Menopause can be a confusing time. And, unlike puberty, too often, women going through “the change” don’t have an older woman to walk them through it. That’s why we’re here to help! We have resources (and a few classes) to help you ease your way through this natural transition in life.
It’s important to remember that hormones don’t function in isolation—they work in a beautifully synergistic system, where each hormone influences and responds to others. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, insulin, and thyroid hormones all interact like instruments in an orchestra. When one is out of tune, the whole body feels it.
For example, high cortisol from chronic stress can suppress progesterone, leading to anxiety or irregular cycles. Blood sugar spikes can disrupt estrogen levels. Low thyroid function can affect mood, metabolism, and fertility. It’s all connected.
That’s why hormonal balance is about more than just one gland or one hormone—it’s about supporting the body as a whole. Nourishing sleep, clean nutrition, liver support, stress management, and targeted supplementation help bring the system back into harmony—so women can feel vibrant, focused, and emotionally steady throughout every stage of life.

DIY Personal Lubricant
Menopause, perimenopause, and other hormone disruptions may cause occasional vaginal dryness. It’s a sign that your body isn’t making enough estrogen. However, while you work on getting your hormones under control, which should be your primary goal, there are topical DIYs that can support healthy hormone levels, while offering healthy lubrication.
Make Your Own Suppositories
Making your own suppositories is inexpensive and way easier than you think! Amazon even has a handy suppository mold kit that makes it super simple! And since you’re in control of the whole process, you get to choose for yourself which essential oils you want to add.
