Why Healthy Living Helps Menopause
Menopause is a natural stage of life, but it can bring challenging changes like weight gain, fatigue, mood swings, and hormonal imbalances. The good news? A healthy lifestyle can help you regain energy, confidence, and balance, making this transition smoother and more empowering. I realised that in the menopause, I need to ensure that I focus on my wellbeing and health, what previously worked for me before, did not work and give me the results I used to get. Self-care was also a key element, mindset, nutrition and exercise.
🌟 The Role of Fitness in Menopause
Staying active during menopause is one of the most powerful ways to support your body and mind. Here’s how:
✔ Boosts Metabolism & Reduces Weight Gain – Hormonal changes can slow metabolism, but strength training & movement help maintain muscle and burn fat.
✔ Improves Mood & Reduces Stress – Exercise releases endorphins (feel-good hormones), helping combat mood swings, anxiety, and brain fog.
✔ Strengthens Bones & Joints – As oestrogen levels drop, women are at higher risk of osteoporosis. Strength training and weight-bearing exercises help maintain bone density.
✔ Supports Heart Health – Cardiovascular exercise reduces the risk of heart disease, which becomes more common after menopause.
💪 The right movement helps you feel strong, energised, and in control of your body.
🥑 How Nutrition Supports Hormonal Balance
Your diet plays a key role in managing menopause symptoms. By focusing on nutrient-dense foods, you can support hormone balance, energy levels, and gut health.
Key Nutrients for Menopause:
🌿 Protein – Supports muscle health & metabolism (lean meats, eggs, plant-based protein shakes)
🥑 Healthy Fats – Balances hormones & reduces inflammation (avocados, nuts, olive oil)
🌾 Fibre & Probiotics – Supports gut health & digestion (whole grains, fermented foods, prebiotic fibre)
🍓 Antioxidants & Collagen – Helps with skin, joints & ageing gracefully (berries, collagen supplements)
🚀 Eating the right foods helps stabilise hormones, improve digestion, and boost energy naturally!
🌿 Arbonne Products That Help
Alongside whole foods and movement, I use and recommend Arbonne’s plant-based products to support gut health, energy, and hormonal balance.
✔ Gut Health Digestion & Microbiome Support – A blend of prebiotics, probiotics & digestive enzymes to support gut health. This can be from a selection of Arbonne Gut Health products such as GreenSynergy Elixir, Omnigut Daily Beneficial Bacteria, BioticSticks, GutHealth Digestion & Microbiome Support.
✔ Collagen Support – Helps with skin elasticity, joint health, and hair strength during menopause. Arbonne products are vegan and cruelty-free and this means that in the SkinElixir Collagen Builder, there is no animal cartilage or fish scales that you would find in other collagen supplements. The GreenSynergy Elixir also contains collagen builder.
✔ Energy Fizz Sticks – A natural boost without caffeine crashes, supporting energy & focus.
✔ Vegan Protein Shakes – A clean, plant-based source of protein to help maintain muscle & balance blood sugar. Arbonne's pea, rice & cranberry protein contain Branched-Chain Amino Acids which help maintain muscle strength (important in the menopause), supports muscle recovery and help regulate metabolism. It is rich in antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress which can contribute to hormonal imbalances. Pea and rice protein are easy to digest compared to dairy-based proteins such as whey.
