If you’ve ever experienced a shift in mood in the run-up to your period, you’ve had a taste of what menopause might bring – fluctuating oestrogen and progesterone levels unsettle the delicate balance of serotonin and dopamine, leading to shifts in mood and heightened anxiety. Harvard Health describes perimenopause (the years leading to eventual menopause) as an “emotional vulnerability window,” influenced not only by biology, but by stressors of midlife – be it caregiving, career strain or sleep disruption.

To help you through every stage of your hormonal journey, we formulated Morning & Night to support your mental wellbeing from the inside out. In our independent, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial, improvements to emotional balance were observed in as little as 4 weeks, with full results at 12 weeks.

While stress is a normal response to day-to-day triggers, anxiety in menopause can creep up (seemingly) without reason. Recent research has shown that declining oestrogen stimulates a hyperactive stress response via the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, releasing excessive cortisol and feeding chronic anxiety. But there is a beacon of hope: a large-scale UCL study in the Journal of Affective Disorders found that beyond taking gold-standard menopause treatment, HRT, mindfulness-based approaches and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) markedly improved mood, reduced anxiety, and sharpened concentration. 

Morning & Night is designed to work with your changing hormones to improve how you feel, whether you’re just entering perimenopause or well into your postmenopausal years. Morning & Night subscriber, Leonie, says, “Lumity has made an enormous difference to how I feel, which was my main aim. I’d started suffering awful hormone connected anxiety which was out of character and, looking back, really quite debilitating. Lumity has made me feel like me again!”

Nutrition & Supplements
How you feel begins with what you consume. Nutrition can either starve or nourish the brain – and diets rich in Omega‑3s, antioxidants and plants rich in phytoestrogens (flaxseeds, soy, chickpeas) can rebalance hormones and give the mind what it needs to function at its peak, according to Cleveland Clinic.

After you’ve filled your plate, be sure to fill your supplement bottles with our Morning & Night supplement, the UK’s original longevity formula rich in Omega 3s, Flaxseed Oil, Sage and other nutrients known to support hormones and whole body health.

Exercise & Sleep
Whether your chosen form of exercise is yoga, HIIT or simply going for a stroll around the block, all movement stimulates endorphins, improves mood and protects against cognitive decline in menopause. 

As you move through menopause, you’ll likely notice that your sleep is under siege by night sweats or hot flashes, and good sleep hygiene can get you back on track. Our clinically tested Morning & Night supplement works with your circadian rhythm to support sleep on a cellular level – in our independent clinical trial, 84% noticed better sleep with the consistent use of Morning & Night.

Mental Engagement & Social Connection
Don’t allow your mind to become idle – instead, keep your mind busy with puzzles, hobbies, social groups and engaging one-to-one conversations. A study published in Psychologia found that keeping busy with social gatherings, especially those involving exercise, can prevent cognitive decline, reduce depression risk and improve overall wellbeing.

Professional Support
While some mood changes during menopause are normal, it’s always best to seek professional help when self-care and lifestyle adjustments aren’t enough. Your GP may put you in touch with psychologists, nutritionists, endocrinologists or other specialists who can make your menopause experience as smooth and comfortable as possible.

With 28 biologist-selected Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids and Omega 3s, Morning & Night supports you through all stages of menopause – noticeably improving sleep, skin, hair, mood, energy and more.
