Top 5 Natural Ways to Manage Menopause Anxiety

If you’ve been hit with sudden waves of anxiety in perimenopause or menopause, you’re not alone.  Here's my 5 Top Natural Ways to Manage Menopause Anxiety.

Many women experience increased anxiety, fear, or panic in midlife, even if they’ve never struggled with it before.  (I can relate to the new anxiety)

Whether it’s a racing heart in the car, fear of heights, or constant overthinking that keeps you up at night, menopause anxiety is real, and it’s often hormone-driven.

The good news? You can manage it naturally and gently. Here are my top 5 tried-and-tested methods:

1. Balance Your Blood Sugar

One of the biggest hidden causes of anxiety in midlife is unstable blood sugar. When oestrogen and progesterone start to decline, your body becomes more sensitive to blood sugar swings which can feel like anxiety, dizziness, or irritability.

Try This:

• Eat protein with every meal 
• Reduce caffeine and sugar 
• Avoid skipping meals or fasting too long 
• Add magnesium-rich foods like spinach, almonds, and pumpkin seeds 

2. Use Homeopathy for Emotional Balance

Two of my favourite homeopathic remedies for menopause anxiety are:

• Sepia – for women who feel emotionally numb, flat, irritable, or like they want to escape 
• Pulsatilla – for weepiness, clinginess, mood swings, and emotional sensitivity 

Every woman is different, but these gentle remedies often make a real difference fast.  Ask me if you'd like help with Homeopathy.

3. Practice EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique)

This simple acupressure technique is powerful for anxiety and emotional overwhelm.

It calms your nervous system, resets your stress response, and is a tool you can use anywhere, even during a panic moment.

You can tap on phrases like:
“Even though I feel anxious, I choose to feel safe.”

Ask me for an EFT Session if you'd like to try this!

4. Support Your Sleep

Lack of sleep = higher cortisol = more anxiety.

Menopause often disrupts sleep with hot flushes, racing thoughts, and night wakings, which then makes daytime anxiety worse.

Natural support:

• Magnesium glycinate 
• Passionflower or valerian before bed 
• No screens 1 hour before sleep 
• Turn off your alarm and give yourself more rest if needed 

5. Talk to Someone Who Gets It

Sometimes, what you really need is to be heard by someone who understands menopause anxiety from personal and professional experience.

I created the Get Back to You Power Hour for exactly this reason.
