For those of you not yet in menopause, perhaps you want to read for the overall health benefits – because these things can be useful for everyone (men as well). But for those of us in this time of menopause or perimenopause, I feel these tools and techniques are especially beneficial.
I am now menopausal, actually technically in ‘post-menopause’. This photo was taken two weeks ago, just a month before my 55th birthday. What I’m sharing today is helping me feel and look my best – better than I ever imagined – at almost 55.
I now know that I was in perimenopause in my mid-40s (probably early 40s), but didn’t know at the time. Unfortunately, I thought I was “losing it”, and having a nervous breakdown. We weren’t receiving the scores of information that we are now. (Sometimes too much information, but that’s another post). So I didn’t know my symptoms were those of perimenopause. Instead, I thought I was failing at life, which made it even harder.
While we have much more knowledge about perimenopause and menopause now – through podcasts, tv, celebrities, social media, and more – some of us may still attribute these challenging symptoms to some individual fault. So I share that reflection to hopefully help someone, so you might find support.
That’s also the intention of this post and upcoming video: to offer information that might also help you.
So let’s get started, here are my menopause game changers!

Menopause Supplement 1: Creatine
The first menopause game changer supplement is creatine. Creatine supplementation has been shown to offer many benefits for women. Creatine use has consistently demonstrated improvements in muscle tissue, resulting in improvements in strength and exercise capacity. When combined with resistance training, creatine further augments body composition and bone mineral density, particularly in post-menopausal females. Creatine supplementation has also been shown to improve mood and cognition.
While we often associate creatine with just muscle performance and strength-training, creatine is being shown to offer benefits beyond just our muscles. Since the body’s production of creatine declines with age, supplementing with creatine can support our muscles, skeletel health (reducing our risk of bone fractures), memory, brain function, and mood.
How much creatine to take? Will I be bloated? How long until I notice the effects of creatine?
Most sources recommend 5g of creatine monohydrate a day. It’s easy to take, dissolves in water and is tasteless. Some people report slight bloating and temporary weight gain for the first few days, but it’s not as common on a dosage of 3-5g/day. Creatine pulls water into the muscle, so you might notice a small shift in weight, up to a few pounds. This is sometimes referred to as the “loading phase”, as it takes about 3 weeks for creatine to saturate the muscle cells. Once you are past the loading phase you may start to notice the effects of creatine, and enjoy the benefits of being able to build more muscle – which burns fat and also strengthens bones (ie bone density, ladies!). So bear with the first week or so, and trust the process.
What type of creatine do I take?
Look for creatine monohydrate, and aim for 5g/day.
I use the Naked brand, you can find it here on amazon.com and here on amazon.ca.

Menopause Supplement 2: Fatty15
The next menopause game changer is Fatty15. I am so grateful I discovered this award-winning supplement, because it is indeed game-changing! ⭐️
When I learned about Fatty15 I was immediately intrigued – by the science, and the results, including:
- C15:0 is the first essential fatty acid to be discovered in 90 years
- Fatty15 studies confirm that it is 3x better, broader and safer than omega 3!
- 1 in 3 people are deficient in C15:0 (this can be examined through blood tests), which causes premature aging
- Peer-reviewed studies have shown: higher C15:0 levels = lower risk of developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease
- Award-winning & Vegan
- Reverses cellular aging!
We age because our cells do. Fatty15 has been proven to reverse aging at the cellular level, making them more resilient against breakdown, which means WE are more resilient.
75% of people taking fatty15 experience benefits within 4 months, including:
- Healthier bodies: better skin, hair, metabolism, heart, immune & liver functioning
- Healthier Minds:deeper sleep 🙌 calmer mood, improved cognitive health
- More on Sleep: C15:0 is a natural activator of two key receptors that live throughout the body—including in the brain. These receptors are called PPARs alpha and delta. C15:0 binds to PPAR alpha receptors in the brain, which help to regulate our sleep and improve the quality and depth of our sleep.
Fatty 15: what did I experience? How much do I take?
I take one Fatty15 capsule a day. By month two using Fatty 15, I noticed my recovery was better after workouts, and my sleep was deeper. Fatty15 details how benefits increase over time on their site.

Menopause Game Changer: Apollo Neuro
I start with this: The Apollo Neuro is a big Menopause GAME CHANGER. Boom! 💥
I have been using it since May, and have enjoyed so many benefits, from feeling calmer and more focused, to enjoying longer sleep.

And it’s not just me. Celebs like Kelly (Live with Kelly & Mark) have talked about how Apollo helps them get to sleep more quickly, and stay asleep longer.
My fascia flo clients are also loving Apollo. One in particular said “I wish I had this years sooner”.
But it’s never too late to feel good. So link through and learn how Apollo can also help you feel more at ease, more focused, more rested.
Once you start using the Apollo, you won’t doubt the decision to purchase it. It’s not even that pricey, given the benefits it brings to your daily life. Still, it is an initial expense. So I have arranged a cool $60 discount for you with Apollo. Link here and apply code DREENABURTON.

Menopause Game Changer: Movement & Lymphatic Drainage
Next we look at movements that will be a menopause game changer. These movements will not deplete your (unlike many workout programs). Rather, you will feel strong, energized, and resilient. Let’s go!
Movement #1: Fascia Flo
As I mention in the video ⬇️ fascia flo is my daily non-negotiable. Daily. I love it, I love how I feel after my practice, I love all the physical, energetic, and physiological benefits.
I’m shocked we are only scratching the surface of the importance of our fascial health. But I was also shocked 30 years ago when I discovered the benefits of eating plant-based… and others didn’t want to hear about it. As I pioneered vegan recipes back then, I am pioneering fascial health now. 💪
If you don’t want to wait another 10, 20, or 30 years to feel the benefits… discover fascia flo here.
Movement #2: Bellicon
You may already know that I’ve loved and used my Bellicon for about 15 years. If you want to learn more, this post covers the benefits of a Bellicon in more depth.
If you want a discount on a Bellicon, send me an email.
My Bellicon workouts are never more than 10-15 minutes! I opt for high-intensity sprint interval training, with recovery periods. You can also do lower-impact bouncing for this amount of time and enjoy the benefits of rebounding.

Movement #3: Strength-Training
As I discuss in the video ⬇️ I don’t do lengthy strength-training workouts. Instead, I work with 10-15 minute strength-training videos 3-4x / week. I alternate strength-training with my Bellicon training. Of course, I also do my fascia flo practive every day, and this also offers resistance training benefits.
Lymphatic Drainage
This is a newer discovery for me, but most definitely a menopause game changer.
I’ve always understood the importance of stimulating the lymphatic system, and we gain lymphatic system benefits with movements on the Bellicon.
However, in a recent fascia flo class, one of my clients asked for a class focusing on the lymphatic system. I thought… “huh! yes! let’s do!“… so we did. Since then, I have been working with lymphatic drainage every day.
As my fascia flo client referenced: “no drain, no gain”! So let’s gain those lymphatic drainage benefits. It’s easy, free, and takes less than 10 minutes. If you are a fascia flo member, you can find our lymphatic flo class in the fascia fix area of flos – and I am planning another class for the fall.
As I mentioned in the video ⬇️ if you’d like to learn the lymphatic drainage sequence, please comment here or on the YouTube video. I need to know if it’s important to you. So chime in with your vote. 🗳️
