My Journey With Kindra: The Highs And Lows

I was going about what felt like a typical day when out of nowhere my daughter said, 'stop snapping at me, Mom.'

I was truly taken aback. I'm typically a positive, cheerful person, I do not snap at people.

I took a moment to myself after this and really I thought about it, I had been more irritable lately. I'd also been tossing and turning in the middle of the night, making me feel so tired during the day. Just last week, I felt so hot and sweaty in bed I had to take a cold shower at 4 am.

No - wait, it couldn't be. Was I starting menopause? I mean, I'm only 48! But, if I'm being totally honest, my husband and I had been having intimacy issues. Frankly, I felt uncomfortably dry down there and my libido was practically non-existent.

When I searched menopause I read that hot flashes, low libido, sleeplessness, energy lags, and weight gain can signal the onset of perimenopause. Turns out, 90% of women experiencing this don't seek help!

As I was doing my search, menopause products started appearing in my feed and that's how I found Kindra.

Made by women for women, Kindra makes clinically-tested and OB/GYN approved peri and post-menopausal essentials. All products are 100% estrogen-free. They're also progesterone-free, paraben-free, and fragrance-free. I liked that their products are made with super clean ingredients.

I'm all for natural products, but I was a tad weary they wouldn't be effective enough to help me feel like myself again.

No two people experience menopause the same, and I loved that Kindra took the time to learn about me with a quick 5-minute quiz. Then, they instantly e-mailed me a personalized product regimen designed to help me embrace and manage my hormonal health.

Although it sounded perfect, I worried the products would cost too much. Luckily, I noticed the monthly subscription, saving me 20% on every order! With Kindra's Essential Bundle I got the lotion, a mess-free applicator, and the Core Supplement for only $69 (normally $89).

I was excited to see how Kindra would work so I tracked the experience in my journal for the 1st 90 days - since that's how long it takes to form a new habit.

Month 1

I could tell that the Aurora Applicator is designed by women because the shape made it super easy to use, and it helped me apply the lotion just where I needed it. I'll admit that I was antsy for relief, wondering if it wouldn't even help me at all.

There was a bit of a stinging sensation the first few times, but within minutes, the lotion felt really soothing. On the second day, I actually felt an improvement in the vaginal dryness. By day 3, I was remembering what I felt like before...comfortable, naturally lubricated.

I'm sure it's because the lotion's formula features an essential blend of super nourishing ingredients like coconut oil, sunflower seed oil, safflower seed oil, and vitamin E. I also noticed it includes niacinamide, which is in my facial serum, too! It apparently helps heal the tender, sensitive skin over time. Love it!

Month 2

Kindra's self-care plan recommended I take a Core Dietary Supplement daily. Generally, I don't trust supplements, but Kindra's Core capsules include plant extracts like Pycnogenol® and Ashwagandha which help cool the body, focus the mind, boost energy, balance mood swings, and hydrate from the inside out. How could I not give it a go?

Kindra's supplements are 100% estrogen-free, formulated with a potent ayurvedic adaptogen, and are made with organic rice hull rather than gross artificial fillers.

I've been taking the Core every day and waiting for the benefits to kick. The Kindra blog told me it can take up to 2 months to feel the full effects, so fingers crossed.

Month 3

My hot flashes are practically gone! Best of all, I sleep through the night every night. I feel so different - so balanced - more like myself. I figured that if the Lotion and Core Supplements are this good I should check out the others.

The Sleep Enhancing Dietary Supplement has the same incredible benefits as the Core but adds just a little bit of melatonin for more restorative sleep. It's so helpful to have on hand for those nights that I still feel restless.

These days - thanks to the experts at Kindra- my menopausal journey is absolutely manageable.

Estrogen-Free Solutions For All Phases Of Menopause

Lately, I've been tired and struggling to sleep. While this sometimes happens to me, I'm also having night sweats — I thought I was going crazy when a new issue popped up on top of another.

When I started digging into my challenges and trying to find the root, I discovered that I was actually going through menopause - more specifically, postmenopause.

The unbelievable part is when I thought about how many women are experiencing these changes, I realized how we just don't talk about it with one another.

I decided to break the cycle and speak with my friends about how I've been feeling and how it is for them. One friend recommended I check out Kindra, a company that makes products for all phases of menopause.

I was hesitant at first to dive deeper online as I already felt so bogged down in research but she insisted Kindra had it all between their clear site and thoughtful blog.

Here's what I was surprised to learn:

Menopause is only one day in a woman's life. It's the day 12-months after her last period so the transitional years leading up to that day is perimenopause while everything after is postmenopause.

Kindra has a wide range of products to reduce the challenges of peri and post menopause (all estrogen-free!). The Daily Vaginal Lotion and Supplements help with vaginal dryness, fatigue, hot flashes, and much more.

Kindra uses natural ingredients, unlike many drug store brands. All of their Supplements are made with Pycnogenol, a super-antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals, promotes healthy circulation, hydrates skin, supports immunity and heart health, and more.

The experts at Kindra truly know what all bodies may need because they're going through it with you! Products made by women, for women are the way to go when it comes to your body.

Kindra has an amazing 5-minute quiz to narrow down what products and ingredients will work for you and why. Never before has menopause been broken down in such a simple way for you.

Kindra had everything, from the products I was dreaming of to the information I had been searching for. On top of that, the outstanding reviews from REAL people, that are independently verified, established so much trust for me. Many praise the lotion especially, for helping with intimacy issues and making sex less painful. No two bodies menopause the same but Kindra certainly helps them all.

I was able to really reflect on how I was feeling and they recommended articles to read, key ingredients to benefit me, and a regimen of Kindra products. My concerns were finally being addressed in a way that felt understanding and non-judgmental.

I couldn't believe that there are solutions to my issues that are tailored to my body. Plus, they are made by women who know how I feel. I'm so thankful to have Kindra now as a community, and resource, for the needs of my menopausal transition.
