Menopause is not a sudden "end," but a gradual process of bodily transformation. Dr. Eric Berg explains it very clearly: the real problem is not low hormone levels, but an imbalance, especially a sharp drop in progesterone . Hong Kong women, with their high stress levels, refined diets, and lack of exercise, may experience more pronounced menopausal symptoms, but these symptoms can improve naturally .

🧬Hormonal changes during menopause
| Hormones | Range of change (approximately) | Functions and Impacts |
| Estrogen | ↓ 40–50% | Regulate menstruation and maintain vaginal and bone health |
| Testosterone | ↓ 50% | Libido, muscle maintenance, and emotional stability |
| Progesterone | ↓ 70–90% | Counteracts estrogen, stabilizes mood, and protects the uterus. |
✅ A sharp drop in progesterone levels → relatively high estrogen levels → symptoms of "estrogen dominance" appear.
⚠️ Common menopausal symptoms (related to hormonal imbalance )
· Hot flashes, night sweats
· Vaginal dryness and atrophy
· Mood swings, insomnia
· Weight gain, decreased libido
· Bone loss and muscle atrophy (what appears to be fat is actually loose muscle ).
🧠Key organ : Adrenals
· After menopause, the ovaries stop functioning → the adrenal glands are responsible for producing hormone reserves .
· If the adrenal glands are already fatigued (due to high stress, poor sleep) → menopausal symptoms will worsen.
· The adrenal glands also secrete cortisol →
o Destroying bones
o Increased insulin levels → Increased fat accumulation
o Affects sleep and mood
✅ Natural conditioning suggestions (applicable before and after menopause )
1. Supports adrenal function
· Stress reduction and sufficient sleep
· Supplement with vitamin C , B complex, and magnesium.
· Avoid caffeine and excessive exercise
2. Avoid low-fat/low-cholesterol diets
· All sex hormones are made from cholesterol.
· Recommended sources of healthy fats: butter, olive oil, coconut oil, and grass-fed animal fats.
3. Control cortisol and insulin
· Adopt a healthy ketogenic diet + intermittent fasting
· Stabilize blood sugar → Reduce fat accumulation and mood fluctuations
4. Supplement with progesterone (from natural sources )
· Recommendation: Wild Yam Cream
· It helps balance estrogen levels and reduce hot flashes and mood swings.
5. Metabolize estrogen and increase the ratio of good estrogen.
· Eat cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, kale )
· Supplement with seaweed ( Sea Kelp ) and DIM (concentrated cruciferous extract ).
· Helps prevent breast cancer and uterine-related diseases
6. Supplement with natural vitamin E
· Vitamin E is stored in the pituitary gland → which controls the ovaries and adrenal glands.
· Recommended choice: Natural mixed tocopherols + tocotrienols
· It helps reduce menopausal symptoms and improve hormone stability .
🧾Conclusion: Menopause is not "aging," but rather "transformation ."
Hong Kong women face many challenges during menopause, but as long as they know how to regulate their adrenal glands, supplement key nutrients, and stabilize their hormone levels, they can naturally transition without relying on hormone replacement therapy .
Starting today, a spoonful of wild yam cream, a dish of kale, and a natural vitamin E capsule will help you prepare your body for the second stage of menopause! 💪🌿🧘♀️
