NNABI Peri Essential 5

Created specifically for women navigating perimenopause, NNABI’s award-winning Peri Essential 5™ is a doctor-formulated botanical supplement designed to support the whole body during hormonal transition. Rather than focusing on a single symptom, the formula takes a more comprehensive approach by targeting five foundational areas often disrupted during perimenopause: the nervous system, digestion and liver function, blood sugar balance, inflammation, and immune support. Founded by Marina Pen and EJ Kim after their own experiences struggling to find reliable information and support for perimenopause, NNABI combines science-backed education with natural wellness solutions tailored specifically to this life stage. The brand’s Peri Essential 5™ blends medical-grade herbs and adaptogens to help support common concerns including mood swings, stress, fatigue, brain fog, sleep disruption, hot flashes, bloating, and low libido. NNABI has also gained recognition for helping shift the broader conversation around perimenopause — emphasizing education, community, and whole-person wellness rather than simply “pushing through” symptoms. Their flagship supplement received a NEXTY Award for “Supplement Trailblazer,” recognizing innovation in underserved areas of health and wellness. Key Ingredients:

• HydroCurc® Curcuma Longa Extract (Curcumin) A highly absorbable turmeric extract designed to support inflammation response, joint comfort, liver health, and cognitive function.
• Artichoke Leaf Extract Traditionally used to support digestion, liver function, and bloating relief.
• KSM-66® Ashwagandha Root Extract An adaptogenic herb commonly used to help support stress response, sleep quality, cognitive function, and mood balance.
• Schisandra Fruit Extract A botanical used in traditional medicine that may help support energy, blood sugar balance, digestion, and resilience to stress.
• MacaXtra® Organic Maca Root A Peruvian adaptogen often associated with energy, libido support, hormonal symptom management, and endurance.
• Ceylon Cinnamon Extract Included to support blood sugar regulation, mood support, and overall metabolic health during perimenopause.

Aquaphor Healing Ointment: Advanced Therapy

Relief for Menopausal Skin Changes

During menopause, hormonal changes can leave skin feeling dry, sensitive, and prone to irritation. Aquaphor Healing Ointment offers multi-purpose relief for common menopausal skin concerns. This dermatologist-recommended ointment protects and soothes extremely dry skin, cracked hands and feet, and chapped lips - all frequent complaints during this transition.

Unlike typical lotions, this intensive ointment creates a protective barrier with petrolatum, panthenol, and glycerin to lock in moisture and support skin healing. It's particularly helpful for night sweats-related skin irritation, increased skin sensitivity, and the thinning, drier skin that often accompanies hormonal changes.

Fragrance-free and preservative-free, it's gentle enough for newly sensitive skin and provides long-lasting relief for the whole body.  Apply to problem areas as needed throughout the day and before bed for softer, more comfortable skin during your menopause journey.

Key Ingredients: Petrolatum Panthanol Glycerin

2. WW Clinic for Menopause – virtual visits with menopause-trained clinicians ($65 first month) and access to medications if you qualify, including menopause hormone therapy (MHT/HRT) and GLP-1s; note that certain medications aren’t included in plan pricing and coverage varies.

The program emphasizes coaching, community, and access to clinicians; when booking, consider asking about cultural humility, cardiometabolic risk review, fibroid history, and individualized MHT discussions – so your plan reflects your lived experience and health priorities. (Insurance, medication eligibility, and clinical recommendations depend on your personal history and clinician guidance). WW cites a secondary analysis of a randomized trial showing members of menopausal age lost approximately 6.8% body weight in 6 months on WW vs. standard nutrition guidance (analysis funded by WW).

It's Just Whey Protein Concentrate

As estrogen fluctuates and ebbs during menopause transition, lean muscle naturally declines. Getting enough protein helps slow that loss, supports a steadier metabolism, and can make it easier to maintain a healthy weight. Protein also contributes to bone strength, steadier blood sugar (hello, fewer crash-and-crave moments), and supplies the amino acids your body uses to make mood-related neurotransmitters. Paired with regular strength training, a higher-protein pattern can help preserve muscle and bone while keeping you fuller and more energized.

It’s Just! 100% Whey Protein Concentrate (Unflavored) — A simple, unflavored WPC-80 whey powder with no added flavors or artificial sweeteners. Cold-processed, rBGH/rBST-free, gluten-free, and made in the USA in a GMP-compliant facility—easy to add to smoothies, oats, or yogurt to help meet midlife protein goals. Key Ingredients

• Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC-80)
• Sunflower Lecithin (for easy mixing)

Lymphatic Massage

Lymphatic massage, also called manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), is a gentle, rhythmic technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system—a network of vessels and nodes that helps remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the body. While menopause itself doesn’t directly impair lymphatic function, hormonal changes—particularly reduced estrogen—can contribute to increased inflammation, fluid retention, and joint or muscle discomfort in some women.

How It May Help

• Reduced Swelling and Fluid Retention: Menopause-related hormonal shifts can sometimes cause mild edema in the hands, feet, or joints. Lymphatic massage supports fluid movement, which may ease swelling.

• Decreased Inflammation: By promoting lymph flow, MLD may help reduce localized inflammatory responses, potentially lessening pain in areas affected by stiffness or swelling.

• Improved Tissue Health: Enhanced circulation of lymph can support nutrient delivery and waste removal, which may aid recovery from exercise or injury—important during menopause, when healing can be slower.

Who and When to Consider Lymphatic Massage

• Best Candidates: Women experiencing menopause-related swelling, discomfort from mild fluid retention, or chronic inflammatory conditions (e.g., mild arthritis) may benefit.

• Medical Considerations: Those with active infections, untreated cancer, blood clots, congestive heart failure, or kidney problems should avoid MLD unless cleared by a healthcare provider.

• Timing: Lymphatic massage can be considered as part of a broader wellness plan, especially when inflammation or swelling is persistent despite lifestyle measures like exercise, hydration, and an anti-inflammatory diet.

Bottom Line
Lymphatic massage is not a cure for menopause symptoms but may be a supportive therapy for reducing swelling and discomfort linked to inflammation or fluid retention. Always consult a licensed massage therapist trained in MLD and seek medical clearance if you have underlying health conditions.

Midi

​MidiHealth delivers expert, science‑backed virtual care for perimenopause, menopause, and midlife wellness—personalized and delivered with true cultural sensitivity. With over 200,000 women served nationwide, a remarkable 91% report symptom relief within 60 days—and 92% see improvements in mood, anxiety, or irritability within just two months.

But numbers only tell part of the story. Real women—many of whom felt dismissed by traditional providers—are finding effective, empathetic care through MidiHealth. As one reviewer shared:

“I spent almost three years being dismissed by doctors, and told to nap more. I’ve been so happy to find a team that knows how to help women through this transition.”

Others celebrate how quickly relief starts after joining:

“My night sweats and hot flashes are gone. My libido is back and I'm happy to have the energy to do the things I love again.”

“I can’t believe what a difference my Care Plan made. My joint pain has subsided, I’m sleeping better, my moodiness leveled out. I feel better than I have in a year."

On Trustpilot, feedback continues to highlight Midi’s clinicians’ attentiveness and effectiveness:

“My practitioner has been fantastic since my first appointment over a year ago. She was the first of 4 GYNs who actually listened to me and acknowledged my menopausal symptoms.”

Available in all 50 states and accepted by major PPO insurers, Midi makes access to midlife healthcare easy, convenient, and affordable.

Founded by women who intimately understand the hurdles of midlife care—from feeling dismissed to struggling with insurance—MidiHealth builds individualized care plans that honor the full spectrum of lived experience. Especially for Black women and women of color, this matters: studies show they often face earlier menopause, longer and more intense symptoms, and systemic barriers to treatment options like hormone therapy. Midi stands out by centering culturally responsive care and ensuring its clinicians listen, understand, and validate experiences that are too often overlooked.

It is a much weaker estrogen than estradiol and has been used in topical vaginal estrogen preparations in Europe for decades. Topical estriol has, like estradiol, been shown to markedly increase collagen and elastin production and reduce fine wrinkles and pore size. A review of studies using low dose topical estriol reveals that topical estriol does not increase the levels of estrogen in the bloodstream.

Intermittent Fasting

Many women have embraced intermittent fasting (IF) as a lifestyle approach to managing their weight as they age into midlife and beyond. IF can also help manage your blood sugar, which can alleviate some of the conditions associated with menopause transition, including bloating. There are three common methods of IF:

1. The 16/8 method involves fasting every day for 14-16 hours and restricting your daily eating window to 8-10 hours.
2. The 5:2 diet involves eating normally  5 days of the week while restricting your calorie intake to 500-600 for 2 days of the week.
3. Eat Stop Eat involves a 24-hour fast once or twice a week.

While IF can help you lose and keep off excess weight, it’s important to make sure you’re consuming protein and nutrient-rich foods during your eating window. You should consult your doctor or nutritionist to determine if IF is a healthy option for you.

Plant-Based Diet

A plant-based diet rich in soy reduces troubling menopause symptoms by 84%.  According to the WAVS study (the Women's Study for the Alleviation of Vasomotor Symptoms) sponsored by the North American Menopause Society, a plant-based diet rich in soy reduces moderate-to-severe hot flashes by 84%, from nearly five per day to fewer than one per day. During the 12-week study, nearly 60% of women became totally free of moderate-to-severe hot flashes. Overall hot flashes (including mild ones) decreased by 79%. Note: It’s important to know that soy contains phytoestrogens, which are compounds that act like estrogen in your body. While they may be helpful if you battle low estrogen levels, they can be a fibroid challenge, as high estrogen levels can spur fibroid growth.

Take a deep breath and observe one’s own space, thoughts, and emotions non-judgmentally. The resulting calm helps lower stress.

Mayo Clinic: Hormone Therapy

Menopause hormone therapy or Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is medication that contains the female hormones -- estrogen or progesterone. Hormone therapy is prescribed by doctors and is  used to treat common symptoms related to menopause transition, including hot flashes and discomfort due to vaginal dryness or thinning. Hormone therapy is also prescribed to post-menopausal women at risk of osteoporosis ( i.e., bone loss and fracture-prone). For many women, hormone therapy can successfully treat some of their most disruptive symptoms. However, depending on your medical history and that of your family, hormone therapy may pose greater health risks. Risks also depend on the dosage, duration and type of hormone therapy you're taking. Because of this, hormone therapy should be tailored to the individual and regularly re-evaluated to ensure the benefits continue to outweigh the risks.
