The Menopause – Is There an Alternative to HRT?

Our culture has come a long way from viewing menopause with dread and associating it with a perceived decrease in a woman's value. Understanding the natural progression of age in a woman's body and becoming acquainted with the therapies available, allows women today to manage their symptoms, however hideous and to be proactive in maintaining their health for their later years.

Every woman experiences the menopause differently. Many hardly notice 'the change', except perhaps their periods become irregular. Others suffer every symptom and find their lives are severely affected. However for every woman there is help available if she needs it - diet, exercise, alternative therapies or even HRT can help ease symptoms and make this stage more bearable.

A recent survey has revealed that 95% of women would try alternative therapies before considering HRT for menopausal symptoms. In this video Dr Catherine Hood talks about treatments such as Phyto Soya which can successfully alleviate menopausal symptoms with no risk of side effects. It also features the opinions of women who have been through the menopause.
