Menopause is a natural stage of life, yet the changes it brings can feel overwhelming at times. Shifting hormone levels often lead to hot flashes, low libido, weight fluctuations, mood swings, and sleep disruptions. These symptoms are a normal part of the transition, but they can affect how you feel day to day—both physically and emotionally. With supportive care, nourishing lifestyle choices, and a focus on overall well-being, this chapter can become a time of renewed balance, strength, and self-care.
We asked Dr. Shannon Wood Gallegos, ND, CEO and Founder of B12 LOVE, to share her top strategies for fighting menopause symptoms. For the following, here’s what she recommends:
Hot Flashes: Femmenessence
Hot flashes are one of the most common (and frustrating) symptoms of menopause. According to Dr. Shannon, Femmenessence, a daily supplement designed to support hormonal balance, is a powerful way to regulate temperature fluctuations. FemmenessencePRO® Peri-Menopause and FemmenessencePRO® Post-Menopause are natural supplements formulated to support women through the unique transitions of midlife. Made with concentrated maca root, these products are designed to balance hormones and ease the symptoms that come with shifting estrogen and progesterone levels.
Low Libido: “B12 LOVE LOVE” Shot
Low libido is a common challenge during menopause, often caused by shifting hormones, reduced energy, and changes in circulation. The B12 LOVE LOVE shot, featuring vitamin B12, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, and amino acids, is designed to help naturally boost desire by increasing energy, supporting healthy nerve function, enhancing blood flow, and uplifting mood. Together, these nutrients work to restore vitality and support a more satisfying, connected sex life.
Weight Gain: Medical Weight Loss Peptides
Weight gain during menopause isn’t just about what you eat—it’s often tied to shifting hormones and a slowing metabolism. Dr. Shannon suggests Medical Weight Loss Peptides, a science-backed solution that can help optimize metabolism, support fat loss, and maintain lean muscle mass. B12 LOVE offers multiple injectable options for weight loss peptides: first is our Medical Weight Loss Peptide shot which targets GLP-1 and GIP; second is our Triple G Peptide shot which targets GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon (launching soon!).
Mood Swings: “Tired As a Mother” IV Drip
Hormonal changes can throw your emotions out of balance. For those days when your patience is low and your stress is high, the Tired As a Mother IV drip offers targeted nutrients to help regulate mood, boost energy, and restore calm from the inside out. Our Tired As a Mother IV drip includes vitamin C, a comprehensive blend of B vitamins, a high dose of vitamin B12, aminos, and zinc that work synergistically to support both mental and physical well-being. B vitamins and B12 play key roles in energy production and neurotransmitter balance, while amino acids provide the building blocks for mood-regulating brain chemicals. Zinc supports healthy brain function and stress resilience, and vitamin C helps combat oxidative stress that can impact mood. Together, these nutrients help boost energy, stabilize mood, and promote a sense of calm in both mind and body.
Sleep Disturbances: Sleep Stick
If falling—or staying—asleep has become a nightly challenge, Dr. Shannon recommends the Sleep Stick™. Designed for nightly use, this tool helps promote deeper, more restful sleep without the grogginess of traditional sleep aids.
