items Menopause arrived during the hardest time in my life and the combo really hit me hard. It was a rough ride for a couple of years but these are some of the things that are getting me through.
Ladies, if it's one thing we are not getting enough of it's FIBER! It is vital to keeping our gut bacteria happy which affects everything. Chia seeds are an easy way to slip in a little fiber and omega 3s to anything. Just either soak them for 20 min...

Fiber is our friend! I try to get enough from diet but it's always good to have back up. I love benefiber because you literally can't tell it's there. I put it in water. And CANT TASTE ANYTHING. Benefiber is also my choice as there's no added sugar t...
Benefiber
I love this site for fitness. I've read that at menopause, it's best to do fitness that isn't too intense (like HIIT). This has dance, sculpting, and meditation. Some of the sculpting classes can be too challenging for me but they always give modific...

I know it feels silly paying for 'luxury' dental floss but you only get one set of teeth and flossing is essential to keeping them healthy. I'm always looking for a bargain but this dental floss is WORTH IT!

It's important to get protein throughout the day but it can be tricky to get enough. I've tried a bunch of different protein powders and this is the one I think tastes the best and it's plant based for you vegetarians out there. I love the salted ca...

This may not be menopause specific, but a great on-the-go snack that's healthy and fills you up (and yes, has protein and fiber) is an apple with one of these packets. You don't even need a knife- you can squirt a little bit straight from the packet ...

The quest for getting enough protein is hard but if you want treat yourself AND get a good dose of protein (18-20g!), then these hit the spot. And they're tasty too!

After years of resisting, I finally caved and got some Birks. They are worth the hype and keeping our bodies comfortable is key in this phase of our lives. I like the 'Mayari' style the best - I think they are the most comfortable (and the cutest!) I...
Mayari Birko-Flor
Expensive but worth it. My hair has turned so dry and brittle and this helps. I leave it on overnight or at least before a workout and shower so I get an hour or two with it on. Unlike a traditional conditioner, it absorbs into your hair quite a bit ...
No.3 Hair Perfector - OLAPLEX | Ulta Beauty
Obsessed with this lip gloss. The Hot Chocolate color looks dark but is very sheer and looks good on everyone. (But all the colors are gorgeous.) It's not goopy and has a great feel. It's something easy you can throw on and look polished but not over...

Menopause wrecks havoc on your waistline. But I really do love wine! Fresh Wine has fewer sugar and calories so I feel a little better when I indulge.

Every doctor I've heard speak about aging well have said to drink at least one cup of green tea a day for reasons from antioxidants to fat burning. I don't love green tea so the mint helps!

If you are looking into menopause health, you are going to hear how important magnesium is. But there are so many types and it can be hard to choose. (And some magnesium types can be rough on digestion.) This type and brand was recommended by severa...

It's a rough realization to discover it's time for....readers. And when I went to drug stores, they were all pretty ugly. Peepers have stylish and fun ones. If you need glasses to read the menu, you might as well have fun with it!!

Sleep is an issue during menopause and normal cortisol levels may disrupted. There's studies that camomile may help with cortisol and it's definitely been shown to have a calming effect on the body. A cup of this type of tea could be helpful for wind...

Omega-3s are super important at any age but especially during the menopause years. This brand has been recommended by numerous sites (and my mom's doctor!)

Oh, the irony that we start getting serious about sun protection when a lot of damage is done but here we are. Love this shrug as is it's not cumbersome like some full sized rash guards are and still covers the shoulders, chest and arms. I already wa...
Women's Active Swim Shrug
Love this app and the trainers on it. Tons of great workouts for free. I use this primarily for the weight workouts which are so important for middle aged ladies but there's a lot of other options such as stretching, cardio and Pilates

The day after a cocktail or two hit a lot harder than they used to. I've found that a ton of hydration the night before helps. The kids these days swear by liquid iv, and it feels like it helps. I chug a glass of water with a packet before I got to s...
