Health Care Provider roleWhat is the Health Care Provider Role? The Canadian Menopausal Society is recommending that lifestyle changes, including regular exercises, weight control, quitting smoking, controlled breathing, and lowering body temperature are the first line of defense when it comes to having a fabulous menopause. So, then why do we still need to go to our Health Care Provider? Research has shown that women who regularly visit their doctors are more likely to make the necessary healthy lifestyle changes. Also, remember, you may have an underlying condition (for example: hypothyroidism or uterine fibroids) that requires other treatment or medications that you haven’t thought of, or the natural medications you may be taking may be interfering with other meds, or they may have side effects that you are unaware of. www.nursingmenopause.com is intended to provide helpful and informative material on menopause. The reader should consult her medical, health, or other competent professional before adopting any of the suggestions made on this website. I disclaim all responsibility for any liability, loss, or risk personal or otherwise, which is incurred as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of the use and application of any of the contents of this website. Although reading books and articles on menopause and doing your own research is extremely important, it is also paramount that you do not automatically disregard the advice of your health care professional. You may be taking some unnecessary risks if you do not respect the health care professional's role. I do offer wellness coaching on this site and it would be my pleasure to discuss with you your specific needs and issues regarding perimenopause. However, I cannot replace the advice you may receive from your family physician.
