Are you a female who is maybe (or definitely) noticing signs of perimenopause or menopause?
WELCOME! And well done. Getting here wasn’t easy. You’re a veteran of life’s battlefield, baby. And it looks good on you. You’re wiser, cooler – probably funnier, too.
We say this chapter isn’t about fading back. It’s about stepping forward, with all the guts and gravitas you’ve earned. Sure there are changes. But there is so much to celebrate about this time in life. We’re happy to be here and support you with menopause-tuned nutrition and wise-woman inspiration.
Did you know that menopause means that your body burns and stores energy differently? (ok, worse)
… but food can be medicine.
As estrogen levels decline, your metabolism slows down and it becomes easier to gain weight—especially around the belly.
In addition, muscle mass decreases, which further slows calorie burning and makes life’s heavy lifting harder!
Hormonal shifts also reduce production of collagen, sebum, and hyaluronic acid, making things feel dry, brittle—and dare we say testy?—all around.
If that weren’t enough, lower estrogen levels can contribute to rising cholesterol, increasing the risk of heart disease. (There’s more, but these are some of the “highlights.”)
The good news is that changing up your nutrition—by increasing protein, fiber, and special supportive nutrients—can help you maintain healthy energy, weight and mood throughout this time of life.
Our easy and delicious MENOMIX smoothie mix is Nutritionist-formulated to provide about 1/3 of your daily protein and fiber needs, with active super-nutrients carefully selected to support menopause symptoms.
MENOPANTRY is founded by women, to support women with high-quality nutrition to help you feel your best every day.
Our Clinical Philosophy – Food is Medicine
The hormonal transition of perimenopause and menopause represents one of the most significant physiological shifts in a woman's life, affecting virtually every system in the body.
Instead of isolated nutrient supplementation, we believe in a holistic approach of supporting three core pillars of health through nutrition. These are using real foods to:
encourage a beneficial microbiome
support metabolic health
minimize inflammation
Microbiome Support
A healthy gut microbiome has long been recognized as fundamental to overall health, influencing everything from nutrient absorption to immune function to mood regulation. During perimenopause and menopause, declining estrogen levels affect intestinal barrier integrity and microbial balance. Our formulation includes fiber-rich and polyphenol-rich ingredients that have been used traditionally to nourish beneficial bacteria, supporting digestive health and the production of beneficial metabolites.
Metabolic Health Enhancement
Maintaining metabolic health has an impact on hormonal balance as well as many other physiological elements that contribute to the chronic diseases we are all hoping to avoid as we age. Inattention to metabolic health can lead to changes in energy levels, body composition, and blood sugar regulation. Our blend includes fiber and whole food ingredients known to support steady energy and healthy metabolism, without relying on stimulants or isolated compounds.
Anti-Inflammatory Support
Chronic inflammation is recognized as an underlying factor in many age-related health concerns, and this natural inflammatory burden tends to increase as estrogen and progesterone decreases and with some of the more typical changes in body composition during menopause. Our formulation provides plant compounds that have been valued across cultures for their natural anti-inflammatory properties, supporting the body's inherent ability to maintain balance.
Clinical Integration and Safety
This food-based approach is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing healthcare protocols. Because our formulation contains no vitamins, minerals, or medicinal compounds, it poses no risk of nutrient toxicity or drug interactions, making it an ideal complement to both conventional and integrative treatment plans. (check ingredients for nutrient interactions that may be experienced with any medications you are taking)
Evidence-Based Fundamentals
Our approach is rooted in well-established principles of human physiology and nutrition science. Each ingredient has been selected based on its traditional use and recognized properties in supporting one or more of our three foundational pillars. True to the holistic principles of nutrition, while separately important these pillars are all interconnected. Rather than chasing novel compounds or the latest trends, we've embraced a timeless principle shared by wise thinkers across disciplines: we're often better served by thoughtfully applying what we already know than by pursuing the next new thing.
The Daily Ritual Advantage
Delivered as a genuinely delicious daily smoothie, our formulation transforms therapeutic nutrition from another pill to take into a nourishing ritual that we can look forward to. This approach acknowledges that consistency and enjoyment are essential for long-term adherence and optimal outcomes.
