The subtle shift: How to recognise signs of hormonal imbalance and what to do next

Get your fix of wellness and things that inspire us.

POV: you’ve just started getting signals of perimenopause, or perhaps you’re already symptoms deep in your own menopausal or postmenopausal journey. Whatever the case, WelleCo’s Goddess Elixir has been formulated to help. Here’s how.


The Goddess Elixir – What it is

High-quality, multi-award-winning support for every stage of menopause, from perimenopause to postmenopause. Specifically, this formulation:

  1. Relieves menopausal symptoms including mood swings irritability, hot flushes and night sweats.
  2. Supports vitality and energy levels.
  3. Helps maintain nervous system function and healthy mood balance.
  4. Maintains mental clarity and focus.
  5. Supports bone health and cognitive function.
  6. Contains hops, traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to reduce sleeplessness.


Recognising your symptoms (even the subtle ones)

Perimenopause occurs when the body experiences fluctuating levels of estrogen and progesterone that can result in a feeling of, ‘What is happening to me?’ Think you might be entering perimenopause? Here is a list of common early symptoms based on the real life experiences of our WelleCommunity.

  1. Sudden and unpredictable hot flushes and night sweats
  2. Irregular and erratic periods
  3. Low fatigue and energy due to accompanying disturbances in sleep
  4. Weight gain despite no lifestyle changes
  5. Cognitive effects like brain fog and headaches
  6. Physical changes like tender breasts, bloating and bladder urgency
  7. Changes in mood like anxiety, confusion and isolation
  8. Loss of libido/sex drive

 

When your estrogen levels drop significantly, you are likely in menopause. Also sometimes defined by an overall feeling of, “How do I get back to myself?”. Here’s what else our WelleCommunity noticed: 

  1. Persistent and frequent hot flashes/night sweats
  2. The time between periods may be shorter or longer than usual.
  3. Fatigue and energy depletion often resulting in afternoon crashes
  4. Ongoing metabolic shifts in weight and fat redistribution
  5. Continued concentration challenges
  6. Physical changes like joint pain, dry skin and brittle nails.
  7. Digestible discomfort is more noticeable
  8. Stress, overwhelm and identity challenges
  9. Desire to restore balance and sense of self

 

Postmenopause is defined by stable but low estrogen and a fulfilling sense of, “Look how far I’ve come.” Here are the other telltale signs as defined by our WelleCommunity: 

  1. Less frequent, more stable night sweats/hot flashes
  2. Periods cease entirely (‘postmenopause’ is classed as twelve consecutive months without a period.)
  3. Energy levels benefit from extra support (due to potential continued sleep issues)
  4. Greater control in weight through diet and regular movement
  5. Mental clarity improves due to symptom stability
  6. Bone and muscle maintenance becomes more of a focus
  7. Cravings are easier to manage
  8. An increase of confidence, resilience and emotional steadiness
  9. Renewed commitment to long term wellness

Your pressing questions

What is the best time of day to take The Goddess Elixir?

We recommend taking the two capsules daily in the morning with breakfast. To help the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins we recommend taking the capsules alongside good plant fats such as avocado, nuts, seeds or olive oil.

Can The Goddess Elixir capsules be opened and added to drinks or food?

Yes, The Goddess Elixir capsules can be carefully opened and added to drinks or food if you prefer not to swallow capsules. Only add to cold drinks or foods as the efficacy of the vitamins may be negatively impacted with hot foods or drinks.

Can I take The Goddess Elixir while on pharmaceutical medication?

We always recommend consulting your Primary Healthcare Professional such as your GP, Naturopath or Nutritionist to discuss your supplementary routine, particularly if you have any underlying health conditions or are on pharmaceutical medication, as they can advise on what's right for your individual needs. The formulation contains Vitex agnus-castus which may affect hormones and medicines such as oral contraceptives and HRT. Please consult your health professional before use.
