QUESTION:
What can I do to prevent hot flashes?
ANSWER:
There are several ways to decrease the intensity, frequency, and severity of hot
flashes. We recommend a combination approach, starting with
diet and nutrition. Eating a well-balanced diet of whole fresh foods, and
supplementing your meals with high-quality nutritional supplements can ensure that
you have all the building materials needed for balancing your hormones and neurotransmitters
(both involved in hot flashes). Next, we recommend finding ways to reduce your stress
and increase your exercise. Studies have shown both of these lifestyle modifications
can be very helpful for reducing hot flashes. The third measure we recommend is
gentle endocrine support in the form of
phytotherapy, including medicinal herbs and non-GMO soy when needed. Each
of these measures works in combination to better support your endocrine system,
the body-wide information signaling system that produces your hormones, thereby
reducing hot flashes.
