Menopause as a Superpower: How to Look & Feel Amazing Through Hormonal Changes
What springs to mind when you read the word, ‘menopause’? While menopause and perimenopause can come with pesky symptoms, our award-winning, clinically tested Morning & Night supplement can ease symptoms by balancing hormones, improving sleep quality and strengthening your skin, hair and nails. While menopause has long been a misunderstood chapter in the journey of womanhood, often painted in a less-than-flattering light, a menopause renaissance has taken place in recent years – empowering women to take charge of this new (and even exciting) chapter.
The Changing Landscape of Menopause
According to the NHS, menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, marking the cessation of menstruation and the end of a woman’s reproductive years. While the transition can take anywhere from a few months to several years, many women experience perimenopause, the stage leading up to menopause, for an extended period – sometimes starting in their late 30s or early 40s. During this time, hormone levels, particularly estrogen and progesterone, fluctuate significantly, which can lead to a wide range of physical and emotional changes.
These changes can be unsettling: hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, sleep disturbances, mood swings, and thinning skin are common complaints. But while the symptoms can seem overwhelming, they are far from insurmountable. The power of menopause lies in its ability to signal a shift, a moment for women to take control, embrace self-care, and lean into their evolving bodies with a new sense of confidence and purpose. Menopause is not a destination but a journey – and it’s one that can be approached with renewed energy and self-awareness.
Embracing New Energy
Without worrying about birth control or periods, many women find that menopause presents an opportunity to rediscover their true selves. The absence of menstruation and the physical toll it can sometimes bring can bring a newfound sense of freedom, and what once may have been an exhausting cycle of hormonal fluctuations becomes an invitation for a fresh perspective. In fact, research published in Menopause (the journal of The North American Menopause Society) suggests that many women experience a surge of energy and focus after the initial menopausal symptoms subside.
With the right care, menopause can transform into a period of creative reinvention. “It's a time to prioritize what truly matters,” says Dr. Sarah Jarvis, a leading British GP and menopause expert. “The hormonal shifts may feel jarring at first, but with the right mindset and support, this stage offers the potential for renewed physical and mental clarity. Women are often more confident, more comfortable in their own skin, and more attuned to their needs at this time."
Supplements and Menopause
During menopause, nutritional support plays a critical role in managing symptoms and supporting overall well-being. HRT, supplements or a combination of the two can be invaluable in helping women ease the transition and enhance their health during this time of change.
Phytoestrogens: Plant-based compounds that mimic estrogen in the body, phytoestrogens have been shown to alleviate hot flashes and night sweats. A common source is Flaxseed Oil, present in our Morning & Night supplement. The Journal of the American College of Nutrition published a study in 2017, noting that phytoestrogen supplementation could help mitigate these menopausal symptoms, providing a natural alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Vitamin D and Calcium: Menopause brings a reduction in estrogen, which can affect bone density. This is why adequate Vitamin D and calcium intake is paramount. Studies have demonstrated that Vitamin D, present in our Morning & Night supplement, can reduce the risk of osteoporosis and support overall bone health. Together with calcium, these vitamins contribute to stronger bones and improved overall strength.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in foods like salmon, walnuts, and flaxseed, omega-3s have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, which can benefit menopausal women suffering from joint pain or inflammation. Omega-3s, present in our Morning & Night supplement, may also assist in maintaining brain health, helping combat memory loss and brain fog, common complaints during menopause.
B Vitamins: As hormonal fluctuations impact the nervous system, B Vitamins—particularly B6 and B12—play an essential role in mood regulation and energy levels. A 2019 study in The Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology revealed that B Vitamins, present in our Morning & Night supplement, could help manage symptoms of depression and anxiety, both of which can be exacerbated by the hormonal changes of menopause.
Magnesium Malate: For many women, sleep disturbances are one of the more frustrating aspects of menopause. Magnesium Malate, present in our Morning & Night supplement, a mineral known for its calming properties, can promote better sleep and alleviate feelings of restlessness or anxiety.
Skin Health and Menopause
As estrogen levels decline, collagen production slows, which can lead to dry skin, fine lines, and a loss of elasticity. For many women, these physical changes can feel distressing. However, the good news is that menopause doesn't have to mean the end of glowing skin.
Hydration is key. Skin’s moisture barrier weakens as hormonal fluctuations deplete natural oils, leading to dryness. Our Morning & Night supplement nourishes and hydrates the skin on a cellular level, with ingredients like Glycine and Lysine.
Mental Wellness: Embracing the Inner Transformation
Menopause is as much about mental transformation as it is about physical change. The fluctuating hormones can sometimes cause mood swings, irritability, and anxiety. Yet, this phase also brings an opportunity for introspection and mental growth. Meditation, yoga, and mindfulness practices and the right supplement can all be beneficial in cultivating a sense of calm and balance. In our independent clinical trial, 84% of participants reported an improvement in mood with the support of Morning & Night.
Stress management during menopause is vital for keeping cortisol (the stress hormone) in check, which can contribute to weight gain and exacerbate menopausal symptoms. By adopting a holistic approach that prioritizes mental health, women can embrace the empowerment that menopause offers.
These changes can be unsettling: hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, sleep disturbances, mood swings, and thinning skin are common complaints. But while the symptoms can seem overwhelming, they are far from insurmountable. The power of menopause lies in its ability to signal a shift, a moment for women to take control, embrace self-care, and lean into their evolving bodies with a new sense of confidence and purpose. Menopause is not a destination but a journey – and it’s one that can be approached with renewed energy and self-awareness.
Menopause as Rebirth
From the cessation of periods to a reduction in oily skin and more, menopause can become your superpower. Reframe the transition as a rebirth – an opportunity to take stock of one’s life, focus on wellness, and redefine what it means to listen to your needs. Take a menopause ‘gap year’ abroad, sign up to a pottery class, reconnect with old friends, or do whatever ‘rebirth’ means to you.

Addressing nutrient deficiencies requires a multifaceted approach – consult your doctor, amend your diet and reach for a supplement designed to support whole body health. Our biologist-developed Morning & Night supplement contains a proprietary blend of 28 Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids, Adaptogens and Omega 3s to improve the way you look and feel.
