These are the same symptoms that many women experience starting in their mid-thirties. Once your mensus starts skipping cycles and you feel the initial hot flash symptoms, you will know for sure that you are in Menopause. Ask your mother when her mensus ended and that will usually give you a timeline.
Daily fatigue, sleeplessness and libido problems have one central common issue; Adrenal Fatigue. Adrenal Fatigue affects more of my patients than any other symptom. However, there is an answer. In a 24 hour cycle, your adrenal glands go through a circadian rhythm. Your energy peak occurs in the morning hours and it tapers off all day until at night you release your sleep hormones. If your adrenals are burned out, then you flat line your energy release day and night. You will normally feel very tired in the morning hours like you never went to sleep and you will feel tired and drained all day, pushing yourself through the day. This means your body’s hormone release is stagnant and you will not feel energy nor will you sleep well, although you will feel very tired and restless. Your energy release in the morning hours has a direct relationship on the amount of sleep hormones released. We have to re-establish the adrenal hormone release in the morning as well as re-establish your sleep hormone release at night. This may take some time to re-establish your hormone release, but it is the best way for a permanent cure. In most cases, libido and sex drive diminishes when you are fatigued. So if we pick up your energy, I bet your spark will return. Low testosterone, dhea, progesterone or estradiol may have some affect on your libido, however it is more important to establish adrenal health first. Your adrenal glands metabolize these hormones. So don’t get ahead of yourself. Try these supplements below for Fatigue, Low Libido, Night time restlessness and increased motivation.
