Hi there, I hope you are well. Hormonal imbalances are increase food cravings, and you are likely to incline towards your favourite foods. Here's what you can do to address your cravings - - Let's understand that cravings can happen due to deficiencies as well as dehydrated. - Hence, incorporate foods from different food groups. - Add enough fibre, protein, and good fats to the diet as these can keep you full, and provide satiety. - Add protein to every meal, even your snacks, eg- fruit with chia seeds sprinkled on top, fruit with Greek yogurt, etc. - Have a wholesome, and nutritious breakfast, and lunch, and keep your dinner light ( preferably protein based). - Cater to your cravings once a while. - Keep yourself hydrated, drink at least 8-10 glasses of water. - Sleep well and stress less, as less sleep and more stress can increase cravings, and exacerbate hormonal imbalance. - Maintain a journal to write your feelings, why do you crave something. - Avoid stocking unhealthy foods 🙂

What supplements are recommended for menopause?
You would generally need calcium and vitamin d supplements once you hit your 40s. As you grow older your calcium absorption decreases and it is very important to maintain certain calcium levels for your bone and muscle strength. Vitamin d is needed for better absorption of calcium as well as for good mood regulation. Apart from that most other supplements get prescribed based on deficiency.
Menopause means stopping of female hormones, especially Estrogen. Because it is necessary for your vagina as well as your overall health, you can take so many natural Medicines instead of taking just supplements. You may face vaginal dryness, mood swings/ emotional ups and downs and osteoporosis. Also hot flushes irritates most. Just supplements are not sufficient if these symptoms are irritating you. Then Take proper consultation with your doctor. Natural medicines are more useful in my opinion.

Is it healthy to take out some time everyday away from my husband?? Will it affect our relationship or strengthen it?
it is completely normal and healthy to want some time to yourself even when you're married. needing personal space does not mean that there is something wrong with your marriage. it just shows that you value your independence and like taking care of your well-being. taking time for your self helps you align your personal needs. manage stress, make goals for yourself and accomplish them.

How long does it take to forget a guy? Ugh, it's been ages since we broke up, but I still can't get him out of my head. How long does it usually take to forget about a guy and move on?
Hello Dear. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. I have seen many young people having difficulty moving on from past relationships. Let me give you an analogy on how this works. Imagine a black ball inside of you, that's the pain you felt during break up. It doesn't go away. It stays but the beauty is it becomes smaller and smaller as you experience the even more beautiful things in life. And one day you won't even know that it exists because it's too small to notice. that's how trauma works. Hope I helped you and join my live to have a conversation with me.

How long does it take for a man to realize what he lost in his ex is something that he will not find anywhere, in any other women?
Hi Beautiful. Okay. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. I have seen many couple's and I can see that, you really love your ex. You are a beautiful women and ofcourse he would miss to be with an amazing human. But this is something you seem to not realise, if you did, you wouldn't put yourself in such misery of waiting for him. I know it's difficult, but start by thinking that you would only allow respect, trust and love. Anything less isn't for you. I would want to talk more on this, come on a call with me on my live session. - Consultant Psychologist

What do you want him to "find" in other women? Please share. It can take a day or even months. Life goes on, people will find new people who suit their interests. Most are normally like others and it's heartbreaking to lose what you loved and cared that you obsess over other person taking those things. Relax, it will take time to get over it.

What things or actions of a women do men miss after a breakup?? What can we do to make them miss us??
Hi dear. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. I understand you miss him and want to be with him. Instead of trying to do things, why don't you talk to him directly about your feelings. If that's something possible or he feels the same, he would respond mutually. And you both can work on the things that didn't work. But beyond that, I wouldn't suggest doing more as it might affect your emotional Health and self esteem.. I can only answer this much because I need more information on what's exactly been happening and happened. Do join my live every morning 8 am or 2 pm. or 7 pm.

What should I do if I am facing a midlife crisis and don’t know who i am anymore??
Hello Dear. That's a common struggle and can be extremely difficult as it gets confusing each day. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. First of all, understand having mid-life crisis is good. It means you are changing and growing. But navigating mid life crisis requires guidance and some existential answers. I would be better able to help one on one. I do live sessions every day morning 8 am, 2pm and 8 pm. Come and have a chat.

Needed help. I have been bleeding for straight 17 days. Started off with period, but then it hasn't stopped. I am worried as it's heavy bleeding and also see jelly like blood clots. Am confused what has to be done. Can someone help out.
ultrasound karwaye phle usse pta chalega and plz koi uterus remove karne ke liye bole to mat kijiye ga ye problem time ke sath theek ho jaati hai Mane bhi ye problem jhali hai if you are comfortable then talk to me
Hi there, I hope you are well. It's best to consult a gynecologist at this stage because you may need to go through some blood tests and only then the cause can be ascertained. Hence, please visit a doctor at the earliest:) Take care.

Are there any dietary supplements you recommend to support my menstrual health based on my individual needs?
Hey there! 🌸 Looking to boost your menstrual health? Consider adding these essentials to your routine: Iron for replenishing lost blood, Vitamin B6 to ease those pesky PMS symptoms, Magnesium for calming those cramps, Omega-3 fatty acids to soothe inflammation, and don't forget Calcium for bone health and mood stability. Your body will thank you for the extra support!
hina2d
There is no restriction for your diet during your menstrual cycle. Nor are there any foods that you necessarily should eat, except for foods high in iron. Because of the blood loss, there is also some iron loss w/menstruation. Therefore, foods high in iron content can help replace the iron stores that women need. These foods can include dark chocolate in small amounts, molasses, and then green leafy veggies such as spinach, beef, turkey, etc. You can google for a more comprehensive list. Otherwise, no special diet is required.
