The 5 Keys to Manage Menopause
The journey of life for women is anything but a straight line. Throughout life’s different stages, we experience change around us– and within us in our own bodies. Lynette Sheppard, a woman of faith and an accomplished blogger, speaker, teacher and Certified Leadership Parenting Coach is an advocate for self-learning, and explains how we can anticipate and manage these changes. On her personal and menopause-focused blogs, she mentioned the many tendencies menopausal women may experience throughout their hormonal journey.
“Menopause typically unfolds over several years and is characterized by the body’s gradual reduction in estrogen and progesterone production. Specifically, this transition can start in a woman’s 40s and last into her 50s. The journey, often unpredictable, involves symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. These symptoms stem from the body’s adjustment to lower hormone levels. For instance, a drop in estrogen can lead to increased irritability or anxiety, while changes in progesterone may disrupt sleep patterns.”

She explains how menopause, while being completely natural, is often a very challenging phase in a woman’s life. Such shifts in our body can affect our mental health and reignite old bad habits and even substance abuse. Therefore, it is integral to know your stressors and triggers, and seek support by way of shifting your mindset and choices towards your overall improved health and wellness.
Common Problems Need Holistic Solutions.
From sleep disturbances and mood swings, Menopause brings a variety of different symptoms that can drastically affect a woman’s day-to-day. However, the solution to each concern should be approached with our health in mind– For example, the answer to insomnia or lack of sleep should not be a glass of wine, which can present a whole new range of health issues, but more physical activity throughout the day and a peaceful sleeping environment. Such instances of shifting the mindset and answering these concerns with holistic solutions instead of harmful substances, is key to managing Menopause.Here are some of our recommended ways you can push back against relapsing to old or bad habits, and make more health-concious steps to relief and self-improvement.
5 KEYS TO UNLOCKING BETTER HEALTH DURING MENOPAUSE
1. Anticipate & Regulate
When you experience an early sign of relapse or if you strongly feel the taxing symptoms of menopause, the first step is recognition. These symptoms may come in the form of disrupted sleep, cravings for substances, and so on. It is vital to recognize these within our bodies and habits, and form an action plan or awareness of how to minimize or answer these issues with holistic solutions.
2. Make the Healthy Choice
Regular exercise, by starting with low-impact activities such as yoga or walking, is one of the best ways to combat the symptoms. Make small changes to your daily routine to incorporate movement as often as you can, and work your way up. These small changes can drastically help regulate mood, improve sleep and keep your body working at its best for longer. Accompanied by a healthy diet of vitamin D and calcium rich foods is recommended, since bone health may be compromised during this time. As soon as you try including regular exercise and a balanced diet into your system, you should feel the benefits of this rather early in combatting the undesired effects of menopause.
3. Mental & Social Support
Mental health stems from your physical well-being but is regulated with healthy socializing. Explore ways to spend time with loved ones and incorporate healthy conversations and opportunities for activity. This not only unloads some stress from the changes in your body, it also provides unique methods to cope. Adding therapy is also integral, which will give you a positive and healthy outlet to manage these hormonal fluctuations. All these foster a sense of community and understanding, further reinforcing your resilience.
4. Medical and Supplemental Integration
After consulting your doctor or medical expert’s advice, it is also recommended to add in medical intervention to help support your body through these changes. Consider Hormone Replacement Therapy or all-natural solutions such as La Miiel.

5. Mindful Practices
By reshifting your mindset towards patience, acceptance and love– you create a more grounded and healthy foundation for your self-care practice. This allows you to embrace the many changes one goes through in menopause, and prepare for all that is to come. Opt for 5-minute medication mantras instead of unhealthy vices, and create the space for more movement and a balanced diet.
