Thriving in Midlife

Thriving in midlife often requires different strategies and interventions than at other life stages.  Naturopathic doctors often get asked what to keep in mind as we support ourselves after menopause.

Here are some things to prioritize when thinking of preventative health as we age.

• Cardiovascular disease – it’s the #1 killer of women
• Osteoporosis and fracture risk – lift, jump, and maintain balance 
• Blood sugar and metabolic health – assess for insulin resistance
• Brain health and dementia risk reduction – protect your cognitive health
• Genitourinary syndrome of menopause – know the symptoms and treatment options
• Maintain social connections – live longer and happier
• Cancer prevention – know your risk and stay on top of screening
