Expert Recommendation
“Menopause
is a natural shift, not a disruption. Supporting this phase with nourishing,
slow-releasing carbohydrates, calcium-rich millets, and plant-based
phytoestrogens can make a world of difference. Little millet and jowar are both
easy to digest and hormonally supportive. This kit by the Fresh Start Wellness
Café offers a gentle but purposeful nutritional foundation for a smooth
menopausal transition.”
