Supporting Your Body During Menopause Naturally

Navigating menopause with care and support, helping you feel balanced, energized, and confident every day.

You have spent years taking care of everything and everyone around you, and now your body is asking for some attention too. Menopause is a natural part of life, but the changes it brings can still feel confusing or disruptive.

Maybe you are waking up at night feeling hot, struggling to fall back asleep, or noticing shifts in your energy and mood. Perhaps you have noticed changes in your skin, your metabolism, or even your ability to concentrate. You are not alone. These are all common experiences during menopause; your body is adjusting to a new hormonal rhythm.

At Broadmoor Chiropractic Massage Naturopathy in Richmond, we help women understand what is happening in their bodies and find natural, effective ways to feel balanced again.

Understanding What Your Body Is Going Through

Menopause typically occurs around age 50, though the exact timing is different for everyone. During this stage, levels of estrogen and progesterone decline, which can cause a variety of symptoms such as:

• Hot flashes and night sweats

• Trouble sleeping or fatigue

• Mood swings or anxiety

• Weight gain or slower metabolism

• Changes in skin and hair

• Bone or joint discomfort

• Brain fog or difficulty focusing

It is easy to feel frustrated when your body does not feel the way it used to. Naturopathic care focuses on helping your body adapt naturally so you can regain comfort and confidence.

How Naturopathy Can Support You

Our naturopathic approach starts with understanding your unique hormonal picture. We use the DUTCH test, an advanced hormone test that provides a detailed look at your estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and other key markers. This helps us identify imbalances and design a personalized care plan.

Here are some of the ways we can help you feel better during menopause:

• Nutrition guidance: Simple, sustainable dietary changes that help balance hormones, support metabolism, and maintain steady energy.

• Botanical and homeopathic support: Natural remedies that ease hot flashes, improve sleep, and stabilize mood.

• Acupuncture and Bowen therapy: Gentle treatments that help reduce stress and support hormonal regulation.

• IV and IM vitamin therapy: Fast-acting treatments that replenish key nutrients, boost energy, and improve focus.

• Comprehensive testing: In addition to the DUTCH test, we can run blood, urine, stool, or saliva tests to give a complete picture of your health.

Naturopathic care can work safely alongside conventional medicine, giving you a truly holistic way to manage this stage of life.

Everyday Habits That Support Wellness

The little things you do each day can make a big difference in how you feel. We can help you integrate habits such as:

• Stress management practices to calm your mind and balance your mood

• Gentle movement or strength exercises to support bone health and energy

• Sleep-supporting routines for deeper, more restful nights

• Nutrition and gut health strategies to help your body process hormones effectively
