The Twelve Days of Menopause

A pink clock with the word Menopause round the outside instead of numbers.

It's nearly that time of year again, when the thought of roasting a turkey brings us out in a hot sweat faster than we're used to!  Whether you love getting stuck into planning for a huge feast, or you'd rather avoid all the wrapping, peeling and prepping, there's no denying it's a special time of year for spending with friends and family.  With two Christmases of restrictions behind us, we hope that this year we can have a celebration that's in line with what we're used to - so to get us into the festive spirit we've come up with a tongue in cheek take on the seasonal special, The Twelve Days of Christmas. Sing along when you know the words!

We hope this has put a smile on your face.  Although this is just a bit of fun, dealing with many menopause symptoms is no laughing matter.  That's why we formulated our MenoShake to address a lot of these common concerns with nutritional supplements that we know work to alleviate these problems.  So go on, have a sing song and make yourself a warm MenoShake with marshmallows as a treat.
