I’m sharing five supplements that support cognitiv I’m sharing five supplements that support cognitive function, focus, mood and sleep during menopause. 🌸

Reminder: food first, supplements second.

1. / Omega-3 fatty acids @barebiology 
Omega-3s are powerful anti-inflammatory nutrients that support brain health.
I like using Bare Biology for quality omega-3.
Also include foods like wild salmon, mackerel, walnuts and chia seeds.

2. / B Vitamins – especially B6, B9 and B12
These vitamins are essential for neurotransmitter production, the chemicals your brain uses to communicate.
Think of B vitamins as brain energy.
They also help lower homocysteine, a compound linked to cognitive decline.
Great food sources include leafy greens, beans, lentils, whole grains and eggs.
B12 is particularly important because it helps produce the myelin sheath, which protects nerve fibres and allows messages to travel quickly between the brain and body.

3. / Magnesium glycinate
I like Magic Magnesium from New Nordic, @newnordic_uk which also includes B vitamins.
Magnesium supports sleep quality, nerve signalling and stress regulation.
It’s a great supplement to take before bed.

4. Lion’s Mane mushroom
I use Lion’s Mane tablets from AAVALABS  Nootropic @aavalabs 
This medicinal mushroom has been used for thousands of years.
It may stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF), which supports memory and cognitive performance.

5. / Choline. This is a highly bioavailable choline source from Lifetropics.
Choline supports brain function, memory and neurotransmitter production.
You can also get it from foods like beef liver, egg yolks, edamame beans and quinoa.

May this support you in looking at where you can improve your nutrition and where supplementation might help.

But most importantly, let’s not do nothing. ⚡️

As our hormones decline, our bodies often need extra support to come back into balance — especially when it comes to brain health, mood and cognitive function.

And remember…

Menopause is not the end of our vitality — it can be the beginning of a new chapter.

In Japan, this stage of life is called “Konenki,” meaning a season of renewal and new energy.

#brain #brainsupplements #menopause #vitality #longevity
I have a question for you. Are you entering perim I have a question for you.

Are you entering perimenopause or menopause?
And if you are… how are you supporting yourself through it?

Have you started noticing any changes or signs in your body or mind?

Let’s start a conversation about it. 🗣️

We are entering the third stage of a woman’s life, and it’s nothing to hide, feel ashamed about, or think that life is somehow “over”. In fact, I truly believe the opposite.

From speaking with so many incredible women who have educated themselves and taken charge of this transition… many of them are actually thriving and enjoying this stage of life. 

When I attended the Women’s Hormone event in London on Saturday, I realised that I haven’t shared much about hormones or menopause recently… and how we can support ourselves during this time.

Partly because life has been full, and I’ve been spending time with my mum while she hasn’t been well.

But I’d really love to open this conversation again.

❓So I want to ask you:

How do you support yourself — during this stage, or even before the changes begin?

How do you support your cognitive health, energy, and wellbeing?

Have you found anything that works for you?
Natural approaches? Lifestyle practices? Nutrition?

Please share in the comments.

Let’s talk, support each other, and learn from one another so we can thrive in this stage of life and continue enjoying our lives fully.

Because there is a way. 🤍🌸

#menopause #natural #lifecycle #konenki #energy ⚡️
A women’s hormone health event in London this week A women’s hormone health event in London this weekend. A space filled with inspiring women sharing their stories, knowledge and missions to support women’s vitality through menopause and beyond.

We spoke about hormones, disruptions that can happen through the years, healthy ageing, longevity, supplements, and how we can support our brains and bodies to prevent cognitive decline later in life.

It was a powerful reminder that women’s health deserves deeper awareness, conversation and support.

Thanks ladies! Belle Amatt @bellenutrition Rian Jones @botanicalboutiqueuk Emma Beswick @lifecodegx @collegeofnaturopathicmedicine Holly Taylor, Gabi Forrester, Helen Drake @cytoplan_ and more…

The second half of this reel is from Sunday morning’s Mindful Collective yoga class.
Our focus was resilience and strength — but also compassion and the ability to truly care for ourselves as women.

Strength in our bodies that support us.
Softness in our hearts that nurture us.

Because for true healthspan — living longer and living well — we need both.

As our hormones change through the years, many things can shift — mood, mental clarity, muscle strength, even our gut health. These transitions are natural, but they can also be moments where our bodies ask for more attention, care and support.

You don’t have to navigate that alone.

If you’re experiencing changes and would like guidance, feel free to get in touch. I offer a 20-minute consultation where we can explore what you’re going through and how we might bring your hormones — and yourself — back toward balance.

🌸 Yes — we’ll cover nutrition as a big part of the conversation, as well as mindful movement, supportive supplements, and lifestyle changes that can help you feel stronger, clearer and more energised through the years ahead.

Comment: “Living Well Beyond Menopause” and I’ll send you the link to book your free consultation.

Let’s not leave our health at the bottom of the list.
Let’s bring it right to the top — where it belongs.

Because the freedom to live fully always begins with good, conscious health. 🌸🙋🏼‍♀️❤️
