Surviving menopause while juggling kids and older parents

It’s exhausting looking after kids, taking care of an older parent, while also trying to work and keep the house clean - right?

Add menopausal symptoms like insomnia, hot flushes, and mood swings into the mix and it can feel downright overwhelming. 

Here a few tips to help you survive the journey

• Talk to your family. Be open about your menopausal symptoms and how they make you feel. 
• Look after yourself – physically and mentally. Eat a balanced diet, exercise, and meditate.
• Support your hormones. Include oestrogen rich food like soya, tofu, and flax seeds into your diet. Take a food supplement like Kira Hormonal Balance that has B vitamins, vitamin C and folic acid.
