Menopause Wellness: Natural Ways to Support Your Body Through the Change
Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years, typically occurring between ages 45-55. While it’s a normal transition, the hormonal shifts can bring various symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and changes in skin elasticity. Understanding how to navigate menopause with confidence can make this phase more manageable.
Understanding Menopausal Symptoms
The decline in estrogen and progesterone production during menopause leads to various physical and emotional symptoms. Common experiences include:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Vaginal dryness
- Sleep disturbances
- Mood changes
- Weight fluctuations
- Thinning hair and dry skin
As explained in our blog Understanding Menopause: Symptoms, Natural Remedies and Wellness Tips, these changes result from your body adapting to new hormonal levels.
Natural Support for Menopause
While menopause is inevitable, suffering through symptoms isn’t. Consider these natural approaches:
1. Phytoestrogen-Rich Foods
Plant-based estrogens found in soy, flaxseeds, and legumes can help ease symptoms by mimicking estrogen in the body. Our Miri Feminine Essence contains pueraria mirifica, a potent natural phytoestrogen source that supports hormonal balance.
2. Collagen for Skin and Joint Health
Declining estrogen affects collagen production, leading to drier skin and joint discomfort. Supplementing with Miri Collagen Protein can help maintain skin elasticity and support joint health during this transition.
3. Regular Exercise
Weight-bearing exercises help maintain bone density, while yoga and pilates improve flexibility and stress management – particularly helpful for the mood swings that often accompany hormonal changes.

As discussed in Navigating Menopause Naturally, a whole-body approach yields the best results:
- Prioritize sleep hygiene
- Practice stress-reduction techniques
- Stay socially connected
- Maintain a nutrient-rich diet
- Consider supplements to fill nutritional gaps
