Sober, sassy, and badassy. Here are some of my favourite tried and loved drinks, books, podcasts, products and everything surrounding living a full, happy, booze-free life.

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's 15 years ago. 13 years ago we discovered a small cancerous tumor on my thyroid and had it removed. I eat gluten free, take Armour Thyroid (mostly because I never felt good while on Synthroid/Levothyroxine) and I take supplements that help support my gut, liver and kidneys. I am human-sometimes I fall off the wagon of consistency with supplements, but when I feel my Hashimoto's starting to flare I go back on this regimen and it helps to calm everything down. In addition to supplements I practice hot yoga (the best detox IMO), practice diaphragmatic breathing to calm my Vagus nerve, use a rebounder periodically for lymphatic drainage and I have accupuncture one per month. It's frustrating to have to figure all of this out on my own, and it's not cheap, but there is nothing worse than feeling crappy and nothing better than feeling good so I do what I can to control what I can control

Everything in this list meets that standard.

3am. Wide awake. Too hot, then too cold. Mind racing. If this is your night, this list was made for you. Perimenopause sleep disruption isn't a mindset problem, but a hormonal event driven by declining progesterone, fluctuating estrogen, elevated cortisol, and a misfiring hypothalamic thermostat. Every product here targets one or more of those specific mechanisms, and every recommendation comes directly from the evidence-based toolkit I cover in my full guide. One rule before you shop: start with magnesium glycinate. It has the strongest research base of anything in this list and most perimenopausal women are deficient in it. Build from there.
