Hello Thanks for reaching out about what’s going on with your body – the peri-menopausal stuff, sudden weight gain around your belly, feeling tired, hair falling out, and the bloating/acidity, especially since you’ve always been lean. It can be scary when things change so fast, but I’m here to help. With the right plan, we can get you feeling like yourself again – more energy, better digestion, and a good body balance. YOUR CONCERN – You’re 49. – You’re starting peri-menopause. – You’re feeling low energy. – You’ve gained fat around your lower belly. – You have trouble standing up. – Your hair is falling out. – You’re low on Iron, D, and B12. – You’re dealing with bloating and acidity (which is new for you). It looks like your hormones are shifting, your metabolism is slowing down a bit, and you might be missing some nutrients. Here’s how Ayurveda sees it: 1. Vata is up: This can cause tiredness, dryness, hair fall, and feeling weak. 2. Kapha is building up: This can lead to belly fat, feeling heavy, and being sluggish. 3. Pitta is off: this can make you have acidity, bloating, and inflammation. 4. Ojas is going down: This is like your body’s natural protection and youthfulness, and it goes down during this time. What we’re trying to do with treatment: – Get your hormones balanced in a natural way. – Shrink that belly fat. – Get your digestion working better. – Bring back your energy. – Stop the hair fall. – Fix those vitamin and mineral issues. AYURVEDIC PLAN INTERNAL MEDICATION 1 Ashokarishta: → Take 20 ml twice a day after eating. (It helps with peri-menopausal hormones) 2 Shatavari capsule: → Take 1 capsule twice a day. (Good for female hormones and hair) 3.Ashwagandha capsule → Take 1 capsule twice a day. (Brings back energy and helps reduce fat) 4.Triphala churna: → Take 1 tsp at night with warm water. (Good for digestion and bloating) Support for Deficiencies Keep taking your Iron, D, and B12 – Ayurveda works best when you’re getting the right nutrients. DIET & LIFESTYLEEat – Warm, cooked food – Moong dal – Ghee (clarified butter) – Dates – Pomegranate – Veggie soups ❌Avoid: – Cold food – Curd (yogurt) at night – Bakery stuff – Fried food – Sugar Walk for 30 minutes every day and do some easy yoga. WHAT TO EXPECT In about a month or two: – More energy – Less bloating – Better digestion – Hair fall slowing down – Belly fat gradually reducing You’re not just getting old all of a sudden – your hormones are changing, and we’re just helping your body adjust easily. Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
