Hot flushes are just one of the many symptoms of the menopause, along with mood swings, exhaustion, and weight gain, which can affect your day-to-day life. HRT is an effective treatment for hot flushes, but making changes to your diet may also help ease some of the challenging symptoms too.
As we age, our body inevitably changes, and some of these changes can affect self-esteem and sexual desire. But menopause doesn't have to mean the end of sex. Many couples enjoy an active sex life into older age and some say it even gets better. Here we discuss our tips for having great sex after the menopause.
Menopause is a natural part of ageing that happens when oestrogen levels drop, but it can be a challenging time. Officially defined as when your periods have stopped for 12 months, the menopause - and the stage leading up to it - can cause various physical and mental symptoms, such as anxiety.
You may not have reached menopause if you're experiencing headaches, night sweats, weight gain, anxiety, and depression - but you may be perimenopausal. While this means your body is transitioning towards menopause, it could be years before you reach it.

Matt Schmidt shares his own success story in the hope it will teach and inspire others that reversing type 2 diabetes can be possible.
