Fatigue is a feeling of constant tiredness or weakness. It can be mental or physical or both.

Although fatigue is constant, it can eb and flow, giving you good days and bad days but as a general rule, it interferes with your ability to perform day-to-day tasks.

Fatigue is a symptom, it's not a disease itself but it can be an indication that something more serious may be going on. To reduce the sensation of fatigue, you first need to consider what your personal underlying cause or causes are and correct these first.

Some common causes include:

• Poor Mitochondrial function
• Impaired cellular health
• Hormonal changes
• Adrenal dysfunction
• Thyroid dysfunction
• Poor sleep
• Blood sugar imbalances
• Chronic inflammation
• Digestive issues
• Toxicity and impaired liver function
• Cardiovascular issues
• Respiratory weakness
• Immune issues such as Chronic viral infections
• Mood disorders
• Nutrient deficiencies

You can see it's a long list and it's not relevant for everyone but it is important to consider all of these in case they are a part of your symptom picture.

Skin changes with the menopausal transition are multifactorial and estrogen isn't the only culprit when it comes to the appearance of your skin. Other hormones, dietary and lifestyle factors could also be at the root of the problem.

The menopausal transition is a natural process that all women will experience. During this time many women notice an inclination to withdraw, but it is important to be aware of the health benefits of socializing. Social support can come in many different forms, such as family, friends, neighbours, or even online support groups. Having social support during the menopausal transition can help women cope with the physical and emotional changes that come with this stage of life.

Unfortunately, as your hormones drop you are more prone to:

*Viral infections and viral reactivation of previous infections

*Bacterial and other microbial infections

*Auto-immune conditions

*Increased inflammation

If you have ever doubted the link between your hormones and your immune system think of those poor women that get cyclic thrush infections, cyclic herpes outbreaks, or are generally more prone to infections at either ovulation or menstruation—two times of major hormonal change.

Luckily there are many things you can do to protect your immune system and give it a helping hand, no matter what stage of life you are in.
