	Sue: How about the role of soy for help in taming perimenopausal/menopausal symptoms? Stephanie: I like soy a lot and it has tremendous health benefits. Even if a woman is taking an estrogen/progesterone product she should still be eating or taking in soy somehow in her diet- whether through food ( concentrate soy shake, soy milk) or as a supplement. I don't believe soy will replace estrogen but it has terrific health benefits in and of itself. (also see the Joy of Soy) Sue: What is the best way to handle perimenopause? Stephanie: Tailoring the hormone therapy and life style changes for that particular woman is key to good perimenopause management . Each woman is an individual with her own health needs and family history of illnesses. I try to consider all of these issues in addition to her current life style and the quality of life she is currently living. We may look at how her diet may be contributing to her hot flashes and racing heart. Sometimes it can be as simple as eating 5 smaller meals a day as opposed to 3 larger meals which is more traditional in our country. This works tremendously to keep blood sugar in balance and prevent hot flashes and that "jumpy" feeling.
