S4 E23: Hot Flashes and Night Sweats, WTF is Going On?!
Loading
/

One of the MOST uncomfortable symptoms that every woman will experience (at some time or another) are…hot flashes.

Both hot flashes and night sweats are super frustrating and unpredictable. Whether you’ve felt those overwhelming waves of heat during the day, or your sleep has been disrupted due to being drenched in sweat, it’s not fun!

The good news is – you’re NOT powerless to hot flashes and night sweats! I’m breaking down what’s *really* going on when you experience a hot flash, hormonal shifts and imbalances that lead to these during perimenopause, how lifestyle adjustments, supplements, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help, and more.

While hot flashes and night sweats are very common, they don’t have to be a ‘normal’ part of your life, either. These are a symptom of something deeper that is out of balance within your body.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and take a personalized, root-cause approach to your hormonal symptoms, learn more about how our team can support you HERE. It’s time to take back control, because perimenopause doesn’t have to suck!!

Hey, I'm Margaret

I'm a Certified Holistic Nutritionist + Holistic Health Coach, Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist and owner of an integrative virtual wellness clinic that has helped hundreds of women on their journey to optimal health.

I know from my own personal health journey that it's possible to reclaim my body after years of struggling. I was confused and overwhelmed, dismissed by health providers who didn't take the time to understand the "why" behind my symptoms. Then I discovered Functional Nutrition and worked through the process of unraveling the root causes behind my struggles, everything changed.

Now I'm here to help you do the same!
