Question:-. I have recently had unbearable night sweats, short tempered and the most scary of all, incredible muscle lethargy and joint pain.. I am 48 years old and normally “never stop” so am finding this all very difficult. My diet is awful, (busy working mother) so think it could do with a big “tweak”. Do you think this is the start of the menopause and what is the best thing for me to do dietary wise or taking supplements?

Reply:- Yes it may well be,  you already have some of the symptoms …….

Diet is most important  when trying to balance the hormones, along with supplements, these  help in the down fall of vitamins and minerals from an unbalanced diet/ unbalanced body…..

Be strict with yourself, Start your day with water to flush toxins away, do have Breakfast, this is important as it will help to regulate and stabilise blood sugars.

Regular smaller portioned meals, include snacks am & pm of fruit and nuts,  hourly water

Plan your days food so that you are never hungry.  Your general health and well being  body balance and hormonal symptoms will soon improve
