12 Tips for Hot Flashes Relief

Ladies, are you lying awake all night because you’re sweating so much that your pajamas and bed sheets are drenched?  Just when you start to fall back asleep, you start burning up and sweating again.  You may be at work in a meeting, wearing your best suit, and all of the sudden you can’t stop sweating.  You have to excuse yourself and leave the room. Hot flashes can be miserable (and embarrassing when around other people). You need relief fast!

Here are 12 tips for hot flash relief:

1. Avoid sugar, which can trigger hot flashes for many women. Sugary desserts in the evening can set off hot flashes and night sweats during the night due to a drop in blood sugar.

2. Avoid triggers such as alcohol (especially red wine), chocolate, and aged cheese.

3. Turn down the A/C. Keep your bedroom as cool as possible.

4. Use fans at night to help keep the air flowing.

5. Avoid spicy foods because they make you warm inside.

6. Take a cold shower before bed.

7. Avoid using a Tempur-Pedic mattress as it tends to be hot.

8. Don’t smoke cigarettes. Tobacco is linked to an increase in hot flashes.

9. Work on losing that extra weight, since excess weight and obesity are risks factors for hot flashes.

10. Drink lots of water. It’s important to stay hydrated throughout the day. This helps keep your body’s cooling system working well.

11. Get yourself a cooling pillow to help keep you cool while you sleep.

12. Restore and balance your hormones. Be sure not to overlook the important significance of correcting progesterone and estrogen loss. Replenishing and balancing these hormones with bioidentical hormones is crucial to stopping hot flashes.

Monika’s Story

After Monika had a hysterectomy, her health went downhill. She entered into what is called “surgical menopause.” She had mood swings, hot flashes, trouble sleeping, hair loss, anxiety and she was cold and tired all the time. Her doctor put her on Premarin and antidepressants, but that made her feel worse. Once she came to the Hotze Health & Wellness Center and was placed on bioidentical hormones and thyroid, she got her energy and vitality back! Watch as Monika tells her story.

I’ve been a guest at this facility for 15 years. They are the most efficient, thorough and caring group of individuals I’ve ever experienced. Dr Hotze looks to change the way a typical doctor treats patients and looks for root causes to eliminate medical issues instead of treating “symptoms”. My life has improved 100% since my initial visit. The cost of the treatments are worth it.

I cannot accurately describe in words how I feel about this practice and the entire staff. I have had quite a few health issues throughout the years, rheumatoid arthritis, sjogrens, weight gain, hair loss, irritability, and that is just the beginning. I had pretty much given up on feeling good, just decided to "live with it" and hope for the best. Two very close friends love the Hotze Wellness Clinic and they have experienced life changing health. Made my appointment and from the beginning I felt heard. Not a in and out fast food style practice. They are looked and are looking at my entire body for overall health and wellness. Connections from mind and body to clinical blood work, even dental questions....they care and I feel as if I can trust them. I am on a path to complete wellness and my goal is to have my RA back in remission as it once was....make yourself a priority. Having hope is an incredible feeling!
