We know that the symptoms of the perimenopause can be many.
Have a look at this from Gen-M highlighting the 48 different symptoms. I naively thought if I have never had a hot flush, the menopause wasn’t in sight. How wrong was I?
As the Founder of Ludo, and as a result of launching our Ludo Menopause Module I have learned a huge amount. There are things we can be doing to help minimise the symptoms, feel better and boost our body with goodness. Bomimo MenoShake does this brilliantly. I met Sam, Founder of Bomimo, through the FemTechLab Accelerator. Sam and I were accepted into the cohort after a stringent screening process, and I see why her product made it through. It is BRILLIANT.
I have spent 2 weeks drinking a Menoshake each day. Each morning I make up a quick shake, and the way I do it is:
- A heaped spoonful of Bomimo
- A heaped spoonful of protein powder (I use the unflavoured stuff!)
- A spoonful of peanut butter
- A few dates
- A few bits of dried coconut
- A bit of almond milk
- Water
Note, one of the key attributes of the MenoShake is that it is in fact a protein shake itself with 13g of protein in it. We need more protein during menopause to help maintain muscle mass, for hormone regulation and for weight management and I add a bit more when I’ve been pushing it hard in the gym, as I think my body needs it.
The Bomimo MenoShake contains high strength multi vitamin and mineral complex, plant proteins, marine collagen, adaptagens to help with anxiety, now mood and energy levels including maca, Ashwagandha and ginseng, and phytoestrogens known to help with menopause symptoms including red clover and flaxseed. So good for the feel good factor!
Blitz it all up and there you go! It tastes delicious, and it is honestly a joy to drink. Bomimo contains all sorts of good vits, along with collagen for the skin and ashwaganda to help the mind. In 2 weeks I have noticed I feel better. My skin feels better and a good plus for me, is the shake stops me reaching for the croissant and has dropped the want for a less good breakfast. I am going to keep going to get the goodness in, and there is the added benefit that I feel a sense of ownership in my perimenopause journey. I am taking action every day to help minimise the symptoms and I feel more empowered with my body.
Rather than letting the menopause happen to me, I am taking steps to look after me! Winner!
