Menopause

Menopause is a time for many women when they realize that they can’t take their health for granted. Most experience weight gain, loss of libido, sleep disruption, flagging energy, debilitating hot flashes and night sweats.

You may be looking for natural menopause treatments and be unsure of where to turn. Dr. Polly Watson can provide you with solutions beyond just a prescription for bioidentical hormones. 

As ovarian function declines, there are cascading effects all aspects of our bodies and minds. The onset of menopause can result in sleeplessness, hot flashes, brain fog, and low libido.  You may struggle with weight gain, and feel like you have lost control of your body. 

Joint pain can result from declining estrogen levels. Your thermostat is off- you are overtaken with the heat of a hot flash leaving you damp with sweat and then you are shaking with chills.

You are simply exhausted at the end of the day but sleep is fitful and interrupted by night sweats. You wake in the morning and dread facing your day depleted.
