How to Support Your Body During Perimenopause and Menopause Naturally

Supporting the body through menopause and perimenopause

Perimenopause and menopause are natural stages of life that every woman experiences differently. It can feel like a gradual shift, while for other people, symptoms may feel more noticeable, ranging from changes in energy and mood to sleep, skin and overall wellbeing.

While there’s no one size fits all approach, many women are now looking at how daily nutrition, lifestyle and gentle support from natural ingredients can help them feel more balanced during this time.

What Is Perimenopause?

Perimenopause is the stage leading up to menopause, where hormone levels, particularly oestrogen begin to fluctuate. This phase can last several years and often brings a range of physical and emotional changes.

What Is Menopause?

Menopause is defined as the point when periods stop completely, it is usually defined as the point after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual cycle.

Common Symptoms of Perimenopause and Menopause

During these phases, it’s common to experience:

  • Changes in energy and fatigue
  • Mood fluctuations
  • Brain fog or reduced focus
  • Skin and hair changes
  • Digestive changes
  • Sleep disruption

These shifts are largely linked to hormonal changes and fluctuations, but also to how the body responds to stress, nutrition, and overall lifestyle.

Taking an “Inside-Out” Approach. Rather than focusing on one single symptom, many people find it helpful to support the body more holistically by looking at:

  • Stress and resilience
  • Energy levels
  • Gut health
  • Nutrient intake
  • Antioxidant support

Supporting these areas together can help create a stronger foundation for overall wellbeing.

Can Diet and Supplements Help During Menopause?

Nutrition plays an important role during perimenopause and menopause. A balanced diet rich in whole foods, fibre and antioxidants can support energy, digestion and overall health.

This is where thoughtfully formulated blends can play a role as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Key Ingredients That May Support Hormonal Balance

Certain plant-based ingredients have traditionally been used to support the body during times of stress and change.

The Lucy Bee Daily Balance is here to support, and this is how:

This hormone balance blend combines a range of plant-based ingredients traditionally used to support wellbeing, helping to complement your daily routine during this stage of life.

1. Adaptogens for Hormonal Balance & Stress Support

Ingredients such as maca, ashwagandha and panax ginseng are often referred to as adaptogen plants traditionally used to help the body adapt to physical and emotional stress.

  • Maca - traditionally used to support energy, mood and overall balance
  • Ashwagandha - traditionally used to support the body’s response to stress
  • Panax Ginseng - traditionally used to support energy and mental performance

These ingredients don’t contain hormones but are included to help support the body’s natural balance.

2. Mood, Energy & Fatigue Support

Adaptogens and botanicals for daily balance

Changes in energy are one of the most commonly reported experiences during perimenopause and menopause.

This blend includes:

  • Ginseng, maca and goji berries - traditionally used to support energy and vitality
  • Beetroot - naturally rich in compounds linked to circulation and stamina
  • Amla and berries - sources of antioxidants to support overall wellbeing

Together, these ingredients help support daily energy and vitality.

3. Gut Health & Digestive Support

Gut health plays an important role in overall wellbeing and is increasingly being explored in relation to hormones, immunity, and mood.

  • Agave inulin - a source of prebiotic fibre that feeds beneficial gut bacteria
  • Baobab - naturally high in fibre and vitamin C

Supporting gut health can be a helpful foundation for feeling your best from the inside out.

4. Skin, Inflammation & Oxidative Stress

As hormone levels change, skin and overall resilience can also shift.

This blend includes antioxidant-rich ingredients such as:

  • Hibiscus, amla and berries - known for their natural antioxidant content
  • Schisandra berry - traditionally used to support resilience and wellbeing

Antioxidants help protect cells from oxidative stress, supporting overall health and vitality.
