October is Menopause Awareness Month - the perfect time to shine a light on natural ways to support your body through the perimenopausal and post-menopausal years.
Our in-house Nutritional Therapist Catherine has shared some of her go-to food picks in her latest Instagram reel - all available at Wild Oats. These are some of the everyday essentials she regularly recommends to customers and clients to help nourish hormone health, support mood and sleep, and maintain strength and balance through this transition.
💛 Flaxseeds
A great source of fibre and phytoestrogens, which can help support hormone balance naturally. Sprinkle over porridge, yoghurt, or salads for an easy boost.
🤍 Tahini
Rich in calcium and magnesium – two minerals that play a key role in bone health during and after menopause. Perfect for drizzling on toast, blending into dressings, or enjoying with fruit.
🌱 Pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate & leafy greens
These are all excellent sources of magnesium, which supports mood, relaxation, and sleep. Catherine often recommends a magnesium supplement alongside these foods for extra support.
🥚 Lentils & organic eggs
Packed with quality protein, essential for maintaining muscle mass and bone strength as hormone levels shift.
🍵 Herbal teas – Sage & Red Clover
Herbal teas like sage have traditionally been used to ease hot flushes, while red clover may help support hormonal balance. Customers and clients alike have shared positive feedback about both.
You can find all of these items in-store at Wild Oats – and if you’d like personalised supplement advice, our team of Natural Remedies Advisors are always happy to help.
