Missing doses used to stress me out constantly — I'd get to lunch and genuinely couldn't remember if I took my morning pill or not.

I remember the exact moment I started taking my cognitive changes seriously. I was mid-sentence in a conversation I had initiated about something I knew inside out, and the word I needed simply vanished. Not slowed. Vanished. I stood there for a few seconds feeling completely unlike myself. And then the familiar, unwelcome question: is this something serious? It took me a while to understand what was actually happening, and longer still to distinguish what was hormonal and transitional from what needed a different kind of attention. This list is organised around everything I found in that process: the supplements that address the actual mechanisms, the lifestyle tools that support the brain during perimenopause, and the resources that helped me track my own patterns and stop “catastrophising”. Everything here has earned a place on my shelf.
I created this collection to share some of my favorite supplements that I incorporate into my everyday routine. I also have a small list of vitamins and supplements I give to my daughter as well! I have tried several brands over the years and these are truly some of my absolute favorites

Every appointment felt like a pop quiz I hadn't studied for. My doctor would read off numbers and I'd just nod, having zero idea what my blood pressure did the other 364 days a year. If you're tired of white-coat syndrome messing with your readings, or you just want real data between checkups, this is everything I use to actually understand what's going on inside my body. Took me a solid year of trial and error so you can skip straight to what works.
Every single night at 3AM my eyes would snap open and I'd lie there staring at the ceiling doing math about how tired I'd be tomorrow. Doctors kept saying ‘sleep hygiene’ like I hadn't already googled that 400 times. So I kept a detailed sleep diary for two weeks, brought it to my appointment, and we finally figured out what was actually going on. This list is for anyone who's exhausted but can't stay asleep — the products, trackers, and bedroom fixes that came out of that whole process. Took me months of bad sleep so you can skip straight to what worked.
If you're the person who gets to 4pm and realizes you've had nothing but coffee, this is for you. I kept forgetting to drink water until I started sticking visual trackers in my planner. Something about peeling and checking off those little boxes rewired my brain. Took me way too many dehydration headaches to figure this out, so here's everything that worked.

The things I actually buy again instead of trying something new every month. The filter was simple: it has to run out on a predictable schedule, the refill has to be the same product rather than a new flavour or variant, and I have to have a reason to keep it on the shelf beyond habit. Supplements are the daily base, sleep is the nightly reset, pantry and coffee are the weekly burn rate, and skin and pet care are the six-week cycle. I restock on a fixed rhythm so I am not making a fresh decision every time a bottle runs out. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

And another huge thing that helped me that is free, is acceptance, knowing that you aren’t going to sleep sometimes and get up do something calming in the mean time. Reading books, journaling, or listening to calming music is a life saver 🫶
