Menovia launches free menopause guide: The Menopause - A Broader View

Menovia, the digital clinic for personal menopause care, is launching a free guide for women going through menopause: The Menopause — A Broader View. The guide is available to download from the Menovia website starting today.

Menopause is still too often reduced to hot flushes and the end of menstruation. In reality it's a complex hormonal transition that lasts for years and affects sleep, mood, energy, concentration, joints, heart and metabolism. Precisely because these complaints are so varied, they often go unrecognised as hormonal — by women themselves, but also within mainstream healthcare.

The guide delivers exactly what the title promises: a broader view. Among other things, readers will discover:

• What happens hormonally in the different stages of menopause, from perimenopause to postmenopause
• Why complaints such as sleep problems, brain fog and mood swings often begin well before menopause itself
• The biggest misconceptions about menopause and hormone therapy
• How bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT), nutrition and lifestyle reinforce one another
• When it makes sense to seek professional guidance

"Women are often told that their symptoms are just part of life, or they're treated in isolation without looking at the bigger hormonal picture," says Dr Freeha Arshad, founder and physician at Menovia. "With this guide we want to give women the knowledge to understand their own bodies — because when you understand what's happening, you can make well-informed choices."

The guide is free to download from the Menovia website.
