Menopause: Symptoms, Food, Supplements & the Real Root Cause
I can’t believe I’m writing about this, lol. It’s still mind blowing to me that I have reached this point in my life. But here I am sharing a post about my experiences with menopause.
To be honest it hasn’t been nearly as bad as others. Trust me, I’ve heard and read so many heartbreaking stories. There are many women who have suffered tremendously during menopause.
Which makes me extremely grateful to have come across the life changing information from Medical Medium. This information has not only helped me overcome 30+ chronic symptoms but is now helping me navigate through menopause.
In this post I’m going to share about symptoms associated with menopause, food to eat, supplements that can help, and the real root cause of my symptoms (FYI it is not always hormones). Also check out my video for details about my personal menopause experience.

The Real Root Cause of my Symptoms
Menopause is actually supposed to be a seamless transition without a lot of symptoms. Women are told these symptoms associated with menopause are due to hormones. But according to Medical Medium it is not necessarily hormones to blame. It is a combination of a stagnant or overburdened liver, pathogens, heavy metals, and toxins. The time when the liver reaches its max and starts to not filter as efficiently just so happens to be around the same time a woman enters her menopause years.
