How Health Over All Supports You Through Every Stage of Life
With each life stage, comes a new set of possible concerns or challenges when striving to achieve or maintain optimal wellness. What had once worked for us, may no longer be working for us now. The foods we use to ‘get away’ with eating in our 20’s, may now be resulting in more notable bloating or discomfort, and maybe you’ve noticed difficulty to maintain or lose weight, as the decades pass.
With each passing decade, brings a deeper understanding of who we are, and what our bodies are needing. We see many women of all ages, walk (or virtually walk) through our Health Over All clinic doors, all with one commonality –
a deep desire to feel better than how they are currently feeling.
We shouldn’t want anything less for ourselves. At the bare minimum, we should be symptom-free, pain-free. Listed below are some common symptoms and concerns at each stage of life.
Life in your 20’s and 30’s comes with its own set of surprises.
“I think there is something off with my hormones. I don’t think I’ve had them tested, but I’m interested to see if my hormones are the reason why I can’t seem to lose any weight, my periods are heavy, and I get killer migraines.”
Here, here, sister. Based on what you’ve told us, we’re interested to see what comes up on your blood report too.
When we know what is going on, we then have the potential to dramatically improve your quality of life.
Some of the main ways we support women in this age range, include;
- supporting your stress response and boosting your energy, as you navigate that work / life balance
- determining why you’re feeling so bloated by the end of the day
- ridding you of heavy, irregular periods
- fertility support – if that’s what you’re wanting
- changes in mood – including postpartum depression and burnout
Your work or school life might be going well, let’s make sure you’re not having to call in sick to work or miss school for period pains. Because that really is a pain – for you and your employer – having to do so.
To our women in their 40’s and 50’s, there is so much we can do to support you, during this transitional phase.
“I didn’t realize how often I would use food as celebration. I was so past the burn out phase, I really had no choice but to find a way to be better. I needed it for my kids, but also for me.”
Life is hard enough to manage on its own, as we’re balancing family life, work and relationships. Then we throw in a hormone imbalance into the picture, and we’re really struggling beyond belief.
You may be so stressed and burnt out, yet don’t feel like we have the time nor energy to engage in any self-care practices.
Or maybe its the difficulty you’re experiencing trying to stay asleep, between the night sweats and increase in anxiety. Some of the top symptoms within the 40’s to 50’s age range are as follows;
- irregular cycles, heavy and painful periods, hot flashes, night sweats
- increases in anxiety, wanting stress management support
- feeling like you have to ‘please’ everyone around you
- women dealing with an empty nest
These are problems that we have solutions for. Your lifestyle is probably too busy for you to be worrying about whether or not you’ll get a decent sleep tonight.
To our women in their 60’s and 70’s, we love working with you too.
“Now is the time I start caring for *enter your name*. I have given everything I have ever had to my kids and husband for my entire life. I don’t regret doing that, but I know now that it’s time to take care of my needs first and foremost.”
Your kids have moved out, and may have started to have kids of their own. For your whole life, you’ve been use to giving everyone everything. To the point where, you wonder if others now expect that of you.
You love giving your time, energy and resources to those you love, but you’re a little bothered from rarely ever having it reciprocated. If you’re not going to give yourself the self-love and care you’re needing, who will?
Self-practices like yoga and meditation are calling your name, and you’re ready to do the things you’ve always wanted to do – like the painting class you’ve mentioned to your friend.
Your hot flashes still come and go, so you’re wanting a little extra support there as well. Along with the occasional bloating you experience, which you have yet been able to pinpoint it back to a food trigger.
Some of the main concerns we see women for in their 60’s to 70’s are;
- emotional support with caring for a spouse, or living alone
- concerns regarding overall wellness, running essential blood work to make sure we’re on the right track
- bowel movement irregularities – feeling bloated and not knowing why
- acupuncture for low back pain, sciatica, or simply stress management
- menopausal and post-menopausal symptomatic relief
