The duration of hot flushes varies greatly between women. Some may only experience them for a few months, while others continue to have them for years, in some cases, up to a decade or more.

Research shows that the earlier hot flushes begin in the menopausal transition, the longer they tend to last. Frequency is also highly individual, for some women, they occur only a few times per week, while others may experience several in a single hour.

Understanding this wide variation helps to normalise the experience. No two menopause journeys are the same, which means treatment and support should always be personalised rather than one-size-fits-all.

For a personalised, natural approach to combating hot flushes and the symptoms of menopause, book your appointment with Cindi.

Magnesium is often the go-to mineral for sleep support, stress relief, and easing muscle tension, and for good reason. It plays a vital role in calming the nervous system and supporting muscle relaxation and is the “regulator” mineral that keeps the other electrolytes in check. Too little or too much can throw off that balance.

With modern lifestyles placing greater demands on our bodies, from chronic stress to processed foods and environmental factors, magnesium stores can become easily depleted, making adequate intake even more important.

But here’s the catch, taking magnesium in isolation, or in excessive doses can create imbalances with other electrolytes such as calcium, potassium and sodium over the long term.

Although magnesium deficiencies are common, self-prescribing isn’t always the best approach, particularly at high doses.

Working with a naturopath or nutritionist will help ensure your supplement plan is tailored to your needs, considers interactions with other nutrients, and avoids unintended imbalances.

Targeted Nutrition for Memory & Cognition

In addition to lifestyle supports, certain nutrients are recognised for their powerful roles in memory, cognition, and brain health. Here are some key players:

🧠Magnesium L-threonate
This unique form of magnesium crosses the blood–brain barrier effectively. Clinical trials have shown improved short-term working memory and executive function in older adults taking 1.5–2 g/day, effects that may begin by week 6 and sustain through 12 weeks of use.

🧠Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA)
The brain is rich in fats, EPA and DHA are foundational to neural structure and signalling. Omega-3s support memory, learning, and resilience to oxidative stress, while also balancing inflammation.

🧠Acetyl-L-Carnitine
Known for its role in mitochondrial energy production, this compound also supports acetylcholine synthesis, vital for attention, memory encoding, and mental clarity.

🧠Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
As an antioxidant and mitochondrial cofactor, CoQ10 helps protect neural tissue from oxidative stress while supporting cellular energy, especially important for an energy-hungry organ like the brain.

🧠B-complex vitamins
B vitamins are critical for neurotransmitter synthesis, energy metabolism, and cognitive performance. Deficiencies (even short-term) can quickly manifest as brain fog, apprehension, or concentration issues.

These supplements are best used as part of an integrative plan, alongside personalised nutrition, lifestyle optimization, and stress management, to provide broad-spectrum support for cognition and memory.

Chronic stress and poor sleep are two of the biggest underlying drivers of brain fog. Elevated stress hormones, such as cortisol, can interfere with memory and focus, while a lack of restorative sleep prevents the brain from consolidating memories and “resetting” overnight.

Over time, this creates a cycle of mental fatigue, reduced concentration, and emotional overwhelm. To break the cycle, the nervous system needs nourishment and rest.

Naturopathic strategies that may help include:
🧠Daily movement to regulate stress hormones and improve circulation to the brain.
🧠Restorative practices such as yoga, meditation, or deep breathing to calm the nervous system.
🧠 Creating a healthy sleep routine: dimming lights in the evening, avoiding screens before bed, and winding down with calming herbal teas or relaxation techniques.

When stress is reduced and sleep is restored, the brain has space to recover. This leads to improved clarity, sharper thinking, and a calmer state of mind.

Is poor sleep or stress having a negative impact on your brain health? It's time to book an appointment.

Anxiety & Natural Mood Lifters

There are many simple lifestyle practices that can make a profound difference in how your body and mind cope with anxiety.

These natural mood-lifters include meditation or yoga to calm the nervous system, regular exercise to release tension and stabilise mood, and a diet rich in vegetables, fibre, and low-glycaemic foods to maintain balanced blood sugar.

Nutrients such as essential fatty acids from fish, walnuts, or chia seeds help nourish the brain, while correcting common deficiencies (like magnesium, iron, vitamin D, or zinc) may improve neurotransmitter balance.

Counselling and laughter therapy provide emotional release, and quality sleep (7–9 hours each night) is essential for restoring balance. Each small, consistent choice adds up to stronger foundations for long-term mental wellbeing.

For a tailored, personalised plan book yourself an appointment with Cindi.

love collagen

Collagen through life’s stages – because when life demands more, your body needs support. 💪✨

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, forming the foundation for skin, bones, cartilage, and connective tissue. But did you know collagen production naturally declines with age? Factors like menopause, intense athletic training, physical injury, and even lifestyle choices such as smoking can also accelerate this breakdown.

Whether you’re an athlete pushing limits, navigating hormonal changes, or recovering from injury, healthy collagen levels can make the difference for stronger bones, healthier joints, and improved tissue resilience when you need it most.

Inflammation and Anxiety

Research shows that chronic inflammation is closely linked with mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. Inflammation affects the brain’s ability to regulate neurotransmitters, which can contribute to fatigue, low mood, poor focus, and difficulty coping with stress.

One of the most effective ways to reduce inflammation is through food. Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods daily can support both brain and body health, helping to stabilise mood and improve resilience.

Anti-inflammatory foods to include regularly:
🥦 Dark green vegetables (broccoli, kale, spinach)
🍓 Brightly coloured berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
🥑 Avocado
🫒 Extra virgin olive oil
🐟 Oily fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel)
🌰 Walnuts and almonds
🍠 Sweet potato and other root vegetables
🍊 Citrus fruits (oranges, mandarins, grapefruit)
🍵 Green tea

Pairing these foods with regular movement, quality sleep, and stress management practices can help lower inflammation, reduce anxiety, and promote clearer, calmer thinking.
