The Book				Headaches & Menopause by Joseph J Collins, RN ND
Menopause Type^® Questionnaire				Protocols Based On Menopause Primary Concern
				Addressing the Special Needs of Headaches in Perimenopause, Menopause & Postmenopause Menopause associated headaches have been observed in deficient a function of estrogen, progesterone or testosterone. While the decreased function of any of these hormones may trigger or increase headaches, the mechanisms by which these headaches are precipitated may vary. Restoring optimal hormone function, as indicated, is an affective means of decreasing menopause associated headaches. Enhancing hormone function requires first & foremost healthy lifestyle and dietary habits as discussed in the Integrative Management of Endocrine Dysfunction document. Unstable blood sugar due to poor function of insulin is another hormone related cause of headaches in menopause. The following formulations may be used as indicated:

				Decreased Estrogen Function:
				With either fluctuations of estrogens, or consistently low estrogen function, an increased incidence of vasomotor instability may be contributory to various forms of headaches. When there are other signs of vasomotor instability, Choose:
Estro-Mend^™ - When there is suboptimal estrogen function, the mechanism of action appears to be due to vasomotor instability (FI). This formulation can restore normal function of estrogens sensitive tissues, and decrease vasomotor symptoms, which can affectively decrease headache occurrences due to vasomotor dysfunction. More Information on Estro-Mend^™
Decreased Progesterone Function:
The increased inflammation and spasms that often accompany decreased progesterone function may be a cause. When there are other signs of inflammation, spasms, aches and pain, choose:
Progesto-Mend^™ - Suboptimal progesterone function associated with increased headaches is most likely due to the global increase in inflammation seen with low progesterone function. This formulation can restore normal progesterone function and provide anti-inflammatory support (FI). More Information on Progesto-Mend^™
Decreased Testosterone Function:
There is often a mild vasomotor response and unexplained headache associated with low testosterone function. When there are other signs of low testosterone, choose:
		Testo-Gain^™, In women, decrease testosterone function is associated with increased headaches. Though the mechanism is elusive at present, it may be due to the ability of low testosterone function to precipitate vasomotor symptoms. This formulation should be considered if there are any other signs of decreased testosterone function. More Information on Testo-Gain^™
Blood Sugar Disorders
Feelings of fatigue, anxiety, or any other symptoms that worsen after a meal suggest that there is an unhealthy shift of blood sugar levels. Though blood sugar disorders (dysglycemias) can range from low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) to high blood sugar (hyperglycemia & diabetes), all forms of blood sugar disorder should be treated seriously. The drop in blood sugar after eating is often a predecessor to insulin resistance, which eventually results to diabetes.
Glucobrium, should be used if headaches occurs in any relationship to eating, especially if there are blood sugar disorders in family. More information on Glucobrium
