These are the supplements and everyday basics I actually use to support my energy, mood, sleep and overall well being through perimenopause.

I take 2 capsules 3X/day. Although it's marketed for cravings, I've found it especially helpful for calming my mind and helping me sleep at night. It's one of the supplements I notice when I accidentally miss a dose.

I take 2 capsules every morning. This was one of the first things that noticeably helped my perimenopause symptoms, especially mood swings, cramping, bloating and cycle-related fatigue. I ntoiced and difference within my first full cycle and I still keep it as part of my dialy routine even though I now use HRT too.

I take this before bed when my stomach is feeling ok. I find it helps me wind down, sleep better and eases some of the cramping and body aches that can come with hormonal waves. If my stomach is sensitive, I skip it that night.

I use this every morning. I love the spray because it's quick and easy, which makes me much more likely to use it consistently. My vitamin D levels improved after I made it part of my regular routine.

I use about a half a scoop in water in the morning. It helps me stay hydrated and I especially appreciate it on days when I'm feeling tired, fogge or a little off. Pink lemonade is my favorite flavor and this one doesn't bother my skin the way some electrolyte mixes have.

Hormone Therapy and Medical Support

Professional care and resources that have helped me navigate perimenopause and find the right treatment for my symptoms.

I have connected with a clinician at Midi Health in order to manage my perimenopause symptoms. The visits are online and covered by insurances. I have begun hormone therapy through Midi and although we're still fine tuning my doses, I am feeling much better. What I especially appreciate is that my clinician listens to what's actually happening with my symptoms and adjusts my treatment accordingly. I can't recommend Midi enough for perimenopause and menopause support.
