STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Menopause typically occurs between ages 45 and 55, causing hormonal changes that lead to symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats, significantly impacting daily life and well-being
Research shows diets rich in healthy carbohydrates reduce hot flashes by 88%, with participants experiencing better overall physical and emotional well-being
Low-carbohydrate diets likely harm postmenopausal women by increasing bone breakdown markers and inflammation, while decreasing bone formation, raising osteoporosis risk

Natural progesterone supplementation may effectively manage menopausal symptoms and support overall health; natural remedies like ashwagandha root extract, daily sauna use and cognitive behavioral therapy are also useful
