Hot flashes, night sweats, irritability. These are just a few of the well-known symptoms that women experience as they begin to enter menopause. But what many people don’t know is the myriad of emotional and hormonal symptoms that can also creep into the day-to-day, and that our husbands might be experiencing them too.
So what’s the deal with menopause and how can we help ourselves get through it naturally? Where do men fit into the picture and are their signs and symptoms something we should be paying more attention to? Let’s talk about it.
Our guests today are APRN Andrew Lauzier and Osteopathic Physician Dr. Kate Zachau from Collaborative Natural Health Partners in Connecticut.
As a nurse practitioner, Andrew provides primary care across the practice, managing acute and chronic diseases, and focusing on the importance of primary prevention. Andrew is passionate about integrative and holistic care and he loves educating both adults and children about their options beyond just traditional medicine.
Dr. Kate Zachau is an Osteopathic Physician who works with patients to determine the root cause of their symptoms in alignment with naturopathic and osteopathic philosophies. She specifically works with women as they move through menopause and her passion for integrative medicine is most notable in the modalities of mind-body medicine, nutrition, and osteopathic manipulation.
Here on Your Health Toolkit, we often talk about how conventional and naturopathic medicine can play complementary roles in our overall health. We call this “collaborative medicine” and through the work that we do at Collaborative Natural Health Partners, we are able to give people the knowledge and the tools they need to feel great every single day. If you’re interested in learning more, head over to our website or follow us on Facebook or Instagram for information, articles, and resources to take the guesswork out of your health.
