How to support yourself during perimenopause and menopause
To help you better support yourself during perimenopause and menopause, I recommend these three things:
1. Educate yourself
Knowledge is power. The more you learn about what's happening to your body, the easier it's going to be for you to learn how to cope. You can join menopause groups, look at vlogs like this, and there are loads of books around now as well. So, there's nothing to stop you from learning as much as possible.
2. Consider a menopause supplement
Take supplements to give your body some extra support, for instance our Menopause Support tablets. This contains soya isoflavones, a source of phytoestrogens, and the essential mineral magnesium, which is great for helping to reduce tiredness and fatigue.
3. Simple self-care strategies
Self-care is vital during perimenopause and menopause; it is not a luxury. Please take care of yourself with a few simple strategies. Learn to do some relaxation every day. Keep active every day. Even a 15 to 30-minute walk can make a huge amount of difference. Have a good, varied diet (aim to eat a rainbow every day) and drink plenty of plain water (aim to drink 1.5 – 2 litres every day).
