Dealing with menopausal symptoms can vary from person to person, and it's important to note that the severity and type of symptoms can differ.
Here are some general tips that may help manage menopausal symptoms:
1. Healthy Lifestyle Choices:
Regular Exercise: Engage in regular physical activity. This can help alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, improve mood, and promote overall well-being.
Balanced Diet: Consume a well-balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Consider reducing caffeine and alcohol intake.
2. Stay Hydrated:
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, which can help with symptoms such as hot flashes.
3. Manage Stress:
Practice stress-reducing techniques like deep breathing. Stress management can help improve mood and alleviate some symptoms.
4. Bone Health:
Pay attention to bone health by ensuring an adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D. Weight-bearing exercises can also help maintain bone density and help avoid osteoporosis.
5. Joints, Muscles and Brain Health:
Omega-3 fatty acids can be beneficial for women during menopause due to its anti-inflammatory properties that can help relieve joint pain and stiffness related to menopause arthritis. Omega-3 can also help reduce brain fog and the frequency of hot flushes.

Supporting women, experiencing menopausal symptoms, to stay and thrive in the workplace is a topic which I am truly passionate about. Many women resign from their jobs due to menopausal symptoms.
Women make up nearly half of the UK working population, and women over 50 represent the fastest growing segment of the workforce, so there are few workplaces where the menopause is not being experienced by staff.
Many women have said that they often find managing their menopause symptoms in the workplace very challenging. Coping with symptoms in the workplace can be hard, especially as many women find it difficult to talk about menopause at work. A positive staff experience and a rounded support is vital to encouraging staff to remain in the workplace. By educating line managers and colleagues (both young and old, male and female) about what the menopause is, how it can effect women at work, what you can do and how to approach someone you think might be going through the menopause at work, you can really make a difference!
Menopause is not just a gender or age issue. It can impact on colleagues both directly or indirectly and should therefore be considered an organisational issue.
