Menopause - Your Body's Midlife Reboot

Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers, guiding everything from energy to mood to metabolism. During menopause (and the years leading up to it), levels of key hormones — especially estrogen and progesterone — shift dramatically. This hormonal “recalibration” can change how you feel day to day, but it also opens an opportunity to support your body in new ways.

What Happens During Menopause

  • Hormone levels decline. Estrogen and progesterone drop, which can affect mood, sleep, and body composition.

  • Stress hormones matter more. Cortisol’s effects can become stronger when sex hormones are lower.

  • Metabolism adjusts. Changes in fat storage, muscle mass, and blood sugar handling are common.

  • Symptoms vary widely. Hot flashes, brain fog, and mood shifts can all appear — but not everyone experiences them the same way.

How to Support Hormone Balance Naturally

  • Prioritize protein and colorful plants. This supports muscle, metabolism, and detox of used hormones.

  • Move regularly. Strength training and walking help regulate weight, stress hormones, and sleep.

  • Reduce endocrine disruptors. Limit plastics, pesticides, and ultra-processed foods to ease hormone stress.

  • Nourish stress resilience. Mindfulness, breathing, and time outdoors help keep cortisol in check.

  • Check key nutrients. Vitamin D, magnesium, and omega-3s all play roles in hormone signaling and inflammation control.

Menopause isn’t a shutdown — it’s a hormone handoff. As estrogen and progesterone step back, your adrenal glands and lifestyle habits take on a bigger role in how you feel. Supporting your body now helps you stay energized, clear-headed, and strong through the transition and beyond.
