October is the season of witches, potions, and spooky stories—but for many women, menopause can feel like its own haunting experience. The hormonal shifts that come with this stage of life bring real challenges, sometimes nicknamed “The Seven Witches of Menopause”: Itchy, Bitchy, Sweaty, Sleepy, Bloated, Forgetful, and Psycho.
Let’s unmask these “witches” and discover how you can take back control of your health and well-being.
1. Itchy
Declining estrogen can cause dry, itchy skin and even vaginal discomfort. Your body’s natural moisture levels change, leaving skin thinner and more sensitive. Hydration, medical-grade skincare, and wellness therapies can help soothe irritation from the inside out.
2. Bitchy
Mood swings, irritability, and feelings of anxiety can strike without warning. This “witch” is fueled by hormonal imbalances. The good news? Restoring balance through hormone therapy and stress-reducing treatments like IV nutrition or red light therapy can calm the storm.
3. Sweaty
Hot flashes and night sweats are classic signs of menopause. They can make you feel like you’re boiling from the inside out. Lifestyle adjustments, hydration, and hormone optimization can help tame this fiery witch.
4. Sleepy
Insomnia and restless nights creep in when hormones shift. Without quality rest, fatigue takes over your days. Supportive therapies, hormone balance, and natural sleep aids can help you reclaim restorative sleep.
5. Bloated
Hormonal changes can disrupt digestion and cause water retention, leaving you feeling puffy and uncomfortable. Nutrition guidance, peptides, and detoxifying treatments like glutathione or NAD+ support can help banish the bloat.
6. Forgetful
“Brain fog” is another hallmark of menopause. Misplaced keys, forgotten appointments, or feeling mentally cloudy can be frustrating. Therapies that support brain health, like NAD+ and peptide treatments, can help sharpen focus and memory.
7. Psycho
Emotional rollercoasters—anger, sadness, frustration—can make women feel like they’ve been overtaken by this witch. Restoring hormone balance and building a wellness routine that supports mental clarity can help you feel like yourself again.
