Menopause is a natural stage of life, but the symptoms can feel anything but manageable. Hormonal changes can affect both the body and mind, and not everyone experiences them in the same way.

Fluctuations in Oestrogen and Progesterone can impact mood, sleep, and temperature regulation. This is why symptoms often include hot flushes, night sweats, low mood, irritability, and disrupted sleep. When sleep is affected, it can make everything feel more intense and harder to cope with.

Stress can also amplify these symptoms. The body’s stress response can heighten physical sensations and emotional reactions, creating a cycle where symptoms feel more overwhelming over time.
