Flash ALERT!

Usually people refer to Menopause as "middle age crisis" or going through "The Change," but it can be looked at as a positive life transformation ... Right?

Menopause is the time in a woman's life when she stops having menstrual periods and is no longer fertile. The most common age range of a women who experiences menopause is 48-55 years old but some women can go through early menopause occurring as early as the age of about 35 years old. Early menopausal symptoms could be similar to those of menopausal women and could be triggered by hormonal imbalances in the body.
 
During the menstrual cycle the ovaries produce a hormone called estrogen and around the time of menopause the estrogen hormone may decline and an absence can mean changes in energy levels, decrease in bone density, risk of urinary and heart health problems.

About the Author

Dr. Robert F. Gucciardo, DC

Gucciardo Specific Chiropractic and Natural Health Center

Dr. Gucciardo was born and raised in Queens, NY. He attended Archbishop Molloy Highschool where he played baseball and then went to Pace University in Pleasantville, New York to continue playing baseball at the Division 1 level and graduated from The Lubin School of Business with a BBA degree. In early childhood he had watched his brother receive chiropractic care from a local chiropractor because he was diagnosed with scoliosis in his early teen years. While receiving care, his brother also had other health benefits that amazed Dr. Gucciardo. Then one day while playing basketball at age 11, Dr. Gucciardo fell and injured his hip and lower back. He was checked out by the same chiropractor his brother was receiving care from. Some adjustments were made and things improved.
