Menopause brings changes — your symptoms are real, and support is here.

Menopause is a natural life stage, but it doesn’t always feel natural when symptoms arrive. Menopausal experiences are unique — while some women move through this stage with few changes, others may face symptoms that significantly affect daily life. Hot flushes, mood swings, fatigue, and brain fog can feel like they’re taking over your daily rhythm. These changes are real, and they’re not “just in your head.” The good news? There are natural ways to support your body and ease the transition.

What’s Happening in Your Body?

During perimenopause and menopause, hormones like oestrogen, progesterone,
testosterone, and insulin, shift in unpredictable patterns. This can affect everything from temperature regulation to mood balance and even how clearly you think. Around 85% of women report at least two symptoms, while about 10% of women seek support from their healthcare professional. Each woman’s experience is unique, but some common challenges include:

Hot flushes & night sweats
Sudden waves of heat, flushing, and sweating can feel overwhelming and often
disrupt sleep. These are some of the most recognised menopause symptoms,
affecting many women. They happen because fluctuating oestrogen levels impact your body’s thermostat in the hypothalamus, making it more sensitive to even slight changes in temperature (1).

Mood swings & anxiety
Have you noticed feeling irritable, teary, or restless more often? That’s not “just in
your head.” Oestrogen and progesterone interact closely with brain chemicals like serotonin and GABA, both of which regulate mood and calmness. As these
hormones dip and rise unpredictably, your emotional balance can feel shaken (1).

Brain fog
Struggling to find the right word, unable to concentrate on daily tasks, or forgetting what you came into a room for? Many women describe this as “brain fog.” Oestrogen plays a vital role in cognition and memory, so when levels drop, it can affect how clearly you think and concentrate. The good news is, with support, many women find their mental clarity returns (1).

Urogenital changes
As hormone levels fall, vaginal tissue becomes thinner and less elastic, often leading to dryness, discomfort, or irritation. Lower oestrogen also affects the urinary tract, which is why recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) may occur during this stage. While not always talked about, these changes are very common and there are many ways to support tissue health and comfort (1).

Libido changes
Shifts in sexual desire are a normal part of menopause. For some, intimacy becomes less appealing due to hormonal changes, vaginal dryness, or fatigue, while for others, libido may return or even increase once contraception is no longer a concern. Every experience is unique, and none of them are “wrong” (1).

Fatigue
Feeling like your energy is constantly drained? Hormonal changes can interfere with restorative sleep (especially if hot flushes wake you at night), while stress and life demands add to the picture. It’s no wonder fatigue is one of the most commonly reported symptoms (1).

Other physical changes
Menopause can also influence the body in other subtler ways, such as increased abdominal fat, loss of muscle mass, thinning hair, changes in skin elasticity, bone density shifts, joint aches, palpitations, or trouble sleeping. These symptoms don’t appear for every woman, but they are part of the natural adjustments your body makes (1).

Menopause may bring challenges, but it’s also a time of renewal. With the right support, your body can adapt, and you can move forward feeling calmer, stronger, and more in tune with yourself.

How Herbs Can Help — Femme 365 Spotlight
Herbal medicine has been trusted for centuries to help women navigate times of transition with greater ease and balance. The wisdom of plants offers a natural way to support the body, calm the mind, and nurture resilience when hormones are shifting.

Femme 365 is a scientifically backed blend that brings together carefully selected herbs traditionally used to ease the very challenges many women experience during the
menopausal transition.

• Sage (Salvia officinalis) has long been valued for its cooling properties. Traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to relieve excessive perspiration and support comfort during menopause, sage is often chosen for hot flushes and night sweats. It has also been used to support memory and clear thinking. Beyond its cooling effects, sage has been regarded as a gentle restorative herb that supports the nervous system and promotes calm (1).
• Zizyphus (Zizyphus jujuba) has a long history of traditional use in Chinese
  medicine as a calming herb. It is used to help settle the mind, ease restlessness, and support healthy sleep. Zizyphus has also been traditionally used to relieve hot flushes and night sweats, especially when accompanied by irritability, nervous
  tension, or disturbed sleep. Its soothing qualities have made it a trusted herb for
  women experiencing emotional stress, mild anxiety, or sleep difficulties during
  menopause (2).
• Tribulus (Tribulus terrestris) is traditionally regarded in Western herbal medicine as a restorative tonic for vitality and wellbeing. It has been used to support energy, reduce fatigue, and assist the body during convalescence. Tribulus is also
  traditionally used to support healthy libido and promote confidence. As strengthening and balancing herb, it has long been appreciated for sustaining resilience and supporting vitality through life’s changing stages (3).
• Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) is an Ayurvedic herb often referred to as a “woman’s tonic.” Traditionally used to support women throughout different life stages, Shatavari is valued for its ability to nurture balance and strengthen resilience as cycles shift. In Ayurvedic practice, it is also used as an adaptogen to help the body adapt to stress, promote calm, and support wellbeing. Shatavari has further been valued for its role in supporting vitality and digestive health, making it a gentle all-rounder during menopause (4).
• Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) is a well-known adaptogen traditionally used in European herbal medicine to support the body during times of stress. It has been valued for sustaining mental and physical performance, reducing fatigue, and supporting focus and clarity. Rhodiola has also been traditionally used to promote stamina and resilience, making it a useful herb when stress or low energy affect day-to-day wellbeing. By gently supporting the body’s stress response, Rhodiola has been regarded as a herb that helps maintain vitality and balance through life’s challenges (3).

In addition to these carefully selected herbs, Femme 365 also provides key nutrients that further support wellbeing, energy, and resilience during menopause.

Nutrient Foundations (the Femme 365 nutrient support)

Chromium picolinate
Chromium picolinate is a highly bioavailable form of chromium, a trace mineral that supports healthy metabolism. By helping the body process glucose efficiently, it contributes to balanced energy levels and can assist with maintaining everyday vitality, particularly during life transitions (5).

Potassium iodide
Potassium iodide provides a source of iodine, an essential nutrient needed for healthy thyroid function. The thyroid helps regulate metabolism, energy production, and mental clarity. Adequate iodine intake supports overall wellbeing and helps maintain energy and balance throughout the day (6).

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D3 is the natural form of vitamin D, important for calcium absorption and supporting healthy bone development and maintenance. It also plays a role in muscle function, immune system health, and general vitality. Ensuring sufficient vitamin D3 helps maintain strength and wellbeing during and after menopause (5).

Together, these carefully chosen herbs and essential nutrients create a holistic formula that supports body, mind, and spirit during the menopausal transition. If you’re experiencing symptoms that feel overwhelming, know that support is available. Femme 365 offers you a gentle yet comprehensive way to navigate change with balance, vitality, and renewed confidence.
