At elénzia, we’ve always believed in the power of clinically backed wellness solutions, and we’re excited to see these values reflected in an important conversation on menopause care. As part of World Menopause Day, our co-founder, Elizabeth, recently sat down with The Guardian to discuss how women can be empowered with evidence-based care during the menopause. This interview reinforced the importance of creating research-driven options for women during this significant life stage.
The Importance of Evidence-Based Menopause Care
Menopause is a natural phase of life, but it’s one that often brings significant physical and emotional challenges. Many women experience symptoms such as hot flushes, brain fog, fatigue, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. Despite this, access to clear, effective support is often limited, with many women left to navigate their symptoms with little guidance. This is where elénzia aims to make a difference.
In her interview with The Guardian, Elizabeth emphasised the need for more efficacious menopause care. “We knew that evidence-backed, targeted ingredients — proven to work through clinical trials — were out there. We wanted to use these to create products with science, efficacy and wellness at their heart.” Elizabeth explained.
Providing Alternatives to Traditional Treatments
One of the key points in Elizabeth’s discussion was the need for alternatives to traditional treatments such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT). While HRT can be a highly effective treatment for some women, it isn’t suitable for everyone. Many women either can’t or prefer not to take hormones, making non-hormonal alternatives essential.
This is where elénzia’s approach stands out. We believe in the power of supplements that have been rigorously researched and designed to support the body’s natural balance. As Elizabeth described in the interview, “we knew we needed to create a supplement in two parts. One part, MENOPAUSE: AM to address symptoms during the day; the other, MENOPAUSE: PM, to address symptoms throughout the night and promote restful sleep.”
The Role of Self-Care and Wellness
Beyond supplements, Elizabeth also touched on the importance of self-care and maintaining a balanced lifestyle to help manage menopause symptoms. At elénzia, we advocate for a holistic approach to wellness that includes mindfulness, proper nutrition, and quality rest. In her discussion, Elizabeth shared how incorporating these practices can help women feel more in control of their symptoms.
She noted how “women have busy lives,” but “having an element of small, consistent self-care habits within your day – even just taking time for a relaxing evening bath – is really important for your overall health and wellness.”
