Menopause is not a malfunction. It is a transition, and like every transition in the body it changes the rules.
When oestrogen declines, several things shift at once. The cardiovascular protection oestrogen quietly provided fades. Thermoregulation becomes less stable, which is part of why hot flushes and night sweats appear. Sleep frays. Mood swings. And metabolism becomes less forgiving than it was a decade earlier.
Most of the conversation around this stops at hormones, or jumps straight to medication. I want to talk about two tools that are badly underused here, cold and heat, and I want to do it by showing you what the research found, not by making promises.
