Need help with menopause? Here are my top 5 vegan supplement recommendations!

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

I was walking through my local health food store recently and was shocked at just how many supplement options there are.

No wonder everyone is so confused! Without guidance, how would you ever know which supplements to choose?

So today I’m rounding up my top 5 vegan supplements that I recommend for menopause!

  1. An omega-3 supplement containing DHA and EPA – decreases inflammation and supports brain health, eye health, and mood.
  2. Magnesium bisglycinate – a natural sleep aid, important in bone mineralization, helps with muscle relaxation and nerve function.
  3. Inositol – a relative of the B vitamin family, can help with insulin sensitivity and regulates hormones, improves mood and decreases anxiety.
  4. Branched chain amino acids / essential amino acids – the amino acids that are not produced by the body and need to come from food, helps boost protein absorption, maintaining muscle mass, and can help with fatigue.
  5. Rhodiola – adaptogen (herb that helps the body adapt to stress), taken for longevity, helps improve energy, supports adrenal function and reduces the stress hormone cortisol.

When it comes to supplements, these are only basic recommendations! Remember that it’s best to connect with a health practitioner to get personalized recommendations for YOUR health.

Take care,

Hi Reader, How are you feeling this week? I've been getting over a cold -- my first one in over two years! It finally caught up with me, and my body made it clear that I needed to slow down. So, this past week has been all about broccoli chickpea soup (thankfully, I had lots stored in the freezer!) with a few tablespoons of hemp seeds for extra protein and healthy fats, and endless mugs of hot water with lemon and fresh, grated ginger. Simple, nourishing, and exactly what I needed. Looking...
