Hey everyone, welcome to Facially Conscious! Today we will talk about Menopause. If you have a chance, listen to our amazing episode Ageless Beauty: Unveiling the Secrets of Skin and Menopause with Dr. Suzanne Beth Gilberg-Lenz
Menopause is often viewed as a daunting phase of life. In this podcast episode Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz, a diplomat of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, dives into the complexities and misconceptions surrounding menopause. With a medical degree from the USC School of Medicine and extensive experience in women's health, Dr. Gilberg-Lenz is uniquely positioned to guide us through this transformative journey.
Menopause isn't just about hot flashes and hormonal changes; it also profoundly affects our skin. As estrogen levels decline, our skin's integrity is compromised, leading to thinning, sagging, and decreased collagen and elastin production. Dr. Gilberg-Lenz emphasizes the importance of understanding these changes and taking proactive steps to care for our skin.
But menopause is more than skin deep. It's a holistic transition that impacts every aspect of our well-being. Dr. Gilberg-Lenz advocates for a comprehensive approach to menopause management, addressing lifestyle factors such as sleep, hydration, and diet. As we age, she recommends embracing oils and serums for skin care and incorporating healthy fats into our diets to support skin health from the inside out.
However, navigating menopause can be daunting, especially with the myriad of misinformation and stigma surrounding it. Dr. Gilberg-Lenz encourages reframing menopause as a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. By seeking support, staying informed, and embracing change, women can emerge from menopause stronger and more resilient than ever.
Dr. Gilberg-Lenz's insights remind us that menopause is not the end of youth but a new beginning—a time to embrace our wisdom, strength, and beauty. Through education, self-care, and community support, we can navigate menopause gracefully and confidently, embracing this transformative phase of life.
