Hot Flashes

What's going on?
As many as 75% of women experience hot flashes—a rapid, spontaneous feeling of warmth that can cause profuse perspiration.

During a hot flash, your brain mistakenly senses that your body is too warm and sends a signal to cool you down immediately. Your blood vessels expand, causing you to sweat. Some women may also experience a flushed, red look.

What can you do?
Doctors are still trying to find the exact cause of hot flashes. But you can take additional measures to stay cool: turn down the thermostat, use cool wicking fabrics for clothes and sheets, turn on a fan, and have cold water available.

What natural ingredients help?
Pycnogenol, basically the most powerful antioxidant on the planet, regulates blood flow for cooling body comfort — found in The Core, The Focus, & The Sleep.

Vaginal Dryness

What's going on?

Estrogen depletion causes vaginal skin—both inside and outside—to become thinner, drier, less elastic, and more fragile.

Your vagina will often feel noticeably drier than before perimenopause. In fact, many women experience discomfort when wiping, walking, or even sitting and other everyday activities. Vaginal dryness may also impact your sex life, but the right lotion or lubricant can easily help you feel ready for intimacy.

What can you do?
Kindra's Daily Vaginal Lotion is uniquely formulated to relieve and improve vaginal dryness. 

What natural ingredients help?
Vitamin E, an anti-inflammatory fatty antioxidant, decadently restores lost hydration. Rich oils like coconut oil, safflower seed oil, and sunflower oil organically assist with skin elasticity, retaining water, and protecting from harmful irritants. All these plant-powered ingredients come together in our bestselling The Daily Vaginal Lotion.

Skin Dryness

What's going on?

During peri/menopause you may feel like your skin is drier than usual. As our estrogen levels go down, so do our collagen levels. These decreased collagen levels can cause our skin to feel dry and flaky, day after day. The result? You may be uncomfortable and sometimes in pain, and you may notice that your favorite lotion is no longer working like it used to.

What can you do?

Find hydration designed with the special needs of your skin in mind. Apply lotion after bathing, showering, or washing your hands to help skin stay hydrated and more resistant to damage.

What natural ingredients help?

Vitamin E, an anti-inflammatory fatty antioxidant, decadently restores lost hydration, while Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, helps to form a barrier that locks moisture in. B5 is a must for mature skin— it absorbs moisture from the air, directing it towards sensitive areas that need it most.

Joint Pain

What's going on?

Your hormones and your joints are a package deal, but there are many ways to ease the journey.

What can you do?

Regular low-impact exercise and a balanced diet are great places to start when it comes to joint health. All of our supplements contain super-antioxidant French Maritime Pine Bark (aka: Pycnogenol) which is an amazing menopause multi-tasker proven to improve joint pain.

Low Libido

What's going on?

Desire is deeply personal and a number of factors can impact our sex drive. Yet before the change, our libido naturally peaks around our ovulation. But as periods and ovulation become less frequent or non-existent, those gotta have it monthly urges may become less frequent too. Less estrogen also means less blood flow to the vagina and an increase in dryness, making it harder to get in or stay in the mood.

What can you do?

Manage stress, any physical discomfort, and — above all — get in touch with your changing needs and desires. Sometimes a little “you time” is just the thing to rekindle “we time.” Masturbation, foreplay, or simply giving intercourse a whirl with the help of a hydrator to ease the way for you and your partner can all aid in kickstarting your libido. Regular sexual activity can help promote blood flow and reduce dryness, too.

Trouble Sleeping

What's going on?

You may experience some sleeplessness beginning in early perimenopause. Night sweats as well as increased sensitivity to noise and light can all contribute to disrupted sleep.

What can you do?

Reduce nighttime disruptions with sleep masks, earplugs, white noise machines, light blocking window treatments, and a more intentional, relaxing bedtime routine, so once you fall asleep, you stay asleep. 

What natural ingredients help?

Night Sweats

What's going on?
Night sweats are hot flashes that happen in your sleep. Night sweats occur when your brain mistakenly senses that your body is too warm and sends a signal to cool you down immediately. Your blood vessels expand, giving off extra heat and causing you to sweat. Even if the hot flash doesn’t wake you, being drenched with sweat and the associated cold chill that follows often does.

What can you do?
Take additional measures to stay cool: turn down the thermostat, use cool wicking fabrics for clothes and sheets, turn on a fan, and have cold water available. Relieve night sweats from the inside out with Kindra's line of body-balancing supplements.

Weight Gain

What's going on?

Hormonal changes can make us more likely to gain weight around our belly, but hormonal changes alone don't necessarily cause weight gain during menopause. Aging, lifestyle, and genetic factors play a big role here as well.

What can you do?

Diet, exercise, rest, and managing stress are key to maintaining a healthy weight as you age. Our Sleep and Core supplements are here to help you with managing stress and get a good night’s sleep.

Fatigue

What's going on?
You may experience sleep disturbances as your hormones shift on your menopause journey. Most people report less restful sleep as they mature. In addition, sleep disturbances caused by night sweats may also cause fatigue.

Growing evidence shows that sleep is essential for good health and normal functioning; most adults require 6-9 hours of sleep each night. If you find you have trouble staying alert during waking hours, the best first step is an earlier bedtime.

What can you do?
Be mindful of and address factors that can interfere with restful sleep, like stress, anxiety, and night sweats.

Adopt good sleep hygiene—follow a regular sleep schedule, stay cool at night, get regular exercise, meditate, use sleep masks, earplugs, white noise machines, light-blocking window treatments, and make sleep a priority in your life.

What natural ingredients help?
Green Tea is famous for its gently energizing antioxidant qualities. We paired it with Pycnogenol in our antioxidant-packed Focus Supplement.

Pycnogenol, basically the most powerful antioxidant on the planet, regulates blood flow for cooling body comfort — also found in The Core & The Sleep.

Melatonin is produced naturally in our bodies, and helps signal to our body that it's time to sleep. — give your melatonin levels a boost with The Sleep Enhancing Supplement.

Hair Loss

What’s going on?

Your hair and your hormones are a package deal. When estrogen and progesterone levels decline, hair growth slows and hair loss may become more pronounced. The good news is most people who see hair loss around the time of their menopause transition do not have anything medically wrong with their bodies, and hair loss does tend to slow in postmenopause with time. 

What can you do?

A healthy diet, thickening shampoos and conditioners, topical or oral solutions, and even some medications or laser therapies can help your hair look and feel its best. Talk to your doctor about what may work best for you, especially if your scalp is irritated or your hair loss seems rapid or unusual in pattern. Take it easy on straighteners or chemicals that can exasperate hair loss challenges, and manage your stress. Our Core and Sleep supplements include a powerful stress adaptogen, Ashwagandha, to help you find the balance.
