Good Morning,
Many women turn to hormone replacement therapy (HRT), pills, patches or injections, for quick relief from hot flashes, night sweats or mood changes. While HRT can work fast, large trials show that certain forms and longer durations of HRT are linked to higher risks (heart disease, blood clots, stroke and breast cancer) for some women.
By contrast, clinical evidence and decades of work from physicians like Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Neal Barnard, T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn show that whole-food, plant-based diets can ease symptoms and improve long-term health, without the drug-linked tradeoffs. In short, HRT provides short-term relief but may carry long-term side effects, while a plant-based lifestyle offers both immediate benefits and long-range health gains.
Hit reply if you’d like to engage in a conversation about how menopause was a song for me as a result of choosing this lifestyle.
I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
