Hot flushes and night sweats are two of the most common — and often most frustrating — symptoms during perimenopause and menopause, affecting around 80% of women. But even though they’re common, there’s still a lot of confusion about what causes them, when to seek help, and what actually works.
In this episode, Roberta explains:
- What hot flushes and night sweats feel like — and why they happen
- How hormone changes affect the brain and body temperature regulation
- When flushes might not be caused by menopause and need medical review
- Evidence-based strategies that can reduce symptoms, including breathing techniques, strength training, and diet
- Supplements with scientific support, like sage, magnesium, and red clover
- How to improve sleep and manage triggers like stress, caffeine, and alcohol
- When to seek extra help — and what support is available
