You’re Not Alone: Finding Connection in the Midst of Menopause
Perimenopause and menopause can feel like incredibly lonely journeys. One day you’re sailing through life with a sense of rhythm and predictability, and the next, you’re grappling with brain fog, night sweats, anxiety, and a deep sense that something is shifting—not just physically, but emotionally too. For many women, it can feel like no one really understands. Even when surrounded by friends or family, there’s this quiet voice inside whispering, “Is it just me?”
But here’s the truth: you are absolutely not alone.
Every day, countless women around the world are going through similar experiences. They, too, are navigating sudden mood swings, disrupted sleep, changing bodies, and that quiet sense of invisibility that can creep in. And while every journey is unique, the emotional and physical upheaval binds us in a shared experience.
We founded Natural Menopause Research on the belief that this shared experience deserves better options—more than just Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT). Women need real, evidence-based alternatives, grounded in science, shaped by nature, and centred on individual needs.
And let’s talk honestly for a moment: for some women seeking these alternatives, the journey hasn’t been easy. Many have shared how they’ve felt dismissed—or even gaslit—not just by parts of the medical system, but sometimes even by fellow women. The prevailing message can be: “Just take the hormones - it’s the only serious option”.
But that’s not the whole story. And it’s certainly not every woman’s story.
We believe that a woman’s desire for a natural, effective, scientifically validated treatment is not only legitimate—it’s deeply personal and absolutely worth pursuing. No two women experience menopause the same way. Your symptoms, values, and concerns are your own. That means your treatment should be, too.
There is no single “right” answer—only what’s right for you. Whether that’s MHT, botanical therapy, lifestyle changes, or a combination, you deserve access to options backed by both science and empathy.
Right now, we’re leading first-of-their-kind clinical trials exploring botanical treatments for the psychological symptoms of peri/menopause—including anxiety, low mood, and brain fog. It’s a major step forward in giving women credible, validated choices.
