MPOWDER was born out of frustration at a world slow to recognise the phenomenal wisdom and value we bring as we age. Slow to shift research funding to focus equally on the brilliance of female biology, specifically at this lifestage. Slow to accept the growing body of evidence to the potential of plants in our healthspan and the health of our planet. Slow to embrace the research supporting complementary interventions alongside medical protocols.
We have built a movement alongside our award winning supplements to challenge head on the often binary options offered to us in midlife. Of silver bullet promises that fail to deliver. We are a community committed to realising the opportunity we each have to take agency for our health by harnessing our hormones.
A collective committed to filling the data health gap, one step at a time, with you - through our self funded Product Insight Studies and the application of botanicals, herbs and wholefoods with a strong history of use in traditional medicine and a growing body of contemporary clinical trials to support their use today.
We advocate for a whole body and mind approach to menopause. From HRT to CBT. From smart supplementation to tools shown to help us better digest stress. We are proud to shine a spotlight on the latest medical thinking alongside the latest research into complementary therapies. To share what we know about the potential of plants. And to track the impact our formulations have in the real world, through our free-to-access symptom tracking service.
The truth is there simply isn’t enough research into menopause. As a small brand with big ambition, we utilise the data that does exist and also fund our own insight studies, in collaboration with our community. Their stories, their lived experiences with our blends, inform what we do next. And ensure what we offer every day is the very best. To register your interest in our next insight study, drop us a line HERE.
Because every journey is better experienced, together. Our closed facebook group allows us to connect with each other in real time. And our monthly online Masterclasses , with topics voted on by you, allow us to explore the latest thinking on lifestyle interventions, medical protocols and more with the very best experts.
Menopause isn’t just a set of symptoms we experience. It is the culmination of the stories we inherit from the women that went before us. The belief systems handed to us. It is the media narrative. The culture of our workplaces. The messages communicated by the brands we love. And more.
Which is why conversation is a critical part in our mission to support you in ‘Meno-ing Well’. Our social channels share the science alongside the stories you tell us. Our Phenomenal Women Journal Series digs into the learnings this transition can offer us too. By amplifying every voice, by recognising the opportunities of Part 2 as well as its challenges, we ensure everyone feels heard. And we invite society to ‘reframe’ menopause too.
