Menopause Self-Care: Sleep, Nutrition & Strength for Women 50+
Menopause Reinvented: Supportive Self‑Care Strategies Every Woman Deserves
Menopause isn’t an ending—it’s a transition. With the right support, it becomes a season of strength, clarity, and renewed vitality.
Hormone‑Savvy Movement
Combine strength training with low‑impact cardio to protect bones, support mood, and maintain muscle. Two to three short sessions a week make a difference.
Nutrition That Soothes and Sustains
- Calcium & Vitamin D for bone health.
- Protein at each meal to preserve muscle.
- Phytoestrogens (flaxseed, soy) may ease symptoms for some.
Restore Sleep
Hot flashes and night sweats can disrupt rest. Keep the room cool, avoid alcohol late, and try a wind‑down routine (stretch, shower, or breathing).
Mind‑Body Practices
Yoga, meditation, and breathwork lower stress hormones and support steady energy.
Break the Silence
Talking openly—with friends, a support group, or your clinician—turns a private struggle into a shared, empowered journey.
FAQ
Do all women need supplements? Not always. Ask your clinician about vitamin D, calcium, or iron based on labs and diet.
What about HRT? It can help some women—discuss benefits and risks with your clinician.
