What to do to Stay Healthy After Menopause?

Your Guide to Energy, Strength & Hormone-Smart Living

Once you’ve crossed the menopause threshold, the question becomes: How do I stay well now? While the drama of hormone fluctuation may have settled, your body still needs focused support to thrive in this new phase.

This isn’t about reclaiming your “old self”—it’s about giving your present self the tools to feel strong, steady, and connected from the inside out.

Why Post Menopause Wellness Needs a New Lens

You’re no longer riding the same hormonal tides that defined your reproductive years—or even perimenopause. Post menopause is a time of gentler rhythms, but it also comes with new considerations:

Your adrenals and thyroid take on more hormonal responsibility
Bone, brain, and heart health rise to the top of the list
You’re more sensitive to stress, blood sugar fluctuations, and inflammation

Now is the moment to build your long-term foundation, not coast.

Four Pillars of Post Menopause Health

Hormonal Support Without Overwhelm

Your ovaries may have stepped back, but your adrenals and fat tissue now take the lead in oestrogen and progesterone production. Support them by:

Managing your stress bandwidth (not just stress!)
Prioritising restorative sleep
Considering adaptogens and lifestyle rhythms that honour your body’s pace. When you find the right adaptogen for your body, it can be a game-changer!

2. Metabolic & Blood Sugar Balance

Hormonal shifts can affect how your body stores fat, uses energy, and handles the starchy carbs.
Focus on:

PFC-balanced meals (Protein–Fat–Carbs)
Strength-based movement to maintain muscle and metabolism
Supporting insulin sensitivity with tailored nutrition

3. Gut and Detox Health

The gut plays a huge role in how oestrogen is metabolised and cleared. Plus, it affects mood, immune function, and inflammation.

Include fibre-rich veg, prebiotics, and targeted probiotics
Support liver detox pathways with cruciferous veg, herbs, or supplements
Assess for food intolerances or sluggish digestion if symptoms persist (we are back to Kinesiology again!)

4. Nervous System Resilience

Think brain, mood, and energy. You need a flexible nervous system—not a burnt-out one.

Breathwork, walks in nature, journaling: simple nervous system resets
Vagal nerve support to enhance rest–digest mode
Time for joy, connection, and quiet—not just productivity

Testing Is Your Friend

Annual blood work is a start, but it rarely shows the full picture. Consider:

Adrenal testing
Thyroid panel (including T3, not just TSH)
Oestrogen metabolism markers
Micronutrient and gut testing to support full-body health

Testing gives you numbers. Kinesiology helps you connect the dots—showing how those patterns are playing out in your body, emotions, and energy.

The Key Takeaway

Thriving after menopause isn’t a mystery—it’s a strategy. By tending to your hormones, metabolism, digestion, and emotional bandwidth, you create a foundation that supports not just health, but joy, clarity, and confidence in your body.

This is about growing into the woman you’re becoming, not returning to the woman you were.
