Menopause as a sacred transition NOT a medical problem
Menopause is not a medical event. It’s a physiological evolution, a natural transition your body was born to navigate. Yet somewhere along the way, society decided this sacred shift should be pathologised, medicated, and feared. It’s time to rewrite that story not only for women, but also for partners, husbands, and fathers who often witness this transformation without the language or tools to understand or support it.
Yes, the symptoms are real, disruptive, and at times distressing — anxiety, mood swings/ flatness, recurrent UTIs, hot flashes, joint pain…
But menopause itself is not a disease. It’s a biological transition, much like puberty, signalling your body’s shift from life-creating to life-enhancing.
The truth? There’s more than one way to move through this phase with awareness, preparation, and holistic support, and it can become one of the most empowering stages of a woman’s life.
When is the right time to start preparing?
The earlier, the better.
Perimenopause, the years leading up to menopause, is when your body begins this recalibration. Preparing your body and mind from your late 30s or early 40s can make the transition far smoother.
Simple habits such as balancing blood sugar, optimising sleep, supporting your gut, and understanding your hormonal blueprint early can set the stage for a more graceful and empowered menopause experience.
Choosing your path: HRT, natural, or Bioharmonised?
Whether you choose hormone therapy (HRT), a natural nutrition-based route, or a bioharmonised approach, there are ways to do it that are safe, holistic, and deeply supportive of your body’s innate intelligence.
What’s essential is a baseline and an understanding of what your body is doing before making decisions about therapy and/ or supplements.
Functional testing & HRT decisions – understand YOUR unique hormonal blueprint
Rather than guessing which symptoms stem from which imbalance or following generic supplement plans, functional tests provide a precise, personalized map of your hormonal health.
The DUTCH test helps determine:
Whether HRT is needed at all or if natural methods may suffice for now
Which hormones (progesterone only or combined HRT) are best suited for YOU
Which delivery form (transdermal or oral) is most effective and safe for YOU
What else needs support first (thyroid, adrenals, or methylation)
With this insight, your chosen path, whether conventional, natural, or a mix of both, shifts from trial-and-error to strategic and informed. Book your DUTCH test with me.
What about Gut–Hormone connection and why Gut health matters during menopause
Your gut isn’t just about digestion, it’s a powerful regulator of hormone metabolism, recycling, and elimination, especially for oestrogen.
A comprehensive GI test can reveal:
The state of your estrobolome (the gut bacteria that influence oestrogen clearance)
Levels of inflammation, microbial imbalance, or leaky gut
Digestive efficiency and nutrient absorption
Markers for immune regulation and potential food intolerances
Even the most advanced HRT or supplement plan won’t work if your gut isn’t functioning optimally. Supporting this internal ecosystem reduces unwanted symptoms, prevents oestrogen dominance, and restores hormonal resilience. Book your GUT test with me.
Nourishing the new YOU – Replenish, Rebalance, Rebuild
As your hormones shift, so do your nutrient needs, metabolism, and the way your body regulates energy, mood, and immunity.
This is not a breakdown, it’s a restructuring. And with the right support, your body can adapt beautifully.
Mineral repletion
Focus on replenishing but be mindful of the sources:
Magnesium – for calmness, sleep, muscle relaxation, and hormone detox
Zinc – for immune and thyroid health, and vaginal tissue repair
Selenium – for thyroid balance and antioxidant protection
These alone can noticeably boost energy, clarity, and resilience.
Nutritional & supplement support
Gentle, evidence-informed tools that work with YOUR biology:
Phytoestrogens found in red clover, fermented soy, and flaxseeds which help modulate oestrogen activity naturally
Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation, support brain function, and nourish vaginal and urogenital tissue
Vitamin E suppositories can help restore and maintain vaginal moisture and comfort
Probiotics especially Lactobacillus crispatus – help rebalance vaginal flora and support urogenital immunity
Hyaluronic acid vaginal gels for non-hormonal hydration and repair
Support Methylation & Detoxification
Hormones must be processed and cleared, not just produced. Support these pathways through:
Eat plenty of cruciferous vegetables (but mind that thyroid!)
Supplements such as DIM, calcium-D-glucarate, and B-complex vitamins
Adequate magnesium, choline, and zinc intake
This helps prevent hormonal recycling and supports healthy oestrogen metabolism.
Emotional recalibration through Homeopathy
Hormonal transitions are emotional as much as physical. This is where constitutional homeopathy becomes incredibly powerful.
Individualised remedies I often use:
Sepia – for emotional flatness, withdrawal, or overwhelm
Lachesis – for intensity, irritability, and sensitivity to heat or tightness
Pulsatilla – for weepiness, emotional tenderness, and hormonal variability
Homeopathy respects the body’s intelligence – it doesn’t override, it harmonises.
Embracing your next chapter – the Empowered phase of Womanhood
This stage of life is not an ending, it’s a refinement.
A time to return to yourself with deeper wisdom, steadier energy, and renewed self-respect.
Menopause invites you to pause and ask:
What do I want my next decades to feel like?
What does vitality mean to me now?
How can I support my body with kindness rather than control?
As hormones settle into their new rhythm, many women discover a freedom and focus they haven’t felt in years. The noise quiets. Clarity rises. The body begins to ask for nourishment, not perfection.
This is your opportunity to become the expert on your own biology, to choose tools that align with your values, not just your symptoms.
And the most powerful medicine of all?
Listening… to your body, to your needs, to your intuition!
There’s no “right” way to move through menopause.
But there is a more informed, intentional, and bioharmonised way and you don’t have to figure it out alone. I offer an integrative, evidence-informed approach to help you navigate this transition with confidence and calm.
