8 Lifestyle Changes for Menopause Relief and How Homeopathy Can Help

Perimenopause is a transitional time that can actually be a wonderful opportunity to make small, meaningful lifestyle changes.

The trick is to take it one step at a time. Research shows that it can take around 21 days to establish a new habit, so there’s no need to rush or try to overhaul everything at once.

I personally find a simple habit tracker really helpful. Ticking off each day I’ve managed to stick to a new habit gives me a little boost of motivation and keeps me on track without feeling pressured.

Alongside lifestyle changes, many women find comfort in natural support approaches. You can learn more about homeopathy for menopause in my complete guide.

8 Lifestyle Changes for Better Health During Menopause

1. Choose organic where you can

Organic foods are free from pesticides, which are known as “hormone disruptors.” These can interfere with the body’s delicate systems, so opting for organic where possible helps support hormonal balance and overall wellbeing.

2. Eat regularly to keep blood sugar balanced

Your brain runs on glucose, so keeping your blood sugar steady is key. Irregular eating can lead to dips in blood sugar, which may trigger symptoms like irritability, hot flushes, or anxiety.

For me personally, skipping meals tends to make me snappy.

3. Eat foods that are high in essential fatty acids

Oily fish, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts are great sources. Studies show that getting enough essential fatty acids can help support mood and may even prevent depression in post-menopausal women.

4. Support your gut with probiotics or fermented foods

Oestrogen plays a role in maintaining a diverse gut microbiome, which helps your immune system function properly. Menopause can affect this balance, so incorporating live microbes from fermented foods like kefir, sauerkraut, or yoghurt can boost gut and immune health over time.

5. Boost your Magnesium levels

Magnesium deficiency is common during menopause. Most Western diets don’t provide enough, so consider magnesium-rich foods, Epsom salt baths, or magnesium lotions, which can be absorbed through the skin to help with sleep, relaxation, and muscle health.

6. Get enough of the full spectrum of vitamins

Hormonal changes can affect many areas of health, so it’s important to eat a varied diet to cover all essential vitamins. Colourful vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins ensure you’re giving your body the nutrients it needs to feel its best.

7. Move your body regularly

Exercise is key during menopause. Gentle activities like yoga, Pilates, walking, or swimming are excellent ways to stay active and support both your physical and emotional wellbeing. Regular movement can:

• Support weight management

• Boost mood through endorphins and dopamine

• Strengthen bones and reduce osteoporosis risk

• Improve sleep quality

8. Take homeopathic remedies

Homeopathy offers a gentle, holistic way to support women through menopause, addressing both the physical and emotional challenges that often arise. Remedies are tailored to your individual symptoms, whether that’s night sweats, mood swings, sleep issues, low energy, menopausal migraines or recurrent UTIs. The idea is that you feel supported as a whole person, not just as a set of symptoms.

Using Homeopathy Together with Lifestyle Changes During Menopause

By treating you as a whole, homeopathy can be valuable for managing menopause naturally.

Instead of masking symptoms, homeopathy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, helping to restore balance.

Research published highlights that homeopathy is successful in treating menopausal symptoms. It is a great option if you are looking for alternative care.

As part of a holistic approach, combining lifestyle changes with homeopathy can help you feel more balanced and supported throughout menopause.
