Hormonal Wellness Initiative

Hormones—Is there anything biologically more important to our wellness?

Hormones are with us at every stage of life, affecting both the quality of life and the way in which we live it. Hormones drive and facilitate the reproduction of the human race and are vital for wellness. Clients are affected by hormones in some way, be it during pregnancy, menopause, the teenage years or modern living. It is often suggested that spas can help clients to sleep, de-stress, recuperate and recover. Hormones drive both the negative symptoms of stress and recovery. Our product choices, diet and lifestyle directly impact our hormonal status, yet little advice is offered by the wellness industry. The Hormonal Wellness Initiative seeks to change this through active research leading to hormonal wellness education and protocols.

Objectives

Phase 1

To enable specialist medical menopause practitioners to appreciate the efficacy of non-pharmaceutical protocols to manage the unwanted consequences of menopause

Stage 1: Gather information as to the efficacy of the following for the management of the unwanted consequences of menopause:

  • Aromatherapy
  • mind-body approaches for example, CBT, hypnosis, biofeedback, mindfulness.
  • HIIT training
  • Touch therapies
  • Herbal treatments
  • Plant-based treatments
  1. Determine the specific symptoms (or groups of symptoms) addressed by these approaches
  2. Gather information on racial disparities in the traditional treatment of menopause, with emphasis on women of colour and menopause treatment

Stage 2: Share this information in North America via the professional bodies for specialist medical menopause practitioners
Stage 3: Collect data (via face to face standardised form filling) on the awareness of specialist medical menopause practitioners of the efficacy of the non-pharmaceutical protocols studies in Stage 1.
Stage 4: Use the data and evidence gathered in stages 1-3 to increase awareness of the efficacy of non-standard approaches.

Phase 2

Gather information on global variations in the use of non-standard treatments for the unwanted consequences of menopause as well as information on racial disparities in the traditional treatment of menopause. Information gathered in Phase 1 will be used as a benchmark.
