Waking up after a less-than-restful night’s sleep never feels good, no matter the circumstances. But night sweats can do more than just keep you up: these late-night hot flashes can force you to start your day with a load of laundry and redressing your bed because you sweat through your sheets (and that’s not even getting into the “taking multiple showers a day, just to feel fresh” part). And while we might be tempted to try to just forget about the whole thing after night sweats, the truth is that a bad night's sleep can affect you for the rest of the day. And we all deserve a good morning, e ..read more

Between decorating your house, attending celebrations, cooking festive meals, figuring out gifts, and visiting loved ones, the holiday season can get pretty stressful. And all those stresses compound when you add in menopause symptoms like mood swings, hot flashes, and sleepless nights, which can leave you out of balance and diminish the joy you usually find this time of year. But even though menopause symptoms can be unpleasant, they don’t have to ruin your holiday experience.   Symptoms: Anxiety & Stress Solution: Socialize & Delegate During the holidays, many of us want everyth ..read more

 Most of us know that around perimenopause, many women struggle with symptoms linked to declining estrogen levels, including hot flashes, weight gain, bone loss, and poor sleep.  Declining estrogen levels also affect the human microbiota. Imbalances in the microbiome can have a negative impact on everything from your digestion to overall mental health, and some of the symptoms we associate with perimenopause may be caused by these estrogen-related changes to the microbiome. This is why probiotics have the potential to improve these kinds of symptoms, by rebalancing good bacteria ..read more

The changes and symptoms we experience during perimenopause and menopause can feel overwhelming. But this is also a time in our lives when we can take stock of our needs and examine new ways to support them. And a great way to do that is by updating and upgrading your diet. After all, it was Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, who said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” While food isn’t a substitute for doctor-prescribed treatments for serious, life-disrupting symptoms, a healthy diet is a cornerstone of preventative care. People with healthy eating patterns live lon ..read more

You probably know at least a little bit about estrogens — they’re the sex hormones that maintain sexual and reproductive health, and affect everything in the body from the reproductive system and urinary tract to the bones, mucous membranes, muscles, and brain. Estrogen levels rise during puberty, instigating the development of secondary sex characteristics, then continue to fluctuate throughout life, rising and falling in line with your menstrual cycle. But as we age out of our reproductive years and reach menopause, estrogen levels drop dramatically, instigating a lot of the symptoms we expe ..read more

We love matcha because it’s supercharged with antioxidants and helps provide a steady stream of energy throughout the day to keep you energized and focused. There are several studies that show how matcha and collagen can improve the benefits of exercise, so we crafted this pre-workout matcha latte and paired it with our Goddess Glow Beauty Collagen.   Ingredients: ½ tbsp matcha 2 scoops Goddess Glow Beauty Collagen 1/4 cup Warm Water 3 Cubes of Ice ½ cup Oat Milk (or another milk of your choice) Directions: Add matcha, Goddess Glow Beauty Collagen, and Water and mix with a frother ..read more

Finding relief from menopausal symptoms can be a complex and challenging journey. Every woman is different, and therefore not all treatments will provide the same benefits for everyone. Some methods may be more effective than others and permanent changes to diet and other lifestyle areas may be necessary to reap the most benefits and support symptom relief.  While changes to diet, exercise, and other lifestyle aspects can go a long way to supporting menopausal health, what else can women do for symptom relief—specifically, alleviating hot flashes?     How Probiotics Can Hel ..read more

A lot of us think of summer as the season of fresh produce — but the fall harvest season boasts plenty of its own vitamin-packed fruit and veg. While the warmer months are known more for their light and water-rich goods like berries, melons, and greens, autumn crops are often heartier, like potatoes and squash (though the fall months also have their share of fresh greens and juicy fruits). And since the North American Menopause Society recommends a diet rich in fruits and vegetables to help alleviate symptoms, it’s important to know what’s out there and how they can benefit you through pe ..read more

This is the recipe for those dog days of summer, when you can't handle the idea of eating anything except ice cream. You may have seen variations of this low-sugar, cottage cheese-based ice cream recipe as they've gone viral on TikTok, but we love this mixed berry version, as it fits into any meal of the day, from breakfast to a late-night snack.  Cottage cheese is rich in protein, calcium, and — depending on the type you buy — probiotics. We enhance the recipe with our Goddess Glow Beauty Collagen which is fortified with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid. And the addition ..read more
