Menopause is a natural transition, yet many women experience symptoms that make it challenging. How we respond or react to that shift can be influenced by how the women of the family did the transition. How we react can come from learned responses already in the cells of the body. This can be changed.
Hormonal shifts can lead to fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and disrupted sleep. However, with greater self-understanding, the right approach for you is uncovered, and menopause can be managed with greater ease and transition through balance.
Understanding Hormonal Changes
During menopause, hormone levels fluctuate, affecting everything from mood to metabolism. Factors that influence hormonal balance include:
- Diet and nutrient absorption
- Stress and cortisol levels
- Exercise and movement
- Sleep quality
- Gut health and digestion
- Environmental toxins, mental negative thoughts and endocrine responses affecting chemical digestion in disruptors
- Emotional well-being and mindset
When we fear change, or feel uncomfortable with change in our life, the body reflects this agitation and struggles to regulate hormones, especially the homeostasis of fluids affecting symptoms like hot flushes, anxiety, skin conditions, and low energy and depression or anger can appear. Addressing these areas, and understanding your own processes can provide relief and long-term support. Once you know, you can change anything

At Natural Health Therapy, Clare Nott offers individualised treatments that help women transition through the changes of premenopausal symptoms and menopause naturally. Reflexology, massage, lymphatic work, energy healing all work to reduce stress, improve circulation, and support the nervous system and internal communication processes from the brain to every cell. These therapies help regulate hormone responses and promote emotional balance, and a clearer mental approach.
Herbal Remedies for Hormonal Support
Certain herbs have been used for centuries to ease menopause symptoms:
- Ginseng – Supports mood, sleep, and energy levels
- Red Raspberry – Helps regulate heavy menstrual flow
- Rhodiola Rosea – An adaptogen that enhances resilience to stress
- Dong Quai – A traditional Chinese herb that supports circulation and hormonal balance
Incorporating these herbs into daily routines through teas, supplements, or muscle-tested blends can provide added relief. The ability to absorb beneficial nutrients must be checked
The Role of Mindset in Menopause
Mental and emotional health are crucial during this transition. Many women unknowingly carry generational beliefs about menopause, influencing their experience. Shifting to a mindset of acceptance and self-care can transform how this phase unfolds.
An affirmation to support this journey:
“I willingly accept and am open to absorbing all that nourishes me, in clarity, calmness, balance, purity of being, that inner strength that comes with self-awareness, faith in self, and peace of mind. I experience such gentleness, the tenderness, and love of the pure heart. My life is the joy-filled expression of my true self.”
