Menopause and exercise: A Holistic approach to relief

At Gytree, we understand that menopause is a significant transition in a woman's life. Just as we offer comprehensive support for PCOS management, we believe in holistic approaches to menopausal symptoms. Today, we're exploring how exercise can be a powerful tool in managing menopause.

Understanding Menopause

Menopause typically occurs between ages 45 and 55, marking the end of menstrual cycles. It's characterized by a decline in reproductive hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone. This shift can lead to symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and weight gain.

The Power of Exercise in Menopause Management

Regular exercise can be a game-changer during menopause. It helps regulate weight, boosts mood through endorphin release, strengthens bones to combat osteoporosis risk, and enhances cardiovascular health. At Gytree, we emphasize the importance of tailored exercise routines, just as we do with our personalized PCOS management plans.
