Managing Menopause and Parenting Kids with Addiction: Insights from Dr. Robin Sinclair

Women will say: I used to be sharp as a and I just my brain is. And that has to do with those hormones that help our brain to kind of function better and that, you know, a lot of women in the perimenopausal time are also in the peak of their careers, and nothing shakes a woman's confidence as much as all of a sudden I'm at the highlight of my career and I am forgetting what I'm saying in a sentence or presenting something in the middle, you know, group of people and I'm sweating.
Picture this: you're navigating the choppy waters of menopause while also trying to parent a child struggling with addiction. It's a perfect storm of hormones, stress, and sleepless nights. In this episode of 'Hopestream', host Brenda Zane sits down with naturopathic doctor Robin Sinclair to tackle these overlapping challenges head-on. Dr. Sinclair dives into the complex relationship between gut health and brain health, explaining how chronic stress can wreak havoc on our hormones.
She also sheds light on the major symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, from weight gain to night sweats, and offers practical advice on managing these symptoms while caring for high-risk children. This conversation isn't just for the 'old ladies'—Dr. Sinclair reveals that chronic stress can trigger early menopause in women as young as their 30s and 40s. So whether you're dealing with brain fog, emotional roller coasters, or hot flashes, this episode is packed with valuable insights and support.
Tune in to learn how to balance your hormones, prioritize self-care, and de-stigmatize mental health during this challenging phase of life.
