“They’re not hot flashes -- they’re power surges!”

Menopause jokes about, but for any women that has gone through them, they’re anything but funny.

Does this sound like you?

You wake up in the middle of the night, sheets soaked with sweat. You’ve been tossing and turning for weeks now and you just don’t feel like your normal self. Your mood changes at seemingly random times, your skin has become dry, well, everywhere...and it feels like you gain five pounds just by looking at cake and to be honest, you can’t remember the last time you had a regular period.

As women age, into their late 30’s and early 40s, their bodies start making less of the hormones estrogen and progesterone, the hormones that regulate menstruation. As a result, periods can become irregular, heavier or lighter, longer or shorter, and fertility declines (although you can still get pregnant!)

There is a silver lining to this cloud, and that is that by your early 50s, your ovaries will stop producing eggs entirely and your periods will end. In the meantime, though, this basket full of symptoms can disturb your mood, wreck your sleep habits and generally leave you feeling irritable.

Why Are My Ovaries Causing Trouble Now?

Menopause is something that every woman goes through to some degree, and is a natural part of the aging process. In some cases, such as with a hysterectomy or certain types of cancer therapies like radiation and chemotherapies, menopausal-like symptoms like hot flashes and other symptoms can happen more often and sometimes abruptly.

The most common treatment for menopause symptoms involves hormone therapy, specifically estrogen therapy.

And, while you should never stop taking any medications without the approval of your physician, you should also know estrogen therapy used over a long period of time has its own inherent set of risks, including the possibility of:

• Cardiovascular disease

• Breast cancer

• Urinary incontinence

• Dementia

• Stroke or blood clots

What’s more, prescription drugs tend to be expensive, and they may interact or interfere with other medications you’re taking. And although hormone replacement therapy does have its benefits, many people understandably worry about complications.

With all of that in mind, it’s no surprise that they often ask:

If you look up natural treatments for menopause or hot flashes , chances are you’ll read about some small-scale studies with herbs and extracts like black cohosh. But one extract alone can only help so much.

You may also have considered changes to your diet, such as adding more fruits and vegetables or swapping out sugary sodas for healthier green tea (chock full of antioxidants!), but many diets force you to uproot your existing eating habits, and consequently, you may not be getting enough of the kinds of whole-body nutrition you need.

What You Need is a natural Multi-Pronged Solution! A solution that follows the MARS Formula.

The MARS Formula is a proven, One-Two-Three-Four Punch that helps to improve mood, reduce the signs of aging, reduce vaginal dryness and importantly help with the common symptoms of menopause including hot flashes, night sweats and insomnia.

MARS stands for:

Mood Improvement - One of the core complaints of women going through menopause is that their mood changes, sometimes inexplicably and almost always suddenly. They may find that things that normally wouldn’t faze them will suddenly irritate them to no end, while they become overly emotional about things that ordinarily wouldn’t cause that type of reaction.

With the right combination of herbs and extracts in the right doses, not only can mood be improved, but sudden mood swings can become a thing of the past. In fact, as you’ll see below, some of the natural remedies even mimic hormones in their effects - but without the questionable side effects!

Anti-Aging Effects - Without estrogen to keep skin plump and luminous, skin begins to dry out and wrinkles form. Because estrogen is so closely linked and involved in the physiology of skin, provides numerous crucial benefits, even below the surface. Estrogen helps stimulate collagen production, promotes the formation of veins, assists in blood flow, provides protection in the form of antioxidants and even helps to keep skin moisturized.

But there are also many natural remedies that provide the same kinds of benefits to add volume and hydrate the skin while spurring on the formation of collagen.

Reduce Dryness - And it’s not just your skin that estrogen helps keep moisturized. Vaginal dryness and discomfort during intercourse are also common complaints of menopausal women. Fortunately, Mother Nature can help with a variety of natural extracts that can help moisturize even sensitive tissue and skin.

Symptom Relief - Other common symptoms of menopause that can be alleviated naturally include hot flashes, night sweats and insomnia -- all without the need for prescription drugs or sleep aids that can affect your day-to-day life or interfere with other medicines you may be taking.

Well, you could go eat a very clean plant based diet rich in soy foods like soybeans, miso, tempeh as well as yams for an extended period of time. But for most, that's a rather unenjoyable option and you won’t know how much of each food to eat or if the foods you are eating contain the proper nutrients to improve your menopause symptoms.

Fortunately, you DON'T need to go on a very clean plant based diet, although I do recommend upping your plant intake (especially soy based foods) and eating clean.

A better option for improving menopause symptoms is with a selection of natural ingredients each of which has been evidenced in scientific research to support menopause symptom relief, improve mood, reduce skin and vaginal dryness and appearance of wrinkles† OR a combination of all three, exactly what you need to apply the MARS Formula.

In fact, by combining an plant & soy rich diet along with these select herbs you can help amplify the effects and feel like your happy, normal self again without the regular hot flashes and irritability!

• Ingredient#1 - Soy Isoflavones

  

  In several studies, isoflavone-containing soy extracts helped reduce the severity and frequency of hot flashes. Around 80% of women receiving one soy extract had reductions in hot flashes overall and an average reduction in the number of hot flashes by over 47%. Other symptoms of menopause were also improved, such as sleep disorders, anxiety and depression, bone pain, vaginal dryness and loss of libido.

  Soy isoflavones have also been shown to help with skin elasticity, which in turn diminishes the look of wrinkles. A common complaint of menopause is skin dryness due to a lack of collagen, which decreases as we age. Soy helps improve and increase collagen fibers, giving skin a more youthful appearance.

• Ingredient#2 - Licorice Root

  

  In terms of reducing the number and duration of hot flashes, researchers have concluded that licorice root is not all that different from hormone replacement therapy.

• Ingredient#3 - Vitex Berry

  

  Although its name sounds like a supplement in and of itself, this small, brown, peppercorn-sized berry, also known as chasteberry, has been used for thousands of years to help lessen menopausal symptoms. Now modern research has confirmed this evidence.

• Ingredient#4 - Black Cohosh

  

  The most famous and well-researched natural remedy for menopausal symptoms, black cohosh helped consistently improve vasomotor, psychiatric, physical and sexual symptoms resulting from menopause within the span of as little as 4 weeks. It is also highly effective at relieving hot flashes.

• Ingredient#5 - Red Clover

  

  Not only does red clover work to help reduce the occurrence of hot flashes, in animal tests, but it was also shown to help improve skin quality and thickness while raising levels of collagen. Red clover also helps circulate the existing levels of estrogen in your blood, shuttling it to where it can do the most good.

  This powerful herb has been used in ancient Chinese medicine to help reduce hot flashes and relieve migraines associated with menstruation. In modern times, clinical studies have shown that dong quai reduces hot flashes as much as 20-35%.

Now, you can no doubt imagine how much you’d reduce those annoying menopause symptoms with any one of these herbs, vitamins and minerals.

But let’s be honest, when was the last time you found dong quai or vitex berry at your local pharmacy? How many soybeans or yams would you need to consume in order to get the natural healing benefits they provide?

It’s not realistic or sensible to consume tons of any one thing, and taking each herb or extract individually could cause all sorts of digestive issues because the dosages are much too strong.

Instead, it’s far better to look for a supplement that incorporates the MARS Formula and contains all of the ingredients profiled here in the right dosages to give you the best possible results.
