Stress & Insomnia
Finding it difficult getting to sleep at night? Or are you waking in the very small hours, tossing and turning and only getting to sleep again just as the alarm goes off? Sleep is one of the few essentials your body can't do without yet approximately 1 in 3 people suffers some form of insomnia to varying degrees of severity and frequency. A recent U.S. Army study concluded that sleep deprivation and insomnia reduces emotional intelligence and constructive thinking skills, not to mention its effects in compounding daytime fatigue. Studies suggest that in the long term, sleep loss weakens willpower, causing individuals to skip the gym and eat more. Ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates appetite, is increased due to sleep deprivation, while mental alertness, judgement and reflexes all diminish. Fatigue and insomnia are a vicious cycle leading to serious health risks such as hypertension, depression and obesity.
Natural supplements can help regulate your sleep/wake cycle and get you sleeping through the night once again. Even better, along with a good healthy eating plan and appropriate lifestyle changes, they can pick up your flagging energy during the day, ensuring you are strong, focused and calm ready to take on what the world has on offer.
Menopause
Most Australian women reach menopause between the ages of 45 and 55 years, with variation on either side. While not all women experience menopausal symptoms of those who do, about 70% will experience hot flushes and 40% will suffer from depression. Other symptoms include sweating, fatigue, irregular menstruation, bladder irritability and insomnia will occur in 20 to 40% of perimenopausal women-all thanks to the drop in the hormone oestrogen!. Holistic menopausal treatment, including dietary, lifestyle, herbal and nutritional support can offer symptomatic relief to the effects of oestrogen withdrawal that can cause some much despair for women during this transitional stage. Menopause may be part of a number of adjustments that women experience at midlife. At the same time a woman is beginning to experience signs and symptoms of menopause; she is usually approaching her fifties. Natural therapies allow women to find some balance and sanity amidst all the changes they may be experiencing.
