Understanding Peri-Menopause and Menopause: What to Expect

Perimenopause typically begins in the mid to late 40s and can span several years, transitioning into menopause after 12 months without a menstrual period. Common symptoms include:

• Vasomotor symptoms: hot flashes, night sweats

• Mood swings, irritability, anxiety or low mood

• Sleep disturbances, fatigue

• Cognitive symptoms, memory loss, brain fog

• Joint aches, reduced bone density

• Genitourinary symptoms: vaginal dryness, urinary urgency

Dr Bianca’s clinic supports these symptoms with chiropractic care and spinal alignment toimprove nervous system resilience, movement, flexibility, balance and pain management. As well as nutritional support to reduce stress, balance hormones and reduce inflammation during this life stage.

Menopausal Hormone Therapy (HRT): Mainstream Medical Insights

We understand why some women choose HRT 

Bone health and fracture prevention

HRT (estrogen & progestogen) is touted to be the most effective intervention for prevention of osteoporosis and fracture in menopausal women, particularly in those under 60 or within 10 years of menopause onset. source Canadian Menopause SocietyThe BMS.

Cardiovascular and brain health
When started within ten years of menopause or before age 60, properly dosed and delivered (often transdermal) HRT can provide cardiovascular and neuroprotective benefits. Starting
later may raise risks for stroke or VTE, especially with oral estrogen formulations NatureBMJThe BMS.

Mood, sleep and menopausal symptoms

HRT is the gold standard for relief of hot flushes, night sweats, sleep issues, mood swings,
and low mood. It acts on hypothalamic regulation and estrogen receptors in the brain to help
stabilize emotional and cognitive symptoms Canadian Menopause Society.

PainX Metagenics: What Is It and What Does It Do?

Pain X (by Metagenics) is a powdered magnesiumbased formulation designed to support healthy hormonal balance, stress resilience, PMS symptoms, and thyroid function.

Key ingredients include:

• Magnesium bisglycinate (Meta Mag®) – highly absorbable, supports stress

  response and may lessen muscle cramps

• Zinc, vitamin B6, B12, folate – support natural estrogen metabolism and nervous

  system health

• Iodine & selenium – support healthy thyroid function, which in turn modulates

  hormone balance and mood control

• Inositol & chromium – help modulate blood sugar and insulin, often beneficial

  during menopausal transition Metagenics

Women may observe symptom relief within days, though typical benefits for PMS and hormonal balance are seen over several weeks to months.

 Can I Take Pain X with HRT?

Short answer: Yes, in most cases—but always under practitioner supervision.

• Pain X is a nutritional supplement; it does not contain hormones. There is no

  documented direct interaction with estrogen or progesterone used in HRT.

• That said, always consult with your healthcare provider, particularly if you have

  underlying medical conditions or are taking prescription medications Metagenics.

• Pain X may in fact complement HRT, supporting bone mineral density (via

  magnesium and B vitamins), mood regulation, and stress resilience, alongside HRT’s

  direct estrogendriven symptom relief.

• Practitioners like Dr Bianca Beaumont often personalise menopause plans,

  combining targeted supplements (e.g. magnesium, vitamin D, Bcomplex) with HRT if

  needed, to achieve optimal symptom management and longterm wellness Happy
