Embracing a Graceful Transition: The Journey Through Menopause

Menopause: it's a word that can evoke many different emotions among women. Some embrace this time of life with confidence, while others might have fears about what's to come. It's a natural transition, yet, there are a lot of unknowns about this stage of life. The journey through menopause is as unique as the woman experiencing it. From perimenopause, menopause itself, to post-menopause, each phase comes with its own set of challenges and changes, both physical and emotional.

Understanding Menopause: More Than Just a Phase

Menopause isn't just a single event; it's a journey that typically unfolds over several years. It can begin as early as a woman's 30s or 40s, marking the end of her reproductive years. There are three different stages of menopause:

• Perimenopause: This precursor to menopause is where things start changing. Hormone levels fluctuate, leading to irregular periods and often the first appearance of symptoms like hot flashes. Perimenopause often lasts for years, as many as ten for some women, and is “generically” referred to as menopause.
• Menopause: Technically, menopause is reached when a woman hasn't had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months. It's a milestone, a moment in time signaling the end of fertility.
• Post-Menopause: This final phase is the rest of a woman's life after menopause where symptoms gradually ease for most, but long-term health considerations linked to decreased estrogen become important.

A Symphony of Symptoms

Menopause can be like an orchestra without a conductor – hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and a host of other symptoms that can play their tunes unpredictably. These are natural occurrences, but they can undoubtedly impact a woman's quality of life. The conversation around menopause often focuses on these more well-known symptoms, leaving women unprepared for less-talked-about changes like vaginal dryness, loss of libido, and changes in hair and skin texture.

Harmonizing the Menopausal Experience

Redd Remedies' Master Herbalist Stacey Littlefield understands women's health. When creating MenoWise™, a natural formulation to support women during their menopausal journey, Stacey focused on four botanicals to address the broad spectrum of symptoms, from perimenopause, to menopause, and all the way through post-menopause.

The first three herbs in the formulation are all Korean botanicals that have been used in Asian culture for many years. Together, Angelica gigas, Cynanchum wilfordii, and Phlomis umbrosa is a powerful blend, patented under the name EstroG-100®, that addresses 10 symptoms of menopause, including:

• Hot flashes/Night sweats
• Vaginal dryness
• Sleep issues
• Nervousness
• Mood balance
• Dizziness/vertigo
• Fatigue
• Joint discomfort
• Skin sensations
• Numbness and tingling

Stacey also used Shatavari, one of the most prized botanicals in Ayurveda. This rejuvenating plant promotes learning and memory, improves overall health by increasing vitality, immunity and longevity, and protects the body against stress.

Combined, these ingredients have been carefully crafted to bring balance and comfort during menopause, without the use of estrogen or synthetic hormones.

Notably, Stacey formulated MenoWise™ without Black Cohosh, a common ingredient in many menopause supplements. While Black Cohosh may be beneficial for some, it's also not suited for every woman. By excluding it, this product becomes a good option for a wider range of women, especially those who may have sensitivities or contraindications with Black Cohosh.

Stacey’s Formulation – MenoWise™. Natural, Safe, and Effective

MenoWise™ is an herbal supplement designed not just to help women manage their symptoms, but also to encourage them to embrace menopause as a natural phase of life.
