My mother, school, friends, and even strangers prepared me well for many of life’s hormonal changes—menstruation and pregnancy—but when it came to menopause, there was little education or discussion. It was either a taboo topic or a punchline. So, when menopause hit, I was not prepared and it was not funny!
Around age 35, perimenopause hit me like a ton of bricks. My periods became intense. After a year of trying various remedies—acupuncture, herbs, medications, and even medical procedures—I chose a hysterectomy in hopes of relief. But that’s when the real struggle began: perimenopause. Weight gain, hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, irritability, and anxiety overwhelmed me. Suddenly, I didn’t recognize my own body or mind. My doctor’s advice? Basically, to white-knuckle my way through it. I can’t even describe how deflating that advice felt. It was frustrating and isolating.
Along with the physical symptoms, I faced an emotional toll. I gained and lost weight—100 pounds!—battled anxiety and brain fog, and felt like I was losing myself. Despite stepping into a leadership role in a large corporation, the stress worsened, and I struggled with imposter syndrome. Eventually, I left my job, realizing I needed to prioritize my mental and emotional well-being.
That’s when I discovered MPowder. Skeptical at first, I tried Meno-Boost, and within three weeks, my hot flashes diminished. Adding Mood Food helped with my anxiety and sleep, and I began to feel more like myself again. Adding Gut Instinct improved my digestion and even my skin, and I noticed how all three products worked together to restore balance in my life.
MPowder stands out not only for its products but also for its commitment to education and community. Monthly Masterclasses, newsletters, and blogs provide valuable insights, helping me reclaim peace, and joy.
Now, I coach other women through this journey, helping them find relief from their symptoms. It’s incredible how whole foods, botanicals, and herbs can have such a profound impact. I’m honored to share the tools that helped me rediscover myself.
If there’s one thing I want you to take from my story, it’s this: You are not alone. Menopause can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be endured alone. With the right support and resources, this phase can be one of growth, empowerment, and joy. You’ve got this—and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
