Life changes and that can be energising. Menopause isn’t a medical problem; it’s a natural shift. At Windback, we see it as a time to recalibrate, restore balance, and embrace well-being in a new light. If you’ve noticed changes to your energy, mood, sleep, or overall rhythms, know that you’re absolutely not alone.
What is menopause?
Menopause marks the end of menstrual cycles, officially confirmed after 12 consecutive months without bleeding. The years before this point are called perimenopause, when hormones like oestrogen and progesterone naturally fluctuate. These shifts trigger many of the physical and emotional changes women notice.
When does it happen?
For most women, menopause occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, though timing is unique to each person. The transition can last several years and is influenced by lifestyle, genetics, and overall health. Sometimes it may arrive earlier due to surgery, medical treatment, or other factors.
Common changes you may notice
Some women experience only minor changes, while others feel a wider range of effects, which may include:
- Hot flushes or night sweats
- Disrupted sleep
- Mood swings or irritability
- Shifts in libido
- Brain fog or memory lapses
- Weight changes or fatigue
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
Beyond these, lower oestrogen can influence long-term health, including bone strength, cholesterol, and cardiovascular resilience.
Lifestyle and natural support
While every woman’s experience is different, some foundations support nearly everyone:
- Move daily with strength training, walking, or yoga
- Eat nutrient-rich foods with plenty of protein and whole grains
- Prioritise restorative sleep with calming routines
- Manage stress through mindfulness, breathwork, or meditation
- Reduce triggers such as smoking, excess alcohol, or caffeine
A metabolic perspective: Insights from Dr Casey Means
Dr Casey Means highlights the link between metabolic health and hormonal transitions. As oestrogen declines, women may become more sensitive to blood sugar fluctuations, making metabolic stability crucial. Balancing meals, limiting refined sugars, and noticing energy shifts after eating can help smooth the transition and support long-term health.
