MY story
I had woken up drenched in sweat about a dozen times before I could no longer brush off the daily sheet changes.
At first, I blamed it on the temperamental air conditioning or something I ate. But then it hit meâthis wasnât a one-off and nor was it the only 'weird' thing that was happening to my mind and body. And, after a lot of blood tests, appointments - and even more googling - it was official - I was in perimenopause. Being someone whoâs always sought solutions, I started researching. I wanted to know what I should be doing, taking, eatingâonly to find outdated, contradictory advice, dusty, generic supplements at the back of the pharmacy, and an uncomfortable silence around the topic. Why was there such a gap between the needs of women in this phase and the products available to us?Menopause is a universal experience, yet the conversation, investment, and innovation around it have been suppressed for far too long. It was eye-opening that while I could order a custom-matched shade of foundation at the click of a button, I was offered a generic supplement to help with night sweatsâsomething used for everything from menopause symptoms to kidsâ cavity prevention. And letâs not even get started on products created by men in their 20s.Thatâs when it hit me: todayâs women going through (peri)menopause are not the same as our mothers and grandmothers. We shop online, weâre active on social media, we earn money, and we know how to find the best products while calling out false claims. We needed a (peri)menopause solution that could keep up with us.


And thatâs how MyPause Health came to life. Iâm not a doctor and I donât have health qualifications, but I am a 42-year-old woman who experiences hot flushes at the most inconvenient times, and who knows thereâs a better way. So, I assembled a team of global experts to make that happen.Iâve partnered with the founders of a decade-old global wellness brand to ensure we have the platform, network, and operations to deliver on our vision. Together, weâve enlisted naturopaths, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and have had all our products formulated and made in Australia to the highest standards of quality.


At MyPause, we believe women deserve products that are as sophisticated and individualised as their experience. And weâre here to make that happenâbecause you deserve nothing less.
