Menopause Natural Solutions

Dr. Christy Sutton is a chiropractor, who is interested in asking why health problems occur, what the root causes are, and what the safest and most effective solutions to health problems are the foundation of her writing, teaching, and clinical practice.

Her personal health struggles and her desperation to find answers to her own serious health problems surrounding Crohn's and Celiac disease have led her down the alternative healthcare path and to look for ways to find and avoid genetic landmines.

Her first book "Genetic Testing: Defining Your Path to a Personalized Health Plan"; and its corresponding "Genetic Detoxification"; report were the precursors to creating the Labrogenomics educational webinars and to write her upcoming book "The Iron Curse".

Her book "The Iron Curse"; is inspired by diagnosing her husband and many patients with hereditary hemochromatosis and iron-related health problems, and takes a deep dive into hemochromatosis and other iron-related disorders.

Her husband's hemochromatosis led to liver problems and likely led to the development of a pituitary tumor that caused Cushing's disease. From her experience as a clinician, she has discovered that there is a silent epidemic of undiagnosed and untreated hemochromatosis, and this epidemic is being driven by myths, misperceptions, and a failure on the part of the medical community that should be diagnosing people with hemochromatosis: a disease that is easy to screen for, prevent, diagnose, and treat.

"The Iron Curse"; course and upcoming book are powerful tools for ending the epidemic of undiagnosed and untreated hemochromatosis, and they give people the information they need to diagnose, prevent, and correct iron-induced damage.

She has also created cutting-edge courses designed to help people learn more about labs, genes, and clinical pearls to optimize health. The topics include iron, gut health, immune health, Alzheimer's, and methylation.

Did you know it is thought that the average child laughs about 400 times a day, but the average adult only laughs about 15 times a day? I think George Burns said it best when he said

"You don't stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop laughing".

When did you last laugh? I mean really laugh.

Laughter promotes mental, physical, and emotional health. If you prefer to read the 13 health benefits particularly useful for women in the menopausal transition, here is the article https://www.menopausenaturalsolutions.com/blog/laughter

The Importance of Digestive Enzymes

As we age, many women will start to notice a change in their digestive ability. Signs that your digestive system isn't optimally functioning include heartburn, burping, nausea, food intolerances, bloating, cramping, flatulence, and constipation.

Several foods naturally contain digestive enzymes that can aid in the digestion process. Including these foods in your diet may help improve digestion and nutrient absorption. Here are some examples of foods rich in digestive enzymes:

APRICOTS - Apricots contain invertase, an enzyme that assists with carbohydrate digestion

AVOCADOS - Avocados contain lipase, an enzyme that assists in the digestion of fats.

BANANAS - Bananas contain amylase and maltase, adding in carbohydrate digestion

GINGER - Ginger contains a protein-digesting enzyme called zingibain, but it also stimulates the body to increase its natural production of amylase and lipase helping to also break down carbohydrates and fats.

HONEY - Raw unprocessed honey contains diastases, amylases, and invertase enzymes helpful in digesting carbohydrates plus a protease that aids in protein digestion.

KIWI FRUIT - Kiwi Fruit contains a protease enzyme called actinidin, which breaks down protein.

MANGOES - Mangos contain enzymes like amylase, which helps break down carbohydrates, and proteases that assist in protein digestion.

PAPAYA - Papaya contains papain and this helps to digest protein. The riper the fruit the less papain is present. Best to eat green.

PINEAPPLE - Pineapple contains bromelain, which is a protease enzyme meaning it aids in protein digestion.

NUTS & SEEDS - Sprouting seeds and nuts activate enzymes that aid in the digestion of proteins and fats.

Palpitations are not a pleasant sensation, woman experiencing them can actually feel their heart beating. For some, it is just the awareness of their heart at work, for others it feels like their heart is pounding, racing, or skipping a beat. Unfortunately, it's a common experience for many women in the menopausal transition.

Research indicates that 42% of perimenopausal and 54% of post-menopausal women experience them.

If with your palpitations you are also experiencing shortness of breath, chest pain, chest tightening, or dizziness it's best to head to emergency.

If not, then book an appointment with your regular doctor. They can check your medications, as some medications can cause palpitations, and they can investigate for other conditions such as hyperthyroidism that can also produce palpitations. And rule out other cardiovascular issues such as arrhythmias. Once you are cleared of anything more serious it's time to look at your diet and lifestyle.

These factors increase the risk of palpitations:

• Blood sugar irregularities
• Dehydration and low electrolyte status
• Low Iron Anaemia
• Blood pressure issues
• Stress, anxiety, or panic.
• Being inactive
• Caffeine consumption
• Alcohol consumption
• Cigarette smoking or vaping
• Taking recreational drugs
• Left side sleeping
• Sleep apnea
