Cooling down – simple steps to beat the heat

cooling down

Now that we know why the heat messes with your hormones (if you missed it, read part one of the blog post here), let’s talk about what you can do to feel more like yourself again. You will be relieved to hear that you don’t need to suffer through the summer heatwaves that seem to be becoming more frequent, or rely on harsh fixes – your body responds beautifully to natural support when given the right tools.

Hydrate well

Yes, water is important ­– but adding electrolytes is the game-changer. Try:

  • Coconut water
  • Lemon water with a pinch of sea salt
  • Electrolyte tablets
  • Herbal teas like nettle and raspberry leaf – both excellent for hormonal balance and supporting the menstrual cycle

Eat cooling, fibre-rich foods

Summer-friendly, anti-inflammatory foods that support digestion and hormone detox include:

  • Cucumber, watermelon, mint, and leafy greens
  • Fibre-rich options like chia seeds, flaxseed, oats, and a rainbow of vegetables

These help keep your system moving and reduce internal heat and bloating.

Support your gut

Your gut and liver play a major role in hormone detoxification. If they’re not working well, symptoms will flare. A good probiotic can really help. If you’re not already taking one, our Live Bacteria capsules are a must-have for all-round gut support and hormonal balance.

Targeted supplements to calm hormone chaos

Whether you’re noticing mood shifts, disrupted cycles, or menopause symptoms, supporting your hormones naturally can make a big difference.

Our Menopause Plus supplement is a gentle but effective blend that supports your whole system, not just the symptoms.

It includes:

  • Soya isoflavones – mimic oestrogen to help ease hot flushes, night sweats, and mood swings
  • Sage – reduces sweating and supports cognitive clarity
  • Vitamin B6 – supports hormone regulation and boosts energy
  • Magnesium – calms the nervous system, improves sleep, and reduces inflammation

Struggling with bloating?

Try one of our Digestive Enzymes tablets before meals to support better digestion and nutrient absorption.

Mood all over the place?

Our Omega 3 capsules can help calm inflammation, support your adrenal glands, and keep mood swings and cortisol spikes in check — all of which can spiral when heat stress hits your hormones.

Above all, be kind to yourself

You’re not broken – your body is responding to a stressful environment. Give yourself grace. Sip water with a pinch of sea salt, try a cooling face mask, and rest when you need to.

You don’t have to power through alone. By listening to your body and giving it the right support, you can feel like you again, even in the heat.
