During menopause, things arent as simple as just too much or too little of any given hormone. In my practice, I found that patients tended to experience a total shift in their entire physical and chemical makeup that manifested as one of two patterns. Their body and brain chemistry tended toward becoming either too fast or too slow. For this reason, I call the first pattern estrogen deficiencyfast processor. The second is its mirror image: estrogen deficiencyslow processor.
Today I’ll give you the characteristics of a woman who is a fast processor.
Characteristics include:
Anxiety
Thin, dry skin and tissues
Menopause hot flashes
Night sweats
Insomnia
Vaginal dryness
Sore joints
Increased risk for heart disease and osteoporosis
Later this week, I’ll tell you about slow processors, then give you information on how to deal with both chemical makeups!
