Navigating Menopause is much more than the decision to take HRT(MHT) or not.

Navigating Menopause Naturally — Dr Ivana Matic-Stancin | Melbourne Lifestyle Medicine GP Navigating menopause involves much more than the dilemma of taking or not taking HRT. It takes a holistic approach that addresses physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. By incorporating lifestyle changes, managing stress, and embracing self-care practices, women can find natural ways to ease

Each of us can influence our lives. Knowing that opens huge new possibilities but also a frightening responsibility. Are you brave enough to dare to be coached?

Ever wondered why we spend so many hours in the land of nod? 🌙🛌​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Sleep isn't just a break from our daily routines; it serves a crucial evolutionary function. The theory of 'synaptic homeostasis' suggests that sleep is the brain's way of maintaining flexibility and adaptability. 🧠✨

When we're awake, experience & learning change the strength of synaptic connections between neurons in the brain. This process, however, consumes energy and resources, leading to 'full' synapses - which explains why learning new things feels tougher when we're exhausted. 📚💡🥱

As we slumber, our brain doesn't just rest. It actively resets these synaptic connections, refreshing & restoring cellular energy. 🌌🔄

In essence, the dance between sleep, synaptic adaptability, & memory processes is a key aspect of our cognitive health! 💭🛌💫
