Thinking of trying supplement stacking? Read this first…

When hot flashes happen and sleep evaporates, it’s tempting to reach for every bottle that promises relief. But stacking supplements without a strategy can backfire.

→ Too much of something can mess with your hormones (even more!) and even cancel out the benefits

→ Over-supplementing can lead to unwanted side effects, interactions or simply wasted money.

→ And just because it’s “natural” doesn’t mean it’s harmless in high doses or combinations.

Tip: Always check with a health professional before taking multiple supplements.

📍If you’re in Leslieville, The Beaches or East Toronto, our clinic focuses specifically on helping women 40+ navigate perimenopause changes with clarity and confidence. No guessing. Just a clear plan based on your symptoms, your labs and your goals.

World Menopause Day 2025
This Year's Theme: Lifestyle Medicine in Menopausal Health

We're excited that the International Menopause Society's newest published White Paper is on Lifestyle Medicine in Menopausal Health, which shines a light on what Naturopathic Medicine does best!

It highlights the approach we live and breathe every day at Restore — empowering women through evidence-based, lifestyle-centred care.

The paper highlights how the six pillars of Lifestyle Medicine —
🍎 Healthy eating
🏃‍♀️ Physical activity
📝 Mental well-being
🚭 Avoidance of risky substances
💤 Restorative sleep
💞 Healthy relationships —
can meaningfully improve energy, mood, sleep, and long-term health during menopause, which can span up to 40 years of our lives!

These pillars are what we assess and strategize to support in our Simply Menopause focused program — where we provide women with integrative, science-based, and personalized care.

At Simply Menopause, our Menopause Society Certified Practitioners combine clinical expertise with compassion to help women navigate this transition feeling informed, supported, and confident.

✨ Menopause isn’t a disease — it’s a transition.
With the right support, it can be a time of renewal, strength, and balance.

✨ Not all menopause care is equal.
Here’s what to look for in a practitioner 👇

1️⃣ Start with certification.
Look for a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) — it’s the gold standard in training, safety, and evidence-based care.

2️⃣ Choose evidence-based expertise.
Care should be grounded in science, not trends. The right practitioner combines medical knowledge with practical, personalized support.

3️⃣ Seek whole-person care.
Menopause isn’t just about hormones — movement, nutrition, sleep, and emotional wellbeing all matter.

4️⃣ Find a team that listens.
Look for a collaborative, patient-first approach where your goals guide your care. Menopause support should feel like a partnership, not a prescription.

5️⃣ Trust certified care.
At Simply Menopause™ at Restore, Dr. Sue and Dr. Sapna are Menopause Society Certified Practitioners (MSCPs) offering compassionate, evidence-based care for modern midlife women.

💛 You deserve certified, collaborative, gold-standard care.

Fatigue in Perimenopause: More Than Just Tired

That “bone-deep exhaustion” so many women describe during perimenopause is real—and often misunderstood.

Hormonal changes, especially the drop in estrogen, affect brain chemistry and energy levels. But it’s not just hormones.

🧠 Mood changes like anxiety or depression
💤 Sleep disruptions from hot flashes or night sweats
🩺 Health conditions like arthritis or metabolic shifts
⚡️ Stress overload and reduced resilience

Together, they add up to profound fatigue—often mistaken for burnout or dismissed as “just being tired.”

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone—and support is available.

Postpartum or Perimenopause? Or… both?

If you’ve had a baby in your 30s or 40s, you may find yourself navigating postpartum recovery and perimenopause at the same time. Yes—these two transitions can overlap, and the symptoms can feel surprisingly similar.

Here are 8 signs that show up in both postpartum and perimenopause:

🧠 Mood swings or anxiety
🌙 Sleep issues (even when the baby sleeps!)
🌫️ Brain fog or forgetfulness
😴 Persistent fatigue
🔥 Vaginal dryness or discomfort
💤 Low libido
📈 Weight changes, especially around the midsection
😳 Hot flashes or night sweats

Both phases are driven by significant hormonal shifts—but they might need to be addressed differently. A tailored, integrative approach can help bring clarity, relief, and balance.

✨ You’re not imagining it. And you don’t have to just “wait it out.” Support is available. Don't hesitate to reach out!

🔥 Over 40 and feeling like a ticking time bomb? You're not alone! 😤

Blame it on:
• Hormones - fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone impacts your mood and patience! 🎭
• Sleep? What's that? Insomnia during this transition amplifies our annoyance 😴
• Hot flashes turning you into a human furnace 🌡️
• Life throwing curveballs - Stress resiliency is messed up due to the hormonal changes

Additionally, perimenopause is independently associated with an increased risk of mood disorders, including depression and anxiety, which can manifest as irritability.

Women report not feeling like themselves, experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, overwhelm, decreased coping ability, anxiety, nervousness, and difficulty concentrating - all of which can contribute to irritability.

If you have a short-fuse these days, reach out to us today! We'll help you stay pleasantly spicy and not lose your friends in the process 😄 🌶️
