Hot flashes are among the most common symptoms associated with the changing hormonal balances during menopause.  These sudden feelings of intense heat accompanied by sweating and rapid heartbeat can last from 2 - 30 minutes... they are not over in a 'flash'. Women experience disrupted sleep, work, and social activities, and may feel more anxious or depressed.  Women with higher body mass index (BMI) report more frequent or severe hot flashes compared to women with lower BMI.  A 2010 clinical study showed that overweight or obese women can benefit from behavioral weight loss efforts to decrease the burden of their menopausal symptoms.   Many problems associated with aging are significantly improved or eliminated when extra pounds are shed.  Avoiding Type II Diabetes, back and joint pain, heart disease and stroke are some additional health incentives to keep in mind as you embrace a healthy lifestyle and gradually lose weight through eating well and regular exercise.

Do you ever wonder why it is you can’t lose weight? You spend a fortune on every fad diet and supplement that comes along. You go to the gym. You even starve yourself. Did you ever think that you might be doing everything wrong? That it might not be safe or FDA approved?
At Kaizen, our philosophy is that diets do not work, never did and never will. This is why over 87% of all people who lose weight put it back on (AND MORE) within 2 years. Our nutritionists are certified by Kaizen to mix in science with common sense. We want you to eat at least 6 times a day, but 6 QUALITY meals/snacks. Hungry at night? EAT! Once you get over the “starvation is good mentality”, you will begin to see results.
