Berkeley AcupunctureProviding Strength and Energy during Midlife

At Berkeley Acupuncture Center, we understand that the word perimenopause can make you feel old! However it is true that our cycles change as we move through our 40’s. Many of our patients in their 40’s are trying to conceive and many of them go on to have healthy babies. the key to navigating this decade successfully is to take care of your health. Women in their 20’s can get away with taking some health risks without too many consequences. By the time we reach our 40’ our bodies need a lot more support, especially if you are wanting to get pregnant. This is also the decade when you can set the stage for a trouble free menopause. Now is the time to come in and let us help you deal with those minor health problems you’ve been just “living with.” Acting now will make the next transition an easier one. Our patients in their 40’s seek us out to treat:

  • irregular cycles
  • heavy periods
  • weight gain
  • sleep disturbances
  • fatigue
  • infertility
  • stress and anxiety

Our aim is for you to have a smooth transition at menopause but if you suffer from symptoms please come and see us. Our practitioners are experienced at handling a variety of menopausal symptoms such as:

  • hot flashes
  • night sweats
  • mood swings
  • irritability
  • fatigue

The Chinese have a theory that our periods stop so that the blood can be sent back to the heart so we can cultivate wisdom and compassion. At Berkeley Acupuncture Center, we aim to demystify menopause and give this transition the respect it deserves.
