Great tips here, thank you! I'm 61 and well-past menopause. For sleeplessness, I love your suggestion about eating less at night. For me, this is super helpful! Also, I cut way back on sugar. (BTW your carrot cake muffin I got today at Lunchette was SO good!) I like what you said at the beginning of your post - everyone experiences menopause slightly differently. I can no longer be in the sun. I love rainy days. My body cannot process alcohol, so no more of that! And sometimes I shave my head for the hell of it because it feels good. XO thank you for your delicious Lunchette treats.

I love ALL of that!! I can process about one sip of wine. Literally. But I don’t miss it at all. Thank you for the info!!!

For me, Wild Yam Cream daily is magic! I know that it might need to be vetted if you have cancer history but it has helped me to regulate my hormones for years now. Love, love, love. Also doing an herbal supplement/tincture that is for perimenopause. I completely agree that the more we share the better off we all are. I’m working on a website to collect our wisdom and share in one place 💖

I love growing herbs and the lovely herbal aromas. I confess I haven't learned the art of consuming herbs/herbal teas. I just love the smells and they can impact my moods and such a good way.

Hi! Oh wow! I'm totally interested in that and will run it by my obgyn to see what she thinks. What is the herbal tincture that you use? I'd like to hear more on that!

Really insightful article. Your wisdom is profound. I would just add that my doctor prescribed the Gaisha balls, 30 minutes per day, several days week (while doing mouvement) which is very common in Asia, plus the new magical hyaluronic acid, is an intimate non-hormonal gel!
