3 Simple Ways to Beat Hot Flashes (And Feel Like Yourself Again)

If you’ve ever felt that sudden wave of heat, the flushed cheeks, or that all-too-familiar night sweat — you know how uncomfortable hot flashes can be. The good news? They’re not something you just have to “live with.” Hot flashes are your body’s way of letting you know that things are out of balance, especially when it comes to hormones, blood sugar, and metabolism.

Here are three natural ways to find relief and feel more at ease in your body again:

1. Balance Estrogen with Progesterone Support
As estrogen rises and progesterone drops during perimenopause and menopause, you may feel more heat, tension, or irritability. Progesterone is your calming, cooling hormone, it helps regulate temperature and ease those surges. Simple ways to support it? Enjoy protein-rich foods like eggs, dairy, and gelatin.  Talk to your naturopathic doctor or health care practitioner about gentle, bioidentical progesterone options.

2. Keep Blood Sugar Steady
Those sudden hot flashes after skipping a meal? That’s often your blood sugar crashing and stress hormones kicking in. Regular meals with a good balance of protein, natural carbs, and healthy fats can work wonders. Think milk with honey, cheese and fruit, or even a small bedtime snack to help prevent those night sweats.

3. Support Your Metabolism (and Thyroid)
A healthy metabolism keeps your energy and temperature steady. If your thyroid’s running slow, those temperature swings can feel worse. Support it with warm meals, sunshine, rest, and nutrient-rich foods — seafood, fruit, and dairy are all great options.

Your body truly wants to be well.  With the right support, it can.
