Mayo Clinic Minute: Lifestyle changes to manage menopause symptoms

The average healthy woman begins menopause at 51, though some women will begin in their 40s or in their late 50s. It's a natural biological process that marks the time a woman ends her menstrual cycle.

Mood swings, hot flashes and difficulty sleeping are common symptoms that can be effectively managed with hormone therapy. Lifestyle changes also can help relieve these temporary symptoms, says Dr. Denise Millstine, a physician from Mayo Clinic's Women's Health Center.
