It is important as a woman to be aware of your body's energy level - especially on a busy day.
But many of us do not think of that the body is like a battery, that needs to be charged and we do not know the signs when the battery is discharged.
Many times we just go on even though the battery is flat. It has major consequences for the body and especially during menopause where our energy tank can already be challenged.
But in fact, if you have been running on the reserves for many years, then it influences your menopause and make it more challenging than it needs to be.
Learn what drains your energy battery and how you can charge the battery and in general become much more aware of what you are spending your time and energy on.
Buy yourself a Garmin vivosmart watch 4 to messure your body battery, your sleep routine, your stress level ect.
It can messure your heart rate variability. It is regulated by your ans.
It shows when you are in sympathetic vs parasympathetic state.
Find out your docking stations that can give you more energy through your daily life e.g
- a trip to Toscana in 🇮🇹
Energy is something that is charged as we sleep, restitute, take brakes ect.
Do you blame yourself for not providing enough. You can get more stressed over not giving enough as a woman
Signs of low energy battery:
- sadness
- weight gain
- cravings
- not wanting to see others
- decreased sex drive
- sleep problems
- dizziness
- you wake up more tired
- burnout
- muscles and joints feel tired and heavy
- memory problems and difficulty concentrating
- cravings after coffee, alcohol, sugar
- ect.
Many women have felt the low energy for a long time, but have not listened to their own body
Many women don’t eat enough food
Tips for getting more energy:
- get enough sleep
- do earthing
- orient
- mindfulness
- chai Chi, yoga
- eat healthy
- massages
- healing (reiki ect.)
- daily walks
- Eat enough food
- take brakes during the day
- do breathing exercises
- give yourself permission to do absolutely nothing
- give yourself permission to be Human
- take Care of your energy / your battery level
What drains your energy;
Selfcritism, talking down at yourself
Perfectionism
Worries
Pleaser role
Too much work
A stressful workinvorement
Not being who you really are e.g extrovert vs introvert
Traumas
Fear - chronic alert
The society’s expectations
Carrying the mental load in the family
Over responsibility
Too much work
Surrounding yourself with Negative people
ect.
Maybe you haven’t been taking Care of yourself earlier in life, and now you have to pay the bill/the price in meno pause. It shows up in all your symptoms !!!!

We’ve got more than 150 different hormones
The 3 most important hormones during (and before) meno pause:
If you have balance in the 3 most important hormones, it is much easier to get through menopause.
When these 3 hormones are in balance, then the other hormones will more easily come into balance
The 3 most important hormones:
cortisol
insulin
oxytocin
Cortisol is more than just a stress hormone
Chronically elevated cortisol in your body affects all cells in your body
Many women in their 40s have too much cortisol.
We tolerate less stress during menopause.
Cortisol imbalances are the main cause for imbalances in your hormonal system and during menopause
Insulin is secreted into the pancreas.
Insulin resistance means that we have a harder time getting the sugar/glucose into the cells. Instead it is stored as fat in the body, on your stomac, thies ect
Diet is important, so you do not develop insulin resistance
There can be other reasons for insulin resistance
Oxytocin
Is the Opposite pole to fight flight response
Balance between calm / rest-digest and active action mode is important
Too little oxytocin has an impact on your level of cortisol
Daily pleasure is important,
Daily Peace and calm is important
Remeber that you yourself have control over these 3 hormones
Hacks
- reduce stress in your life. Oftentimes menopause is a wake-up call. What is the reason for the stress in your life.
- be aware of what you eat and drink during the day. You can’t eat the same food as you normally eat
- prioritise yourself, get daily pleasure in your life
Get to know your body and get to know your potentional

In general, supplements should always be targeted at what you specifically need, assessed based on what you have challenges with. But the supplements you find here are supplements that most menopausal women need and therefore should take. If you have special challenges, there may be other supplements you need that can help you. It is a good idea to ally with an expert who can help you.
The basic supplements for meno pause
- multi vitamin
- vitamin d
- vitamin c
- Q10
- magnesium
- omega 3
- prohebetic
- fiber
- Milk thistle
A good multivitamin is an important part of your basic kit and it should contain what is called methylated B vitamins, which in short is the easiest form of B vitamins for your body to absorb
Vitamin D is both a vitamin and a hormone. We synthesize vitamin D via sunlight which hits our retina and especially in the dark time it is important to supplement with vitamin D. It is especially important for bones and circulation
Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that protects you from free radicals and it is very important for your immune system. Vitamin C reserves are quickly depleted by stress.
Omega 3 is one of the healthy fats that your body needs. It affects the brain's ability to send important messages and signals around to the body. Omega 3 also has an anti-inflammatory effect and is important for your circuit.
Magnesium is an important mineral for many of the body's functions such as insulin and blood sugar regulation. This is especially important if you have problems such as sleep problems, headaches / migraines, decreased sex drive, decreased energy, anxiety and depression and restlessness in the body. Deficiency symptoms can include leg cramps, restless legs, sleep problems, constipation, extra heartbeat and migraines. Magnesium is also important for balancing stress hormones and protects you from free radicals and various toxins. However, you can also benefit from the beneficial properties of magnesium via foot bath with epsom salt.
If you do not eat optimal amounts of fruits and vegetables - which are sources of antioxidants - then it is super important to supplement with antioxidants. Antioxidants are important for the energy production of your cells and important for fighting free radicals and damaging your cells. The ability to produce Q10 decreases with age and it behaves like an antioxidant and also helps your cells utilize the energy from the diet you consume
Milk thistle is a bitter herb and has a beneficial effect on your liver so it can better break down excess hormones. Your liver is a very important organ when it comes to detoxifying and breaking down toxins and excess hormones. Poor liver function can cause many problems which can be confused with menopausal symptoms and therefore your liver needs help and support. Accumulation of toxins and hormones is a source of eg estrogen dominance
Fiber is not a supplement.
Fiber you get from whole grains, rice, oatmeal, colorful vegetables, nuts, seeds, berries, fruits and beans. Especially fiber from flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds and chia seeds are super good sources just as cabbage in all shades is also good. These fiber sources are especially good for your estrogen breakdown and fiber in general is good for your bowel function and your blood sugar. Too little fiber in the diet can be one of many root causes of discomfort in menopause
Probiotics are the same as lactic acid bacteria and they are very important for your intestinal system to function optimally. It is the good bacteria that ensure that a healthy environment is maintained in your intestines so that you, among other things. absorbs the nutrients you ingest. The good bacteria are also crucial for how you secrete excess hormones such as estrogen. With a good digestion, you can thus both absorb all the good you give your body and at the same time get rid of waste products. Incidentally, 90% of the body's serotonin is formed in the intestinal system and therefore a good intestinal function is important for your mood and your well-being. The intestinal system is also called our second brain and there are many messages that go through our intestinal system to our brain and vice versa. And many have problems with their intestinal system. It is not uncommon to have problems during menopause such as irritable bowel syndrome. A common cause of menopausal symptoms is estrogen dominance and one of several root causes is an intestinal system that does not function optimally. So general gut health is incredibly important for your well-being during your menopause. If you have not taken probiotics before, it is important that you start with a low dose. When starting on probiotics, it is not uncommon to experience bloating and flatulence. However, it disappears after getting used to.

Just because you are worth it www.activistmanuka.com/ Manuka honey. The Healing Honey it isccalled because it has antibacterial and antiviral properties and at the same time is able to heal and nourish the skin. Manuka honey is not always the real thing, even if it says so, and that many producers mix the honey with syrup to be able to supply the quantities that are in demand. Manuka honey is a very rare type of honey that can only be made in New Zealand, and there is twice as much for sale on the market as is produced at all. The antibacterial properties of Manuka have been known and studied since the 1980s, but it was not until 2008 that scientists identified the active ingredient, methylglyoxal (MGO), indicating how potent honey is. This is the one you should always keep an eye on when buying Manuka and should it beat something, you should always choose from 300+ and up. It’s definitely not just any Manuka. It is hyped in Vogue, ELLE and leading magazines. Behind the brand is a former Vogue graphic designer, which you can clearly see in the design, which stands out positively from other Manukas. Together with her husband, she settled in New Zealand, where he is from, and by detours (Gabrielle suffers from Lyme Disease and sought all she could of natural means to strengthen her body and get better), she came across Manuka. ancientandbrave.earth - oil and collagen MCT is a regular ingredient in the everyday lives of a number of prominent personalities ranging from Halle Berry, Blake Lively, Miranda Kerr and Emma Stone to Huda Kattan, who is the founder of Huda Beauty. She is, as she herself says, 'obsessed with True MCT Oil for my daily morning drinks. Helps with weight loss, memory and keeps me energized '. MCT stands for Medium Chain Triglycerides. It is a type of fatty acid with a special structure that - unlike other fatty acids - is absorbed quickly in the body. MCT therefore provides a momentary boost of energy. You can truly feel how your energy rises in a stable and comfortable way - not like a caffeine or sugar rush. The oil feels filling without being heavy. More like a feeling of satisfaction and energy in the body. Therefore, it is extremely popular with many who follow the so-called 'intermittent fast' - a form of fasting that is gaining more and more ground and where you take a meal break 8-12 hours daily over evening, night and morning. But you in no way need to follow anything other than your own rhythm. We simply love to use MCT oil as an extra boost in the morning, in connection with training or in the afternoon, where energy in both brain and body can take a dive. www.holisticsilk.com - sleeping mask and pillowcase You wake up with fewer wrinkles in the face and your hair will be less affected by lying on the pillow case. verdantalchemy.co.uk/Vivien created Verdant Alchemy in 2018 after suffering from burn out and chronic pain.

Women around meno pause and when pregnant often get thinner hair. Kenzan can do a lot of other things too. If you suffer from headaches, migraines and tension, it is eminent for relieving.

Increased vulnerability or anger is part of the journey
New need to be alone
A wanting for something more or something else
The desire to be creative
All emotions become stronger
Old memories and traumas come up to the surface
Better boundaries
You get better at seeing reality as it is
Better intuition
Greater interest in self-development
It is normal to not be able to recognize yourself

One of the things that one can experience during menopause is a restlessness in the body, a tendency to worry about things that may not have been an issue before and some women experience regular anxiety. In fact, approx. 23% of all menopausal women have mood swings including anxiety and depression.
But why can these conditions occur just because one is in menopause?
Many doctors provide sedatives
But there are alternatives
It feels like butterflies in the stomach
A chronic tension in the solar plexus
A Lumb in the throat
Tension
Dizziness
Diarrhea
Chronic concern
Panic feeling
Feeling of walking next to oneself
Phobic
anxiety
Doomsday is coming, the end is near
Social anxiety
Scared of driving in trafic
Progestorone and estrogen have great influence
We get stressed more easily
We find it easier to feel restless and anxious due to the hormonal changes
We are created to go through meno pause as a natural thing
Low fabric pins ….
Leaky gut
If you have been stressed out, your adrenal glands may be overworked
Women have such high standards for themselves
Sleep problems can have an effect
Emotional level:
Mother role changes
Sick parents
Thoughts of death
Your ego is cracking - The ego wants to stay in the known
We fight against the transformation It requires us to step out of our comfort zone
Old traumas can show up
The gap between the conscious and the unconscious becomes more transparent
If you have resistance to what the body has to go through, it can really give a feeling of losing control
Not knowing where you are heading, can cause anxiety and restlessness
Worrying can be a way of trying to gain control. Worries, however, rarely turn into anything, so it's wasted energy
Find the main cause
What triggers your anxiety and when does it show up
Anxiety never arises out of the blue
Try to calm yourself down - See yourself as reassuring a younger side of yourself. Is it true that x, y, z are dangerous ?
Essential oil, lavender oil on your skin
Camille Tea
Gaba drops
CBD oil
Trauma heel
Grounding
Yoga for anxiety
Breathing exercises
Meditation
Work with acceptance and trust
Find someone to talk to about your anxiety, one who can ask you the right questions
Seek medical care if it lasts more than 3 months
Being anxious has implications for your health
Check for imbalances in your body
Anxiety always has a message, so listen

Menopause is one of the transformations of the big in our life at the same level as puberty.
The great transformations in life always take place in 3 stages and knowing about the phases of the transformation can shed a lot of light on why being in menopause can make noise and be anything but “a dance on roses.”
We move into the spiritual world and it actually also has a big impact on how we feel physically.
What are the three phases and how can you understand your menopause from the perspective that it is an invitation to growth and healing.
When you can not sleep then find the cause
Write in your diary
An old trauma can appear in the middle of the night
Are there old things that should not be passed on in the future
Transformation means permanent change
Life is full of changes
We move from one place to another
e.g
from crawling to walking
from being a teenager to becoming a woman
from not having children to becoming a mother
ect.
The 3-phases :
The end of the old phase
The neutral phase
The new phase
The neutral zone is often noisy and can create physical stress on the body
Let go of the old
Heal your relationship to yourself
Heal your relationship with your loved ones
What you feel is natural It's a process You need to be able to let go of the old
A lot of women think, that they just have to take supplements ect to get through meno pause.
But Remember all 3 levels:
- the bodily
- the mental
- the spiritual
Think about the cultures where they have got a lot of rituals.
Wouldent it be fantastic if we had.a ritual to celebrate the transition ?
People who are not used to feel their body, can have an extra challenge going through meno pause
Also people with traumas
Tips for your transformation:
Accept that you are under remodeling
Allow your emotions to be there
Allow yourself to get some rest
Be gentle with yourself
Trust yourself
Trust the process
Work with instead of against - go with the flow
Who do you want to become
Be patient - the process can not be fixed or speeded up
Think of the butterfly caterpillar and its transformation
It's exciting what kind of butterfly you're about to become 🦋

Stress is one of the most common causes of women suffering during their menopause. Stress can have many faces and cause many different reaction, symptoms and nuisances. The strangest thing is that stress and menopause genes can be similar. Being aware of whether stress plays a role in your life can be quite crucial for you to be able to return to hormonal balance - and balance in your life in general. Stress is not just about being busy. Stress can come from old traumas, realtions, your relationship with yourself, your way of being in the world and stress can be a kind of background music to your life that you may not have even noticed because it has been there for so long.
One can easily confuse stress and meno pause symptoms
Stress can trigger symptoms
It is important to get the body involved when working with stress coaching
Stress and menopause affect each other
Life is full of stress. Your body is built to handle stress Adrenaline and cortisol are released
Stress hormones are vital to us but infect many organs You can also get adrenal fatigue
Animals live by what the body is made for People do not do the same. The body prioritizes stress hormones over sex hormones Progrestoron is important for nerve growth in the brain When progestoron drops you may have trouble sleeping The body is at work before the pre meno pause
Stress due to allergies, poor diet, toxic load, your relationships, self-criticism, coping strategies
Workloads Deadlines Relationships Disease Economic speculation
Tips
Get help
Collaborate with your body
Eat nutritious
Eat at least 3 times Per day or more - eat 4-5 times a day to keep your blood sugar stable
Eat organic
Eat as clean as possible
Breaks are important
Movement is important. Exercise gently, do yoga, pilates - No Marathon, No Extreme sport ect
Remember the body stores fat when it is in survival mode
Meditation
Mindfullness
Be No. 1 on your priority list
Stop perfectionism
Stop taking over responsibility
Stop self-blame and self-criticism
Allow yourself to be vulnerable - it creates a lot of stress to hold the facade
Accept you are in a bodily rebuilding phase
Go with the Flow - let go of control - it costs energy to try to have control
Say no - stop pleasing
Be true to yourself and listen to your dreams
Let go of your persona
Get help with low progestrone if needed
Take supplements
Adjust your diet

Estrogen dominance
Estrogen dominance is a very overlooked condition but nonetheless, it is actually one of the biggest root cause of problems especially in premenopause.
Estrogen dominance can occur in all women who have a cycle (ie from the time you are a teenager until after menopause) but especially in the years up to menopause it can really create challenges.
The list of symptoms of estrogen dominance is long and often treated symptoms, which actually originate from estrogen dominance, which means that the real cause is not treated. But worst of all - many women suffer unnecessarily because it is so relatively unknown that estrogen dominance can wreak so much havoc.
PREMENO PAUSE
(LOW PROGESTRON AND HIGH / LOW ESTROGEN - ESTROGEN DOMINANCE)
Have you recently experienced that your periods have become heavier - or longer?
Have you recently experienced that you have started to get headaches / migraines?
Have you recently experienced PMS or a worsening of PMS?
Have you recently experienced sore and tense breasts with cysts, especially before menstruation?
Have you recently experienced that your cycle length has changed and has become shorter (under 25 days)?
Have you started to experience sleep problems?
Have you started to experience menstrual cramps?
Have you started to experience night sweats especially close to menstruation?
Has your weight changed without changing your diet or exercise habits?
PMS things that change in the early 40
fatigue
sleep problems
bloating
anxiety
depression
restless legs
low sex drive
headache
fibroids
endimitrose
mood swings
hair loss
extra heartbeat
gallbladder problems
weightgain
fatigue
sleep problems
irritability
anger
depression
memory problems
orange peel
Toxist layer
Senoestrogens
Birth control pills
Stress
unprocessed trauma
Inflammations
Genetic factors
Digestive problems
Blood sugar issues
Obesity
Untreated estrogen dominance can cause :
cancer of the ovaries, breasts, uterus
hasimoto,
inflammation
nutritional deficiencies
digestive problems
blood sugar
fat tissue fcreates estrogens
often one only treats the symptoms and one can overlook the main cause e.g. stress does not go away by giving anti-depressant medication
1) get professionel help
2) what can you do yourself:
- eliminate toxins, avoid plastic, use glass for storage
- eat organic
- support your liver with marie thistle
- eliminate stress - everyday stress, coping strategy stress p, work stress, stress from picking up and bringing
children - coping strategy stress ( from childhood)/ pleaser, control, prefectionism ect. - what is the opposite e.g. confidence that life will be good to you - shadow work
- Grants
- Get enough sleep 7-8 hours
- heal your digestion
Your are not meant to have estrogen dominance, so get help before it gets worce
