Exercise
Sustain at least 30 minutes of exercise at least five times a week.
Diversify your exercise routine to speed up your metabolism; working different muscles will allow you to burn more carbohydrates and body fat, protect your bones and your heart.
Yoga and meditation increases progesterone levels that will allow you to feel calmer and more centered in your life.
Use 1/4–1/2 teaspoons of 2% natural progesterone cream to reduce the occurrence of hot flashes and migraine headaches. You can pick this up at a natural food store or your doctor can prescribe it.
If you have an increased sex drive, find a creative outlet to channel your new energy into.
Try traditional Chinese acupuncture and Chinese herbs.
