Menopause - I can see the light

Season #8, Episode #3Menopause, I can see the light.This podcast is in no way advice for what you should do, I am not a medical doctor nor any kind of specialist in menopause, this is only my journey and I want to share hoping you may feel less alone in this journey.  These 2 years of menopause have been horrendous to say the least, from moments of rage, to being in tears in a corporate meeting, I felt like a crazy person. Anxiety hitting me like never before and bouts of such severe depression I wanted to drive my car off the road.After much deliberation and trying everything possible, I have started on estradiol and progesterone, and I feel like a normal person again only after 16 days on the new regime. Now the tablet is the solution it's not a quick fix, it's still up to me to eat well, sleep well, and don’t drink alcohol or if you do it's minimal and only occasionally. I take more vitamins than I thought possible and take magnesium daily.I feel like a walking health food shop, I feel joy again, and I am laughing again (always at myself) and I am pretty certain my family feel like they can breathe around me again. It was truly awful for them just as it was for me.Book picks for the month·         The Galveston Diet – Dr Mary Claire Haver·         Start with Why – Simon SenekFollow and subscribe to our podcastApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-resilience-movement/id1493036606?uo=4Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/5IqQe2AcH9d9NHVP46K328If you want to create a better life and be able to overcome challenges instead of being debilitated by adversity than you are in the right podcast, your host Donna Moulds has a wealth of experience in overcoming adversity, pushing herself beyond what she thought was possible and coming out the other end more resilient, more confident and with a zest for living life with purpose and passion.The Resilience Movement was created to help you find the tools and the determination to have the life you deserve helping you discover not only resilience beyond contemplation, it’s about discovering yourself, and developing self love and self worth creating more trust and belief in yourself to thrive in life, lets face it you only have 1 life make it magical.Follow us on:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theresiliencemovementInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theresiliencemovement/AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE: My podcast episode notes may contain affiliate links, if you purchase something through these links you won’t pay more, however I may receive a commission that enables me to earn a living, keep the channel going and at times purchase a nice bottle of prosecco to celebrate you awesome listeners.Thank you so much for your support and understanding!
