Menopause should be an empowering time for women, a chance to reinvent themselves and become the badass they were meant to be.  

It is an inevitable part of life that all women experience & while it can be challenging, there are many ways to make the best of this transition and come out on top. So, how do you become a badass in menopause?  Read on to see how you can make the most of menopause and rock this new stage of life.

Eat Right, Sleep Tight

The key to feeling good during menopause is getting your body in balance. Eating healthy, whole foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and complex carbohydrates will help you stay energised and provide your body with the essential vitamins and minerals it needs. Be sure to get adequate sleep too. Aim for 7-8 hours each night so you can recharge and feel refreshed in the morning.

Take Control of Your Health

Menopause is a great time to become proactive about your health. See your doctor regularly so you can monitor any changes that may occur during this transition period in your life. Take advantage of preventative screenings like mammograms or bone density tests as well as regular checkups with your gynecologist or primary care physician. Taking control of your health now means you’ll be able to enjoy more years down the road!

Have Fun

Just because you’re entering a new phase in life doesn’t mean it has to be boring! Take up a fun hobby like painting or try out a dance class—whatever makes you happy. Get out with friends, go on vacation, or start a bucket list of things you want to do before turning 50 (or 60!). Life isn’t over just because menopause has arrived; the adventure is just beginning.

Relaxation Is Key

Relaxation is key throughout life, but especially during menopause when hormones are in flux and days can feel longer than ever before. Make sure you’re taking the time to relax when needed, whether it’s a hot bath after work or an afternoon nap on the weekend. You won’t regret it.

Adapting Your Lifestyle 

Menopause often calls for lifestyle changes such as diet modifications and exercise adjustments. For example, if you want to maintain your energy levels throughout menopause, it might make sense to adjust your daily workouts from high intensity runs to low impact yoga classes instead. Additionally, try adding more healthy fats and fresh produce like avocados, nuts, and leafy greens into your diet while cutting back on processed foods and sugary treats that can lead to inflammation and fatigue over time.

Workouts That Work For You                            

As mentioned before, exercise is important during menopause but only if it works for you. If running or biking isn’t your thing, no worries. There are plenty of other options out there that can help keep you moving without feeling like punishment. Take up swimming or try out dance classes instead; both are excellent forms of exercise that will help keep your body strong without forcing yourself into activities you don’t enjoy doing anyway. This way you can still stay active while having fun at the same time!

Knowledge Seeking = Power Gaining    

Knowledge is power when it comes to understanding what’s going on with your body during this time in your life. Arm yourself with all the information available so you know exactly what changes may come with menopause & how best to handle them when they occur.. Reach out to friends who have gone through menopause already; join online forums where others are discussing their own experiences; read books or articles written by experts on the topic; search YouTube videos dedicated to perimenopausal health; talk openly with your doctor about any concerns or questions you have as all of these things will help give you a better understanding so that when those changes do come knocking at your door, you know exactly how best approach them like the badass we know you are.

Take Control of Your Hormones

Hormones can wreak havoc on your body during menopause, but you don’t have to let them take control. Take steps to get your hormones back in balance by eating healthy foods, exercising regularly, and taking natural supplements such as vitamin D or omega-3 fatty acids. Avoiding excess sugar and processed foods will also help keep your hormones from getting out of whack.

Be Mindful of Your Mental Health

It’s normal to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed during menopause, especially if you’re dealing with other life changes at the same time. But remember that these feelings are temporary and will pass eventually. Take time for yourself and do something that makes you happy every day, like reading a book or taking a bubble bath. You should also practice positive thinking and talk to someone if you need extra support during this time.

Embrace the Changes

Menopause can bring physical changes too like hot flashes, skin changes, and weight gain but there’s no reason why these have to be negative experiences. Try looking at these changes as opportunities for growth and self-discovery instead of seeing them as something to be ashamed of. Find clothes that fit your new body shape and experiment with different makeup looks until you find something that works for you. Don’t forget that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.

Menopause should not be something that holds us back from living our best lives; it can actually open up new opportunities for us if we let it.   By taking care of our bodies, being proactive about our health and having fun while we do it all, we can turn menopause into one big badass makeover – and who doesn’t love a good makeover?  So rocking ladies – let’s embrace this new stage in life with confidence and look forward to all the great things ahead.

So go forth ladies – show the world what real strength looks like.
