A woman has shared three natural solutions that helped her combat menopausal discomfort

For many women experiencing perimenopause, hormonal belly and bloating can become persistent challenges.

One woman who battled these symptoms for 12 years has discovered effective natural solutions to combat the discomfort.


Amanda, who shares menopause advice on the TikTok account @therealamandayoung, discovered three ways to counter weight gain during menopause using natural ingredients.

Her journey led to finding key remedies that specifically target the stubborn midsection issues many perimenopausal women face.

The natural approaches focussed on improving digestive health and reducing inflammation to control all associated symptoms.

First and foremost, Amanda recommended incorporating a quality probiotic supplement to restore gut balance.

"A good probiotic takes and gets rid of all those toxins and get that trunk out of your trunk, and just balance that good and bad bacteria in your gut", she shared.

Digestive enzymes combined with ginger root form the second approach, aiding food breakdown and nutrient absorption.

The third solution involves fermented superfoods, particularly turmeric and ginger, which target digestion and reduce stomach bloating.

These natural remedies work together to specifically target perimenopause-related stomach issues.

"It helps break down the foods that you eat so you get the nutrients that you need", Amanda noted about the digestive enzyme solution.

The fermented superfood combination is particularly effective for bloating, she added.

"It's going to help with digestion and going to help with all the puffiness that going on in your stomach," she shared.

With consistent use, these approaches can help manage hormonal belly discomfort, but they may not work for everyone.

A diet high in protein and fibre is great for weight loss at any age but can be particularly beneficial for menopausal women.

Increasing water intake and adding more fat to the diet has also been shown to benefit people tackling weight fluctuations.
