Dealing with perimenopause often means navigating a flood of products — supplements, apps, fitness programs, gut health tools, sleep aids, hormone support blends, and more.
Many promise fast relief. Very few deliver.
This page is your trusted hub for honest, evidence-informed product reviews, written specifically for women in perimenopause and menopause.
Product Reviews for Perimenopause: What’s Worth Your Time (and What’s Not)
As a board-certified physician and functional medicine provider, I review products through a different lens — not hype, not trends, and not influencer marketing, but real-world usefulness, ingredient quality, safety, and whether something is actually worth your money.
How I Approach Product Reviews
Every product featured here is reviewed based on:
-
Ingredient quality and transparency
-
Clinical relevance for women 40+
-
Safety in perimenopause and menopause
-
Realistic expectations (no miracle claims)
-
Ease of use and sustainability
-
Cost vs benefit
-
Who it’s right for — and who should skip it
Some products are helpful tools.
Others are overhyped — and I’ll tell you that too.
Perimenopause and Menopause Supplement Reviews
Supplements are one of the most common areas of confusion in perimenopause. And there are so many out there- all hitting our social media feeds every day and promising theirs is the one that is going to solve all of your problems- it’s overwhelming!
So, that’s why in this section and the linked posts, I break down:
-
What ingredients actually matter
-
Which blends are thoughtfully formulated
-
What’s missing in many “hormone” supplements
-
When supplements help — and when lifestyle matters more
You’ll find reviews of:
-
Hormone support blends like Happy Mammoth Hormone Harmony, FemGuard Balance, Estroven, Femmenessence, DIM supplement reviews, and more!
-
Gut health supplements like SEED probiotics, Happy Mammoth Complete Gut Repair, my review of the best probiotics for women, and more!
-
Sleep and stress support formulas. Sleep can be challenging in this stage of life- and often supplements can be your saving grace. Check out my review of the best supplements for perimenopause, all stages, and insomnia symptoms included!
-
Protein powders and nutrition supplements
-
Vitamins and minerals commonly recommended in midlife. In this supplement review, I include a variety of options, from more affordable store-bought options to professional-grade multivitamins/minerals that support you through perimenopause and beyond!
👉 These reviews are educational and not a substitute for individualized care — but they help you make more informed choices. It’s always advised to talk with your provider before adding any supplement to your regimen as advice online or via social media should never be considered individualized healthcare advice.
Perimenopause Supportive Apps, Programs & Digital Tools
Technology can be incredibly supportive — when it’s designed for women in midlife. In this section, I dive into supportive fitness apps, and how to use tech to support your hormone balance goals
I review:
-
Fitness and movement apps (walking, Pilates, strength, mobility)
Each review covers:
-
Who the app, training, or tech is best for
-
Pros and limitations
-
Whether it’s beginner-friendly
-
If it supports sustainable change
Movement, Fitness & Recovery Tools in Menopause and Perimenopause
Exercise needs change in perimenopause — and so should the tools we use. In most cases, we can’t just exercise more intensely or for longer; this might actually fight against our metabolism when we reach perimenopause and beyond. But exercise is still essential and a necessary tool in our stress, metabolism, and hormone balance- we just need to make it work for us, not against us.
Here you’ll find reviews of:
-
Walking-based programs
-
Low-impact strength training options
-
Recovery and mobility tools
-
Wearables and fitness trackers (when relevant)
The focus is always on:
-
Hormone-friendly movement
-
Injury prevention
-
Long-term consistency
Gut Health & Functional Medicine Tools
Gut health plays a huge role in hormone metabolism, inflammation, and overall well-being.
That’s why I created reviews about:
-
Probiotics and gut repair supplements
-
Testing tools (with education, not diagnosis)
-
Nutrition strategies and support products
These reviews emphasize context — because no single product fixes everything.

💬 Final Thoughts
Perimenopause is a time to be more discerning — not more overwhelmed. It’s easy to feel like the miracle cure is just around the corner, but perimenopause and menopause stages and symptoms are unique to each woman, and supplements are well, just that- supplemental! And fitness routines must be something you will enjoy doing, so they are also not a one-size-fits-all approach. Core pillars like a healthy lifestyle, gentle and enjoyable movement, social connection, and mindfulness tools like meditation, journaling, and deep breathing should be the cornerstone of your self-care, with supplements supporting them.
You deserve honest guidance, clear explanations, and reviews that respect your intelligence and your health. So, try not to fall for the hype, and reflect on what you truly need to support you as a unique, lovely, and amazing being.
