Menopause is a big change in a woman’s life. Along with the hot flashes and sleep troubles, many women find themselves feeling down, unmotivated, or even anxious. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Why Does Menopause Affect Mood?

Our hormones play a huge role in how we feel. When menopause hits, oestrogen and progesterone levels drop, and that can throw everything off balance.

Oestrogen helps regulate serotonin, the ‘feel-good’ hormone, so when its levels go down, sadness, anxiety, and mood swings start.

Progesterone, which has a calming effect, also declines, making irritability and restlessness more common.

But it’s not just hormones. Poor sleep from night sweats, stress, or even the emotional weight of this life stage can make things worse. Many women feel exhausted, disconnected, or simply not like themselves.

Simple and Natural Ways to Feel Better

At One Health, we believe in a whole-body approach. Instead of just focusing on symptoms, we look at lifestyle, nutrition, and emotional well-being to help women feel their best. Here’s how:

Eat for Your Mood: Food is powerful. Omega-3-rich foods like walnuts, flaxseeds, and fish support brain health. Magnesium-rich foods like spinach and almonds help calm the nervous system. Staying hydrated can also help with energy and focus.
Try Natural Remedies: Herbs like Ashwagandha have been used for centuries to lift mood and reduce stress. Our team at One Health can help you find the right natural support for your body.
Move Your Body: Exercise isn’t just about staying in shape; it’s one of the best ways to boost mood. Walking, yoga, or even dancing can release endorphins—your body’s natural ‘happy hormones.’
Get the Right Nutrients: Sometimes, a little extra support is needed. Vitamin D, B vitamins, and magnesium play a big role in emotional health.
Take Care of Your Mental Well-being: Talking to someone can make a world of difference. Whether it’s a therapist, a support group, or just opening up to a friend, connection is key. One health can help you with therapy and prioritise self-care, whether through journaling, meditation, or simply taking time for yourself.
