Back in 2020, at 39, I went into an early menopause - but I didn’t realise it straight away. Looking back though, the signs were all there, I just didn’t recognise them for what they were.
The hot flashes that hit me at night, waking me up soaked in sweat.
The sudden heart palpitations that made me feel anxious for no reason.
The kind of sadness that didn’t feel like depression, but more like a deep heaviness that wouldn’t lift.
The insomnia that left me wired, exhausted, and staring at the ceiling at 3am.
In the end, it turned out it was menopause. 🫤
Once I knew, I looked into hormone replacement therapy, but it wasn’t an option for me at the time. And yet I didn’t want to just sit with it, feeling powerless and physically worn out.
So I did what I always do when something big affects my health: I started researching. Properly and thoroughly, because I needed to understand what was happening in my body, and what might actually help.
And that’s what led me to the world of natural hormone support.
What I Found in the Research (That Actually Made Sense)
The more I read, the more reassured I became that natural support for menopause symptoms isn't just hype, it’s backed by a growing body of evidence - not in a miracle-pill kind of way, but in a consistent support over time way from things like...
✅ Maca Root
One of the most well-studied adaptogens for women in midlife. Maca has been shown to:
Reduce hot flashes and night sweats
Improve mood and libido
Support overall hormonal balance👉 Study: Maca and postmenopausal women👉 Systematic review
✅ Black Cohosh
One of the most clinically researched herbs for menopause symptoms. Studies show it can:
Reduce hot flash frequency and severity
Support mood and sleep👉 Study: Efficacy in menopausal symptoms
✅ Chasteberry (Vitex)
Helpful during perimenopause, especially for:
Progesterone support
Regulating irregular cycles
Supporting emotional balance
✅ Red Clover
A plant-based phytoestrogen shown to:
Bind gently to estrogen receptors
Support bone health and reduce hot flashes👉 Study on red clover in menopause
Learing about these natural remedies is why I now recommend exploring blends that contain a combination of plant-based ingredients, known to ease symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, mood swings, and hormonal imbalance (you can check out the one I personally love here - scroll down from the "shop" tab, it's easy to spot 💛)
Why I Recommend Looking Into Natural Support
After everything I’ve read, and everything I’ve personally been through with early menopause, I genuinely believe that natural support is a path worth exploring.
Not because it’s trendy,not because it’s “the easy option" but because, when chosen wisely, these ingredients can offer real, evidence-backed support for symptoms that so many of us quietly endure.
The research is there and the results are building. And for women who want something gentle, plant-based, and aligned with how they want to feel, natural hormone support can be a steadying, empowering step forward.
It’s not about fixing everything overnight - it’s about creating small shifts that support your body as it changes, physically, mentally and emotionally.
(If you're ready to start exploring natural menopause support, I recommend looking into formulas like the Hormonal Balance For Woman one from LiveGood. It’s made with care, backed by science, and created with women like us in mind! You'll find it under the "Shop" tab 🛍️)
A Final Word
Wherever you are on this crazy rollercoaster ride of a menopause journey - feeling off, unsure, or overwhelmed, I see you.
Natural support may not fix everything, but it can absolutely help. Especially when it’s grounded in research, backed by experience, and chosen with care.
This isn’t about hype or quick fixes, it’s about small steps that make a big difference, and the kind of support that meets you where you are.
