Ep. 68 | Menopause Supplements: 6 Essential Nutrients Your Body Needs Right Now
You're taking a handful of supplements every morning and you're not even sure which ones are doing anything. Or maybe you're taking nothing because the options are so overwhelming you don't know where to start.
Either way — your body is going through a massive shift right now. And certain nutrients become harder to absorb, easier to deplete, and more critical than ever during perimenopause and menopause. The right ones can make a real difference in how you feel. The wrong approach is just expensive guesswork.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
Why nutrient deficiencies become more common during perimenopause and menopause — and how hormonal shifts change your body's ability to absorb and use what it needs
The six essential nutrients your midlife body needs most:
Vitamin D — for bone health, immune function, and mood
Magnesium — for sleep, stress, and muscle recovery
B Vitamins — for energy, brain health, and hormone balance
Calcium — for bones, heart, and muscle function
Omega-3 Fatty Acids — for inflammation, brain fog, and mood
Iron — for energy and preventing fatigue
Smart food pairing strategies that improve absorption — because it's not just about what you eat, it's about what your body can actually use
Flexible, practical ways to get these nutrients through food first — no strict meal plans required
When supplements actually make sense and how to know if you need them — including how testing can take the guesswork out of it completely
Here's what most supplement advice misses: if your body is running on stress and your gut isn't functioning well, you can take every supplement on the shelf and barely absorb any of it. Your Response Capacity affects absorption too. That's why getting your system regulated first makes everything you put into your body work harder.
Nutrients matter. But the foundation has to be there first.
This episode is for you if: You're a woman over 40 in perimenopause or menopause who wants to know which nutrients actually matter — not a list of 30 supplements, but the six that make the biggest difference. You want clear guidance, practical strategies, and someone who can help you figure out what your body specifically needs.
