Natural Menopause Support: How Functional Mushrooms Help You Feel Like You Again
At PURE JOY Mushrooms, we believe that feeling better, performing better, and living better isn’t just a goal—it’s your right.
Especially during one of life’s most powerful and challenging transitions: menopause.
If you’re navigating brain fog, mood swings, sleepless nights, or anxiety, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken.
You’re experiencing a natural, biochemical shift. Today, we’ll explore how functional mushrooms—like Lion’s Mane and Reishi—can offer gentle, science-backed support during this time.
🌙 Understanding the Biochemistry of Menopause
Menopause generally occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but symptoms often begin years earlier in a stage called perimenopause.
As hormones like Oestrogen and Progesterone begin to decline, their absence disrupts more than your reproductive cycle. These hormones also help regulate:
Neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine
Sleep cycles and energy metabolism
Cognitive function, mood, and memory
Bone and heart health
💬 Common Menopause Symptoms
Brain fog and forgetfulness
Mood swings, irritability or anxiety
Depression or emotional low spells
Fatigue and poor sleep
Low libido
Hot flashes and night sweats
Weight gain and metabolism changes
🧠 Menopause and Mental Health: A Hidden Crisis
Many women experience emotional distress—including depression, anxiety and a sense of lost identity—during menopause.
A recent UK survey found that 1 in 10 women leave the workforce due to symptoms, and nearly half say their job performance suffers.
This hormonal shift doesn’t just affect your body—it affects your confidence, creativity, and connection with others.
At PURE JOY, we believe no woman should feel she has to suffer silently—or power through alone.
