It starts with your gut
By focusing on the crucial gut–hormone connection, you harness the estrobolome's pivotal role in oestrogen metabolism, zeroing in on the root triggers of menopause symptoms, such as anxiety, brain fog and hot flushes.
Press play to listen to our resident Doctor, Dr. Shahzadi Harper explain the science.

Get to know your hormones
Hormones are the body’s chemical messengers, sending signals between your brain, gut, muscles, and organs. Balanced hormones mean you feel more like yourself.
Oestrogen
Oestrogen
Crucial for reproductive health and involved with every cell in our body, this hormone feeds our bones, heart, brain, skin, muscles, and joints. It controls inflammation, mood fluctuations, and our gut’s sensitive microbiome.
Progesterone
Progesterone
Progesterone prepares the body for pregnancy while supporting sleep and feelings of calmness and wellbeing. Best known for its role in our menstruation cycle and pregnancy, it also supports sleep by promoting the neurotransmitter GABA.
Insulin
Insulin
Insulin regulates blood sugar, which is critical in energy management, energy production, and fat storage, especially around the belly.
Testosterone
Testosterone
Testosterone is involved in supporting our mood, driving motivation, energy, and muscle mass creation. It is also converted to oestrogen, which becomes more important during menopause as the ovaries shut down. It also plays a role in blood sugar regulation, which is critical in our energy management, energy production, and fat storage, especially around the belly.
Cortisol
Cortisol
The hormone involved in the famous “fight or flight” stress response you’ve heard about, cortisol affects mood, energy, and fat storage. When cortisol spikes, so does our insulin, which “switches on” fat storage. This is why managing stress is such a key factor in maintaining a healthy weight.

When the science makes sense
Menopause is officially marked when you haven’t had a period for 12 consecutive months. But the transition often begins much earlier — typically up to 10 years prior — with perimenopause.
What makes this hormonal shift challenging are the symptoms. There are over 50 commonly reported ones, caused by fluctuations in oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone — all of which play a key role in mood, energy, libido, sleep, and more.
Menopause can also be premature or medically induced, but on average, natural menopause is reached around the age of 52.
The Better Menopause is science in action — supporting your body through every stage of this transition.
