Menopause Fatigue: Announcing Methods to Control and Reduce It
The body’s stress system’s main parts are:
* the hypothalamus (part of the brain)
* the pituitary gland which sits at the base of the brain
* the adrenal gland which lies on top of the kidneys
These three parts make up what is known as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis). Each part plays a role in coordinating the body’s responses to stressful situations.
Within the HPA axis, each piece releases a chemical that carries a specific message to the next part down-line. At the end of the axis is the adrenal gland whose chemical messenger coordinates many different parts of the body. DHEA and its sulfate form DHEAS are the primary chemical messengers of this gland, but with aging, production slows, leading to a condition called “adrenopause.”
The decreased output of these compounds in advancing age has been correlated with a wide range of health problems. These compounds are steroids and are involved in the maintenance of:
* musculoskeletal stability
* immune system function
* stability of the musculoskeletal system
The body’s sex hormones, estrogen and testosterone, are manufactured from DHEA. Since DHEA output declines with age, companies have been manufacturing DHEA supplements for years. They claim benefits of fatigue relief and anti-aging for people who use this supplement form. In addition, the following conditions represent some that are supposedly helped by supplementation:
* type II diabetes
* loss of body fat and muscle
* complications for heart disease
* adrenal depletion
* HIV
* diabetes
* heart failure
* kidney problems
Drugs and medications may deplete DHEA. This is why drugs act as a stressor and reduce our ability to cope. For aging women whose resistance has been reduced and whose body is losing its ability to function at full throttle, menopause fatigue is often the result.
The Dietary Supplement Act of 1994 allowed DHEA to come on the market as a nutritional supplement. Previously, it had been a prescription product. It’s not clear from studies of the use of the product that it provides any healthful benefits.
DHEA is made naturally in the body, but DHEA supplements can be made in the laboratory from a chemical substance called diosgenin, found in soybeans and in the herb, wild yam. Wild yam creams applied to the skin are used for menstrual problems. But the body cannot convert wild yam to DHEA and this step must be done in the lab.
My take on DHEA and insufficient secretion is that this is not an isolated falling apart of normal body function. In fact, thousands of things are breaking down. Therefore, supplementation with DHEA represents only the tip of the iceberg.
In the alternative arena to modern medicine, supplementation with various nutrients and compounds has become the popular path to take, Yet, there are many other approaches that are effective at restoring and maintaining normal function for many years to come. Identifying and eliminating some of the causes of declining function is an effective approach.
Rather than supplements to supply under-manufactured products by the body, a more effective approach would be to help the body get rid of compounds that actually poison its functions. A detoxification program is a good idea as environmental pollutants represent a serious health hazard. They poison systems that make substances such as DHEA. There are effective detox methods and many, such as foot baths and colonics, that are ineffective.
Homeopathic drainage remedies are a proven modality and there are many manufacturers of these products. You will, most likely, have to get them from a licensed health care provider. Some herbs are very effective in doing detox.
Cleansing and rebuilding the body would help support healthy menopause and help reduce the fatigue that so often accompanies this life transition.
