Menopause, Midlife and Motherhood; Kimberly Wendschlag

Are you a perimenopausal or menopausal woman looking for ways to naturally manage/improve your symptoms?

I've been digging into this a lot and here's some helpful tips I've found! If you'd like to know how I'm filling these gaps, I'm open to share!

Gut health: Impacts hormone metabolism and mood.
Why it helps: Hormonal fluctuations can throw gut health off balance, leading to bloating, digestive issues, and increased stress/anxiety.

Blood sugar control: Stabilizes energy and reduces hot flashes.
Why it helps: Blood sugar swings worsen hot flashes, cravings, and energy dips in perimenopause.

Inflammation management: Reduces joint pain and discomfort.
Why it helps: Inflammation often increases during menopause and contributes to joint pain, headaches, and overall discomfort.

Mood support: Addresses anxiety, brain fog, and irritability.
Why it helps: Lower cortisol (the stress hormone) and naturally support serotonin levels (the "feel good" chemical).

Nutrient support: Covers common midlife deficiencies.
Why it helps: Nutrient deficiencies (especially in B vitamins, D, and magnesium) can worsen fatigue, mood swings, and joint discomfort during menopause.

Your biology hasn’t changed, but your environment has.

Your ancestors didn’t fear protein, fat, or the sun.
They ate real food, rose with the sun, and moved all day.
They lived in sync with nature.

Today, we live under artificial lights, bathe in endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and eat ultra-processed foods filled with refined carbs and seed oils.

We fear fat, but not the industrial oils that disrupt our metabolism.
We avoid the sun, but spend hours staring at blue light that wrecks our circadian rhythm.
We slather on synthetic products, but rarely question their hormonal effects.

It’s no surprise chronic diseases are rising. Our modern world is hijacking our biology.

But your body hasn’t forgotten how to live.

The answer isn’t more medication or quick fixes. It’s addressing the root cause, using food as medicine, and creating an environment where your body can heal.

Get back to the basics.
That’s where real healing begins.

Great article by Lara Briden, a naturopathic doctor and women's health & hormone specialist sharing about magnesium. Plexus Biocleanse is a magnesium supplement. 😉

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
"As my patients can tell you, I prescribe magnesium for almost every hormonal condition, including PCOS, thyroid, hair loss, PMS, migraines, and perimenopause. I love magnesium because it makes people feel better almost immediately.

📚 What’s up with this mineral? Why are we all so deficient? We’re deficient because our cells dump magnesium during stress. We actively push it out of our bodies as a way to rev up our nervous system and cope with daily life.

📚 A revved-up nervous system is what an average modern human needs to get through an average modern day. If you work, commute, drink coffee or worry, then you are deficient in magnesium. If you live the meditative life of a monk on a mountainside, then you’re probably okay.

8 ways magnesium rescues hormones

🌿 REGULATES CORTISOL. It calms your nervous system and prevents excessive cortisol. Your stress hormonal system—also called your hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis—is your central hormonal system. When it functions well, then your other hormones (thyroid and reproductive hormones) will function well too.

🌿 REDUCES BLOOD SUGAR and normalizes insulin. It’s so effective at improving insulin sensitivity that I refer to magnesium as “natural metformin”. Healthy insulin sensitivity means fewer sugar cravings and is effective treatment for weight loss and PCOS.

🌿 SUPPORTS THYROID. It is essential for the production of thyroid hormone. It is also anti-inflammatory, which helps to quiet the autoimmune inflammation that underlies most thyroid disease. Other ways to address thyroid autoimmunity include gluten-elimination and a selenium supplement.

🌿 AIDS SLEEP. As I’ve written before, magnesium is the great sleep-promoter, and sleep is crucial for hormone production. Sleep is when we should enjoy a beneficial surge of anabolic hormones such as DHEA and growth hormone.

🌿 FUELS CELLULAR ENERGY. It’s so intricately involved with mitochondria and energy production, that we can safely say: “Without magnesium, there is no cellular energy”. Hormonal tissue has a high metabolic rate, and so requires even more cellular energy and more magnesium than other tissue.

🌿 MAKES HORMONES. It aids in the manufacture of steroid hormones including progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone. That may be why magnesium has been shown to reduce hot flashes by 50 percent.

🌿 ACTIVATES VITAMIN D. Without enough magnesium, vitamin D cannot do its job. Conversely, too much vitamin D supplementation causes magnesium deficiency.

🌿 SLOWS AGING. It prevents telomere shortening, reduces oxidative stress, and enhances the production of glutathione.
Magnesium is a big player in emergency rooms, where it treats heart arrhythmias, heart attack, and migraines. But why should it be restricted to acute care? It’s time for magnesium to take up its role in treating hormonal problems." 💗 LB

Blood sugar is very important for everyone - athletes, individuals who are underweight or overweight, and even those who wish to maintain good blood sugar levels. When we have stressed cells in our body, we set our body up to become insulin resistant instead of being insulin sensitive to keep our body balanced and working properly.

"Insulin resistance doesn’t happen overnight. When most of your diet includes empty calories and an abundance of quickly absorbed sugars, liquid calories, and carbohydrates like bread, pasta, rice, and potatoes, your cells slowly become resistant to the effects of insulin. Your body increasingly demands more insulin to do the same job of keeping your blood sugar even. Eventually your cells become resistant to insulin’s call, resulting in insulin resistance. The higher your insulin levels are, the worse your insulin resistance. Your body starts to age and deteriorate. In fact, insulin resistance is the single most important phenomenon that leads to rapid, premature aging and all its resultant diseases, including heart disease, stroke, dementia, and cancer.

Insulin resistance and the resulting metabolic syndrome often comes accompanied by increasing central obesity, fatigue after meals, sugar cravings, high triglycerides, low HDL, high blood pressure, problems with blood clotting, as well as increased inflammation."
- Dr. Mark Hyman

Whether you need to lose, gain, or maintain weight - it is beneficial to all to balance out your body/cells so they can work like they are supposed to. 🥰

MTHFR ... Something I'd never heard of prior to Plexus, but have heard about it a ton since! 😜 And no, I'm not cussing 😂.

MTHFR: Many individuals have an MTHFR gene mutation that can affect how your body metabolizes folate and folic acid (pretty important stuff!) it's estimated that 40-60% of American have this.

Did you know XFactor and Xfactor Plus are one of the few fully methylated multivitamins out there?!? Yes!!!

*MANY people have no idea they have the mutation or have ever even heard of it.
*For the estimated 60 million people affected by this gene mutation, a curse is exactly what it can feel like sometimes IF you don't take the proper proactive steps.
*Unfortunately, without taking proper proactive health measures, those with a MTHFR mutation are directly predisposed to many serious health problems like:

▪️heart disease
▪️hypothyroidism
▪️diabetes
▪️cancer
▪️addictive behaviors (alcohol, drugs, food),
▪️severe depression/anxiety
▪️blood clots
▪️dementia
▪️infertility or increased instance of miscarriages
▪️autoimmune diseases and food allergies
▪️Neural Tube Defects

If you have this condition, you NEED a methylated vitamin supplement - one that is already converted because your body can’t do it. Makes sense right?

XFactor and XFactor Plus are non-synthetic multivitamins and antioxidant supplement with C, D, E and B vitamins, including methylated folate and methylated B12, and New Zealand Black Currant.

Also contains aloe which vastly improves absorption, so you don’t see all those vitamins go down the toilet each day. 🙌
