Founder Sarah's Menopause Story

I'm Sarah, the founder of Just Hotter. I've been in the retail industry for over 20 years and the chances are if you've shopped online, you might have shopped on one of the brands I launched or worked with. I've now turned my focus onto how to change the narrative and understanding around the menopause and her various stages.

At 45 years old I discovered I was perimenopausal. I was chatting to friends in a WhatsApp group, and shared how I’d been feeling. To my surprise, the reply was an overwhelming, “Oh, you’re probably perimenopausal”. The statement was a relief but also a mental confusion. After speaking with many women, this is often the way they discover they’ve entered the menopause stages. We can debate the problems with official channels of diagnosis or we can become self informed and take matters into our own hands.  

For me, HRT was not the route I wanted to take. Whether you want to take HRT or not, it’s personal choice, no judgement. The issue has been there hasn’t been much out there as an alternative, from an educational perspective. This is what our mission is to deliver.

In this channel, we will share natural supplements which help with symptoms, and also offer other lifestyle and dietary choices, which can make our symptoms worse. My experience with this journey has made me more confident, kinder to myself and more positive about the future.

I’m now 50 years old. I won't be pigeonholed into a stereotype. Furthermore, I’m not past my prime. I’ve never felt more confident, self-aware, kinder to myself, guilt-free and outspoken. 

Join me on this journey.
