Just as not every person born female experiences menopause changes the same way, the effectiveness of any given lifestyle option also varies from person to person. There are no guarantees that any action, supplement, or medication will work, and side effects are always possible.
A helpful question to ask is, "What are the risks of trying this lifestyle option?" Discuss this with your healthcare provider and do your own research. Also, make sure to follow dosage recommendations (whether for exercise, herbs, or other options) from reliable sources.
