    How Skin Changes During Menopause and What You Can Do About It!

    Menopause changes more than your hormones—it transforms your skin, also. In this episode of Menopause Conversations, we highlight the surprising ways menopause impacts your skin and how you can take charge of your skin’s health with natural, effective strategies. Many women will experience dryness, wrinkles, dullness, or sensitivity during perimenopause and beyond, but it’s not just because you're “getting older.” Hormonal shifts, particularly declining oestrogen levels, play a big role in hydration, elasticity, and collagen production. Beyond hormones, factors like gut health, hydration, and stress management all influence how our skin looks and feels. In this episode, we uncover: What’s Behind the Changes? Explore how declining oestrogen impacts hydration, elasticity, and collagen production, leading to dryness, wrinkles, and thinning skin.Gut Health and Skin: Learn why your gut microbiome (especially the estrobolome) is key to clear, glowing skin and how to naturally support gut health with prebiotic foods and regular detoxification.Hydration Hacks: Discover how much water you really need (hint: it’s more than you think!) and how hydration impacts both your skin and digestion.Collagen’s Role: Find out why we lose up to 30% of our collagen in the first 5 years of menopause and which types of collagen (hint: marine collagen Types I and III) are best for supporting skin health naturally.Topical Solutions: Get tips on using hyaluronic acid, antioxidant serums, and facial oils like rosehip and argan oil to hydrate, protect, and nourish your skin.Face Yoga for Skin Health: We revisit Episode 170 with Vanamala from Face Yoga Australia to explore how simple exercises can tone facial muscles, boost circulation, and reduce wrinkles.Nutrition for Vibrant Skin: Understand the importance of omega-3s, brightly colored fruits and vegetables, and fiber-rich foods in promoting radiant skin from the inside out.Stress and Skin: Learn how chronic stress accelerates aging through cortisol’s effects on collagen and simple practices like breathwork and meditation to manage stress effectively. This episode is packed with natural, actionable tips to help you embrace your skin’s journey through menopause. With the right care, your skin can remain healthy, glowing, and vibrant at any age.

    Have you noticed strange, new allergy symptoms creeping in during perimenopause? Whether it’s recurring headaches, itchy skin, sinus congestion, brain fog, heightened anxiety or even eczema, these symptoms could be a result of fluctuating hormones that spike your body’s histamine levels. In this episode of Menopause Conversations, we dive into the surprising reason behind why allergies often worsen in menopause and, more importantly, how you can find natural relief. I uncover how estrogen and histamine interact in the body, often creating an “allergy storm” as estrogen fluctuates during perimenopause. From sinus issues to hives and everything in between, many symptoms are a result of the interplay between histamine and hormonal shifts.

We’ll cover how probiotics, prebiotic foods, and digestive support can help your body manage histamine more efficiently.      Holistic Solutions and Supplements – Learn about natural antihistamines like quercetin and stinging nettle, liver-supporting supplements, and bioidentical progesterone options to help balance your hormones and reduce histamine buildup.Lifestyle Tips for Allergy Relief – From hydration and moderate exercise to stress management practices, we cover easy lifestyle tips to help you reduce your histamine load and take back control of your wellness. Tune in to discover empowering, natural solutions for managing histamine intolerance.
