REFLECTIONS ON LIFE AND WHAT IT MEANS TO LIVE FULLY…

The first time I picked up The Menopause Reset by Dr. Mindy Pelz, I wasn’t just looking for answers—I was looking for hope. And I found both.

This book isn’t just another manual on hormones; it’s a heartfelt, science-backed guide written by a woman who’s lived through it. Dr. Pelz speaks with clarity, compassion, and deep wisdom. Her approach made me feel seen, heard, and empowered.

💡 What I Loved:

1. The Personal Touch
Dr. Pelz opens up about her own struggles during perimenopause—something many of us can relate to. From brain fog and mood swings to fatigue and weight gain, she doesn’t hold back. And because of that, her advice feels real and grounded.

2. The Five Lifestyle Changes
What stood out to me were the five major shifts she suggests for balancing hormones naturally:

• Diet – She dives into the power of eating clean, especially removing inflammatory foods and increasing healthy fats.
• Fasting – I learned so much about the benefits of intermittent fasting and how to do it in a hormone-friendly way.
• Detoxification – Supporting the liver is a game-changer during menopause.
• Exercise – Not overdoing it, but moving in ways that support the body’s natural rhythms.
• Mindset – This one really hit home: giving ourselves grace, space, and self-compassion through change.

3. Science + Simplicity
She explains complex hormonal shifts in a way that’s totally digestible. I never felt overwhelmed. In fact, I felt excited to try her suggestions!

4. Actionable Steps
Every chapter ends with takeaways that made it easy for me to start implementing small changes right away.

🌿 My Takeaway:

This book reminded me that menopause isn’t the end—it’s a new beginning. It’s an invitation to reset, realign, and reclaim our power. And it’s not just about the physical—it’s emotional, spiritual, and deeply personal.

If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause—or even just starting to feel the shifts—I can’t recommend this book enough. It’s a compassionate guide that reminds us we’re not alone, and that thriving is absolutely possible.
