Описание: Send us a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...)


Hot flushes are one of the most common — and most disruptive — symptoms of menopause. For some women they’re mild and fleeting. For others, they interfere with sleep, mood, confidence, and quality of life.


In this episode of Opt to Thrive, Dr Corina Sims explains why hot flushes happen, what’s actually going on in the brain and body, and what truly helps — separating evidence-based options from myths and misinformation.


In this episode, we cover:

• What hot flushes are and why they feel so intense
• How declining oestrogen disrupts the body’s temperature control system
• The impact of hot flushes on sleep, brain fog, mood, and wellbeing
• Common triggers and practical strategies to reduce symptom severity
• Medical treatment options — hormonal and non-hormonal
• What the evidence really says about “natural” and complementary therapies
• Why some popular treatments don’t work — and may not be safe

Key takeaway:


Hot flushes are real, common, and treatable. You don’t need to wait, push through, or suffer in silence — and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
