I got perimenopause updates and questions ladies!! Let’s talk about it!! 

Hi Tab it’s everything from chocolate, caffeine, sugar, alcohol, weight gain, stress, spicy foods, that can bring on hot flashes! Unfortunately water does help with hot flashes but of course it makes you pee. I’m having one right now while typing this text! 😊 everyone stay encouraged it’s a process we can get through this.

I had a hysterectomy at 23 yrs old & hot flashes started immediately. Go to the baking aisle of your local grocery store get some peppermint oil. Put a dab behind each ear & pulse points at the onset of a hot flash. Thank me later😉

We’re here for Tab’s Bamboo Bonnets! Yes, YOU DO need to create ‘em! You know they’re gonna sell! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Hi Tab! Love that you're sharing your Journey. As a Holistic Functional Nutritionist who is also in perimenopause, I will encourage you unfortunately that any food or drink that increases dehydration (i.e alcohol, caffeinated drinks or food) may increase your hot flashes. Most of us don't realize that the more you experience hot flashes with overall body temperature increases, you are losing ELECTROLYTES and minerals. Replacing them is essential everyday. So Not by solely drinking water but adding in those electrolytes in abundance will help. Continuing to eat mineral rich foods, for calcium, magnesium, Sodium, chloride, and potassium is a must and so helpful! The recommended amount of Potassium daily normally is a whooping 4,700mg for adults, so this no joke. Trace Mineral concentrace drops are a great start. They can be added to your water and smoothies, etc. Hang in there! There's beauty and knowledge in every path set by our Creator! ❤

Thank you Tab and everyone leaving comments and sharing !!!!!! I was so distressed about this experience!!!!!Helps to know that you are not alone! ❤

Welcome to the change 😊. I’m 61 and this journey is real. Mine started in mid-late 40’s. Please know that each journey is different. I keep my hair twisted (only letting it down primarily for important meetings) & at night wear a satin scarf with an opening on top so my head can breathe. Only thing about the pellets is that you cannot control the amount on a daily basis and our hormones can fluctuate during the period of time you have it inserted. Chocolate and red wine, gurlll that is the recipe for hot flashes / night sweats. There is a difference between flashes and night sweats. Both can be awful, but those night sweats leave your sheets wet and you sleepless which messes with every aspect of life 😅. Explore all HRT options before committing. Also make sure you are thoroughly tested either via blood or saliva. Oh, lastly get all of your hormones checked together if possible, including your thyroid levels so the doctor can see the full picture. I recommend seeing functional medicine doctors during this time of life because the look at the whole body. Practicing mindfulness 🧘🏽‍♀️ and exercise help tremendously. I know you’re already eating healthy. ❤

Please someone give this lovely lady her own show. Please! She would be a hit!!. Real talk.❤

I'm going through it. I'm so excited not to be going through this alone. I love you. Thank you. You all are saving my husband's sanity.

Hi Tab. I love you so much! Your content is forever blessing me, I mean it’s always on time! I am 41 years old and I’m almost 90% positive that I’m perimenopausal. I’ve had unexplainable weight gain, mood swings, forgetfulness, night sweats and fatigue just to name a few symptoms because the list goes on. Whew chile, it’s rough. I’m so appreciative for your candid honesty around the topic. So many women suffer in silence but not you, and I love you for sharing your journey. It allows me to speak about peri more freely. I love you for adding a some humor to a tough and sometimes unpleasant topic. Love you and keep the conversation going ❤.

Ms. Tabitha, Thank You so much for talking about this. It's like a well kept hidden secret among the nation. I'm 49, have peri menopause. Not in the best place financially. Ice cold water & a sturdy homemade fan has helped me. Also I'm reading other suggestions in the comments. Thank You Ladies as well. God Bless You!! Love You All from NC ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Tab here is something no one talks about: When you think your period is over...be careful because there will be a final gush you will not be expecting. It can come at anytime and cause embarrassment if you aren't at home when it happens. Caught off guard, you can mess up an outfit! You think your period is over then this happens and it can be alarming because you're not expecting it....then it's stops as suddenly as it starts. Know that this is normal. ❤

Hey @iamtabithabrown gurrrrrl when you said you had both dark chocolate AND red wine TOGETHER…I felt myself getting hot. I’m 55 and have been dealing with this since my early 40s. I’ve learned that chocolate, red wine and cheese turn me into one of those old school gas space heaters, lol. My husband says he can feel the heat coming off my body half way across the bed. It don’t matter what time of the month it is, if I eat those things, the blaze is coming. And I’m natural too but now because of Meno (Peri swapped placed with her big sister) I can’t cover my entire head, I get too hot. So I have to wrap my head with the top of my hair exposed to release the SOME of the heat. I still be hot, but I don’t feel like I’m sitting under a dryer while I’m sleep. I have no answers for all the peeing causing I get up at LEAST 3 times a night no matter how much or little l’ve consumed and it don’t matter when I consumed it. I’ve heard laying on your left side makes your bladder fill up faster but since I be sleep I don’t know how long I’m on that side. Oh and fyi, don’t be shocked if you wake up one morning and the world is blurry, that’s another “gift” that comes with it AND raggedy stubborn chin hairs start popping up over night😡. Girl it’s a LOT but we gone be alright…eventually😊

I started taking Potassium supplements for something else and they have drastically reduced my hot flashes!! 🎉 not sure if it’s just me or if the supplement would help others….but it’s something simple I wanted to share ❤

It’s crazy that the symptoms you experience happen during all phases of life and they can be confusing as well. I love when this conversation happens because for decades it was soo taboo.

I was fighting the good fight with peri and realized I was losing 😂. After consulting a midlife specialist, I went on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and praise God. So much better. I was going through things I didn't even realize - like anxiety and low moods. Didn't realize until I was back to my happy go lucky self. I suggest keeping a food diary to notice which foods bring on flashes. It can be different for everyone.

Hey peri pre and post menopausal Queens, if you can shell out a coin for a "Sleep Number Climate 360 Smart Bed" please do so! The cool setting saved my entire soul! 😊🌸🙌🏽

She is so hilarious yet so for real 😂 the excitement on her face says it all. I'll be 54 this year & have yet to experience this, but Lord knows I know it's coming & I don't want it😊 Power to The Women✊🏽❤

Yes! Lord! Somebody with ANSWERS! These hot flashes, and the peeing, Absolutely Ridiculous! Thank you Tab, and all of the wonderful ladies who have shared information, Thank you so much! I am truly grateful! Tab, keep the information coming, I am very appreciative to you and your viewers. May everyone have a blessed day, and have a wonderful New Year!❤

Hormone repair manual is the name of the book for anyone interested. I haven't met peri yet but experience side effects of having hormonal imbalances. For instance, Dry skin is on another level. We in'ness together y'all. Thank you for sharing the journey.

Tabitha I’ve been through menopause and it’s no joke my friend! My poor husband went through it with me, and we have made it out on the other side of it. He was very understanding and I’m so grateful too God that he was, most would be ready to ship you out.. Hot flashes oh my goodness those things had to be the pure devil himself.. Went home I’m from North Carolina and it’s about 4.5 hours where I live and at the time I was half way into menopause and I was with my in-laws on this trip and my sister in-law and we were like an hour into the trip and all of a sudden hot flashes hit me I was dripping in sweat it was so bad. Here it’s winter time and I’m asking my husband to turn the air on and my father in-law was cold due to taking blood thinners because of blood clots and circulation trouble so I was mindful of that so I held off asking for the air as long as I could so I just rolled my window down a little bit and my father in-law is like what are you doing young lady lol I’m old as dirt lol.. Needless to say we got to our destination and I was dripping in sweat and that was no fun at all. This went on for days and all I could do was pray and ask God to help me.. I tell ya I’ve never wanted to see my period so bad but that was long gone.. Mine was very bad and I kept saying how I would trade one for the other oh know that’s not what you want.. The peeing all night long is real and it gets so old because I never get good rest anymore.. The first five hours of trying to sleep is a joke because all I do is pee every 30mins to an hour like clock work. I thank God my kidneys and bladder works but I just need a little sleep that’s all...Tabitha I can’t wait to here what the specialist has too say about the pellet, I’ve heard it’s a wonderful thing.. I Wish you the best...

Huny yes! I'm going through it!! Not a fan of the every 45 mins pee, nor the hot flashes... I start with a full set of PJs and wake in panties only...gotta get me some bamboo. Thank you Tab!! So glad you touching on this because I was alone in my despair. Praise Jesus for help🙏🏽💜👏🏽

The wine..🤦🏽‍♀️ will make you flash. Each person is different for me. I love Tabasco sauce couldn’t give up my Tabasco sauce but if I had anything hot, hot tea, hot Tabasco, I would get hot flash I would dress and layers and take it off and keep me a cool beverage you can buy a portable fan but you just have to embrace it and you’re just starting. I’m 68 I’m done, I started at 48 my menstrual stop! My grandson would say Gigi you’re having a hot flash because your face is red🤣

Tabatha I’ve been through the pre-menopausal, and what works is Primrose and wild yams, get you some at the nutrition center or order them on line. They’re all natural no side effects take them every day you’re a subscriber Peggy from California. God bless you

I'm 41, will be 42 this year and I seriously think I'm going through peri menopause. I give thanks for this information, because I need to know what to do!

It's not just the sugar in chocolate, it's the caffeine. I'm on the other side of menopause but if I drink too much coffee in a week , I flash. So I limit it to maybe two or three cups a week then take a week or more off. You are HILARIOUS!!! People looked at me strange when I would stand outside in the winter time. LOVED THAT COLD BREEZE IN MY FACE! Lol! ❤

Please keep us posted. I'm going through it right now at 43. I'm about to look into those bamboo pj's and ask around about that treatment, never heard of it b4 tonight, but I'm willing to try ANYTHING to help. It about 20 degrees where I'm at right now and at night I'm still HOT. 😢 unbelievable. Tab you have been a blessing to Say the least 🙏🏾

Thank you so much ladies for being a such wonderful community ❤❤❤

At 53, I'm on the other side of #TheChange but glad you're getting helpful suggestions to guide you through this chapter 💜

Yes it’s the sweets during that time. I’m craving sweet potato pie big time , hair thinning libido on pause 😂

Tab try grinding thyme have half a teaspoon in boiled hot water a day. It works wonders. Also, grind some rosemary dry leaves and add half a teaspoon to boiled water an hour before sleep. You will feel like a teenager in the morning. I started experiencing with herbs bcos of the heavy periods and pain I was having. I took a teaspoon of grinned thyme every four hours instead of painkillers. It worked like magic and it dried up the heavy period within two days. The energy I had on the third day was outstanding. I use spend two weeks recovering from the blood loss during my period. The level of iron and vitamins in grinded thyme is outstanding. Thank Jesus! I wish I started taking thyme tea 30yrs ago what an herb. Enjoy this wonder herb !

This kind of information would have been priceless to me all those years ago… I started “the change” early. I was only 30. Had just had my tubes tied. When I went to the Dr’s about my symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, sex drive changes & etc. All they they told me I was that, “You are too young” and didn’t do any tests. Here I am now at 46 and finally almost done. Twelve months without a period is what I’ve heard to know you’re no longer in perimenopause 🤷🏽‍♀️😂 Thanks for being so open 🥰

Hi Tab I am Post Menopausal! I tried the BioTe Pellet and it didn’t work for me. It took my body in different directions that I didn’t like it. So for me it was a NO. I am experiencing so much especially with my weight. I work out 5+ days a week and I mainly eat fruits and veggies and eat 1-2 times a day. This is So Hard I’m trying to figure it out but I’m determined to be successful on this journey. Blessings Upon Blessings to You, Your Family & Your Businesses.

Tab CHHHIIILLLEEE these hot flashes ain’t playing! I have learned that chocolates, alcohol, stress and caffeine bring on hot flashes. I have never heard of bamboo pajamas but I will look into them. If they work, I will be wearing them boys as clothes lol so if y’all see me out mind yo business because it’s my business 😂😂😂

Thank God for Tab and this community ❤ I'm 52 and no one in my family ever talked about this information.

I was told it was sweets not just chocolate. I keep a fan beside my bed. Killed one so I'm on the second one. When the flash hits me I turn the fan on towards my feet until I get cold 😅. Then I repeat the process off and on when needed through the night. My husband even started liking the fan on 😂😂😂. It feels so wonderful when the fan is blowing on me until I get cold 🥶

God Bless You Tabitha Brown❤. It is a blessing for you to share...lets break the stigma together ya'll🥶🥵😴🤯😴🥰

You and Donna cracked me up. Glad I'm over my menopause.... It's been about 15 years now. I shouted Thank you God no more red! I just went through it until it was ovah. Thanks for your site, I appreciate God using you the way He's doing.

😂😂😂Hey Tab, the good thing about Peri is, she is now in control of your cycles, so you will no longer have a predictable visits. Symptoms aren't always going to be so bad. Peri is like riding a surfboard.🙏😂😂😂❤️🙋

Tab, thank you for helping make light of this very frustrating phase of life that I myself am in. You are hilarious. Thanks for all the tips and drawing a community together around this 🫶🏾🙏🏾

I’m rolling at “I’m excited to go to bed tonight” 😂😂

Thank you for this video and the previous one. I’m menopausal now. Yes, chocolate, red wine, processed sugars, caffeine but any Chronic stressors in your life will keep the sweats coming. Your hair and body chemistry will change during the process. On a positive note Donna will recover and the mustiness will end in a couple of years. Unfortunately, this is nature and part of our journey. ❤

Bless you, Tab! Your transparency is helpful and necessary to any of us (me) who are going through it, too. I've never even heard of bamboo pajamas. I'm online looking right now!

I was told that my body was changing, adapt to the change. Eat, act and dress to comfort yourself. It worked for me.

I have the Shilucheng bamboo sheets and the temperature control is A-1! Now, I gotta get some pj’s. Yeah Tab, the sugary & caffeinated products will get those night sweats going. When I reduced my pop intake, I noticed a huge difference. While we’re talking about the sleep aspect, see about getting a chiropractic adjustment, if you don’t get them already. Spine alignment impacts so many things. I recently had one and it had helped me sleep better.

Hey Tab! The best bonnet I have found is 100% Silk (not Satin)! Silk is natural, it doesn’t tangle your hair or pull your strands and because it is natural, it breathes and allows your head to stay cool. I sleep on a 100% Silk pillowcase and have purchased some for my kids as well! Praying for all of us! Thank you for sharing. Love you❤🙏🏾🫶🏽

Hi Ms Tab!! I love your channel! New subscriber based on this topic alone!! I’m over 50 and chocolate and wine have the same effect for me! 😥 I’ll try the bamboo pjs because the fans sometimes aren’t enough and then they’re too cold… until they aren’t again. Thank you for covering peri and mena so beautifully candid so that I can in turn have these discussions with my daughter. God bless you! 💛

I only did natural remedies. It is a journey that you will get through. Exercise and keep a great relationship with God.

I prayed to the Lord to take away my flashes and poof, they were gone! It was a hallelujah moment!!! I had them only 3 months and that was over 10 years ago. I pray you find a solution!

Yes that’s true Tab!!!!! About the chocolate and sweets!!!! Vitamins c help’s too Tab! Love you Tab 🙏🏾❤️

Tab Thankyou for addressing this! I went to my doctors and get treatment for my menopause because of you to end the suffering of the very severe hormone issues and the quality of life with my husband. Prayers to you and keep me in yours too!

Hello Woman of God…you are correct, each person is different. My short story is Fibroids at age 44, Hysterectomy at 45 and I began Perimenopause at 46. I’ve used estradiol patches, Bioidentical medication and now I’m taking a compounded gel medication that dissolves under my tongue. It helps a lot. I am nearly 65. God Bless you on your journey.

Hey girls…Hey! So…I have been going through menopause for the last few years! I have been dealing with all of the symptoms, ok??! But help is on the way for those of you who has not found (at least) a temporary fix, it’s called Estroven! I have been using this product since 2017, the caveat is they come in several color-coded boxes depending on your symptoms. I found that the purple box works for all of my symptoms, including hot flashes & night sweats!! I wish you all the best for all of my beautiful sisters of all walks whose been living with this sometimes dreadful, “But There’s Hope” temporary condition. Many blessings a long this well-traveled journey - you are not alone🙏🏾💞💞

I love Tab…she’s the realist!❤

Tab!!! Please research 8 Sleep mattress!!! I invested in an 8 sleep mattress topper in which you could adjust for cooler temp on my side and a warmer side for hubby, it has helped me tremendously at night. It begins cooling/warming before you retire so that it will be at the perfect temp and it tracks sleep patterns and other things. It has definitely helped me get my rest!!! Hope this helps!!! Be Blessed!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

But BAYYYBEEE! That hair and skin is FLAWLESS❤

Sis my advice is to READ everything you can on perimenopause as well as menopause, you will be amazed. You will become aware of how your feeling can/will change while in public allowing you to made snap decisions rather than getting into it with others.

I’ll be 24 on Thursday ❤😊

Tab i believe I'm going thru it because I started having cycles at 9 and now I'm 40 and I go thru hot sweats can't sleep and always gotta pee 😳

Hi Tab, I noticed you asked about the pellet. I am currently getting through my first round of the pellet and yessssss. It has given me back my life again. I am finally feeling like me again. The hot flashes, mood swings anddd dryness of Ms. V has disappeared. I have named it the “Cinderella Experience “. Because you can feel when it is getting time to have another treatment. Slowly you start turning from the carriage back to to the pumpkin 😂😂 so to speak. I definitely recommend it to Anyone who is going through perimenopause and having a rough time. Mine was pretty severe to the point my husband was being affected. But since I started the pellet therapy… He is loving having his wife back again. I hope you consider it once you have spoken to your specialist. You definitely won’t regret it. ❤

Hi, I just wanted to let you know, I let my man see your video you did , cause he really don’t understand, it helped, so Thank you so much. I’m so happy and proud of you, I’m a NC girl from Stokesdale, live in Greensboro ❤Thank you so much

Oh my goodness! You just shed so much light on this life change I’m experiencing!! 😅😅 Thanks so much Tab, I’ve got to get myself some bamboo pajamas asap ! And the night time bathroom trips! When I say I get so sick of my bladder 😂😂 and it’s disrespect at the most inopportune times. Just when you’ve gotten into that good deep sleep! 😂😂

I feel you, Tab! The excessive peeing at night decreased when I decreased my liquid intake a few hours before bed. (I have to follow the same rule I used to tell my children...no liquids close to bedtime😊). Another possibility is because of pre-diabetes. The carbs turn into sugar, and the body works extra to keep overload of sugar from entering blood, meaning the kidneys have to work harder and produce more urine to rid our bodies of the excess glucose. I used to get up every hour! Thank you for being who you are!

I was a wine lover. The hateful menopause monster took my love for wine, coffee, glutten foods and sugar away. And left me with night sweats, insomnia, hot flashes, mood swings, indigestion, high blood pressure, migraines and brain fog. Any advice u share is sooooooooo much appreciated

Thank you!!! Sometimes, doctors don't want to hear us about being perimenopausal symptoms, but I know my body.

Hey Tab! Thank you.... I appreciate you sharing your journey.... It's good to know that we all are experiencing the same things throughout this stage of life.

I highly recommend HRT if it's appropriate for your specific health history. I thought we has to wait until after menopause to start it, but learned that wasn't true and OMG the relief from all of the symptoms was quick and amazing! I also have uterine fibroids and it's helped with those as well. I'm so glad I found the right doctor. Good luck to all of us women warriors! ❤

Thank you for talking about perimenopause cause these people over here in denial that I’m experiencing it.

Another thing that we ladies go thru besides the hot flashes during menopause, is feelings of anxiety with heart palpitations. I thought I was losing my mind and dying until I finally talked to a nurse friend of mine who gave me valuable information about menopause symptoms. The one piece of advice that I got that has helped me the most with the anxiety was to take one calcium supplement daily. The anxiety disappeared. I am 10 years in and I have to say that nothing that was suggested professionally or otherwise, has helped with hot flashes. I refuse to do Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) because of the high risk of cancer.

Tabitha you’re the best!! 😂🤍🙌🏽

Yes, Please keep us posted Ms. Tabitha. Love You & the Family!!! NC ❤❤❤

I sleep in tank top and shorts, still hot. Bamboo pajamas? Ain't Nobody told me nothing!!! I need them in my life. Pellet treatment? Gyrl! STOP! I'm call my Dr but not right now cause it's just 5:50a , can't wait until 8a. Thanks for sharing!

Tab! It’s the red wine for me! Alcohol in general causes menopause symptoms! I LOVE chocolate. I think I can cause issues but not as bad as wine. I’m also on that Dotti patch!!! Girl heaven sent. Ask your OBGYN about it.

Yes Ma'am, that dark chocolate was a trigger for me. I no longer have a cycle, but there are times that I Swear my body has those cravings and such from those days. I truly think my herbal teas are keeping things at bay and under control, though.

Yes i heard they do ! And my bestie says she sleeps like baby since she started the “pellets “. Good blessings 🍀 Tab thanks girl i can relate 😂❤

Thank you for sharing! We women are in this together!

Hey Tabitha - Because there were not a lot of Black women talking about menopause when I started my journey (4) years ago, I recently started my own SPICE Life movement. I help black women get their SPICE back during menopause!!!

I wish I had this 2years ago but we will get through this together. Thanks Tab😊

Oh…Thank, Tab for all that you do, girl!!😘

Sugar and alcohol - 🔥🔥 Stress 🔥🔥 When I fast - NO HOT FLASHES. Helped me see just how diet and life style driven it can be!!

Hi Tabitha Brown thank you for using your platform to help all women. Donna looks fine.

I haven’t really had any hot flashes during my peri-menopause, but my mood changed into mild to moderate depression and anxiety. My doctor recommended Ashwagandha, and it's been extremely helpful 😊❤. I will be getting that book...thanks!

I have the heat on, the window open, lying in bed, half out the covers. It's 12 degrees outside, and I have the window open. Wine and chocolate sets me off. The wine makes me perspire. No, I sweat perfusiosly. Water pours off of me like a fountain. Hormones raging, insomnia, cravings. Geeze!

It’s all sugar for me. Welcome to having your own personal summers! We are going to get through this. ❤❤

Two things: 1) There is always a connection to food. Since becoming vegan, I have been challenged by an over-abundance of hives when my body overheats. Hives seem to be caused by high histamine plant foods that vegans eat. The reactions have been so bad that I sought medical treatment for anaphylaxis. So, I have been taking an anti-histamine each day that has greatly reduced the severity of my hot flashes and night sweats. (I’m not recommending an anti-histamine; just sharing what has surprisingly worked for me.) 2) While not a cure, you might find of interest the podcast, “Black Girls Guide to Surviving Menopause,” by Omisade Burney-Scott. She’s a fellow North Carolinian, and her interviews with women going thru “the change” are remarkably refreshing and candid.

Tab...thanks for sharing your experience....I was lucky I had minimal symptoms...wishing you the best...hang in there! 🙂💕

I'm so glad this video popped up!! I'm 45yrs old and my period came to a complete STOP and then I was spotting the next month so I'm getting blood work done to make sure it's menopause and not anything else...my concern is still being attractive to men as I transition through

I. LOVE. THIS!! The support ,not the flashes!😂

"A minute on the lips or sweat on the hips" ....hahaha😂😂😂😂🎉🎉❤❤❤... I love her!!!

I’m not going through perimenopause, but I am postpartum & these are the pajamas I need ❤ hormones, breastfeeding, night sweats, cold feet ( but refuse to sleep in socks) 😂 I need these !

Omg I never respond to anything but i have to jump on the band wagon. Definitely going through this right now. Everyting night sweats, staying HOT all the time, peeing all through the night. So glad im not alone. Thanks ladies for sharing im taking notes. Mrs. Tabitha u are a jewel. Love your content stay blessed.

A silk scarf is my answer to the bonnet problem. Natural, breathable, and the perfect texture for curly-coily hair.

thank you Tad for sharing God bless you i’m 44 years old and I believe I’m going through perimenopause myself Lord help me help us all! 😅

Tab, Wow it was meant for me to find your video tonight. It's so crazy because I just watched you on the Tia cooking show yesterday with my mother in law & thought you were so funny. You have me rolling in tears right now laughing. God sent your channel to me as I'm not feeling too well you made me not think about the pain. I believe going through the same things. Lately I've been peeing a lot at night as well & it is very hard to sleep. I'm just a HR in of having a hysterectomy to prevent further health issues & I've been experiencing the hot flashes since about 6 months afterwards. I don't like it, I can't stand being Hot & I do understand the up & down moods😂😂😂. I'm still learning about peri & menapause as well. Thank you so so much for sharing with us & I agree that there should be more topics on menapause out for women to be aware of. As well as helping the husbands understand it as well so that they're aware of the life changes that we're going through. Again thank you so much for sharing &; I wish you much success in everything that you do . ❤👊🏽✊🏽 & Stay💪🏽. Now I'm off to the bathrm again🙄😂

Hi Tab and everyone. I haven't had a cycle since my mid-30s. I'll be 55 at the end of this month. I had hot flashes consistently for about three years. My cousin from the country told me to drink lemon water when the hot flashes hit. Sure nuff, when I took in the cold lemon water, the hot flashes would subside. I dont have hot flashes consistently any more but when I eat chocolate or anything with high caffeine, I feel it. So yes, you may need to cut back or eliminate caffeine for the sake of the hot flashes. I still suffer with fatigue and muscle weakness but I'm working on an exercise routine. I look forward to the updates and info you have coming to us. Thank you.

I love my natural path! Black Kohash Dong Quai DIM Wild Yam Maca Alcohol is the worst for menopause.

Baby!!!! Them bamboo sheets are to die for!!! I am full blown menopausal and my son gifted me a set of these sheets and when I tell you I was over the moon!!! I ordered 3 more sets, they actually work!!!!!!

I must use a good deep conditioner every time I wash my hair because it gets so dry, and hair color makes it worse. Hair color makes my hair soooo dry & tangled, I don’t want to color my greys anymore. Thanks so much for mentioning our nighttime bladder issue. Perimenopause is so sad. Let’s pray 🙏🏾

Found bamboo sleep caps. And bamboo satin lined caps. And bamboo hair wraps online

Prayer will take you thru too!

I'm not there yet, but I am glad you are imbracing it.
