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 air conditioner or something I ate. But then I realised, this wasn't a one-off, nor the only 'weird' thing 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 who’s always sought solutions, I started researching. I wanted to know what I should be doing, taking, eating - only to find outdated, contradictory advice, dusty, generic supplements and an uncomfortable silence around the topic.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, for (peri)menopause - there was hardly anything.
That's when it hit me: today's women going through (peri)menopause are not the same as our mothers and grandmothers. We shop online, are active on social media, earn money, and 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 that’s how MyPause Health came to life. I’m not a doctor, but I am a 42-year-old woman who experiences hot flushes at the most inconvenient times, and who knows there’s a better way. So, I assembled a team of global experts to make that happen.
Together, we’ve enlisted naturopaths, nutritionists, and physiotherapists, and all our products are formulated and made in Australia to the highest quality standards.
