I've been using Mendpause for several months now, and yes, the belly fat is going away. I do watch my calories scrupulously (myfooddiary.com is awesome for helping in this regard) and exercise vigorously 5 days a week - but I was also doing this before the Mendapause, and was only seeing a slowing to the weight gain, not a reversal. But do watch your diet and exercise, as our metabolisms do slow with age and hormonal changes and what you ate a year ago (without gaining weight) may be more than your body can handle these days without gaining. It's not a miracle drug: you're going to have to put in effort to lose what you've gained, but it made the difference for me I've been using Mendpause for several months now, and yes, the belly fat is going away.

Safe answer is probably an hour or so. Afterward I wouldn't ake a hot shower or bath or eat a heavy meal until the area has returned to normal body temperature, again perhaps an hour or so. Drinking small amounts of cold drinks shouldn't have much effect. I have used it this way and have had very good results. Takes time though. Have lost about two inches around the waist but didn't see the effect until 6- 8 weeks. Used it 2-3x per week.

I never tried "now food" type but Mendapause has relived my hot flashes during the night and bloating. I have used it for several months except one time I delayed in ordering it. To my amazement my hot flashes started as soon a I started to take it again they went away.

when I first started using the cream about 3 years ago, I could apply it each day or every second day for about 2 months, then stop and have no hot flashes for up to 6 months. That worked for about a year and a half but now I go through stages were I have to use it 21 days of each month to keep the hot flashes at bay. I don't think this is related to the cream, it's my level of hormones fluctuating. I think everyone's body is different so you may see different results, but this is the only cream I found that gave me significant relief from hot flashes.

I noticed that my fatigue did lessen when I started using this product. However, you must address the caloric intake and exercise issue at the same time. I personally like the paleo-diet ( our really old ancestors) meaning high meat, low carbs and no wheat products cause the abrupt change in our diet (processed and wheat flour) in last 50 yrs is causing this recent obesity epidemic. ask old people this wasn't a problem back then - see the solution???

My understanding is that you can. I have a 32 yr old daughter with the same issue and it has brought her much relief. I believe the Smoky Mt people recommend a different dosage schedule for premenopausal people. Also they carry a product called DIM that has really helped, along with this product in dealing with estrogen dominance. Good luck- I can't say enough good about these products

I am really unsure about the belly fat thing. I use it for recovery. I do not drink it every day. Once a week or twice a week at most. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I have been using slim and sassy by doTERRA for 5 months topically. I have seen a significant difference. I'm loosing inches and the cellulite. I saw such fabulous results on my belly that I've started applying it to other problem areas. I have lost 9 pounds but more importantly, I have slack in my slacks.

I to was concerned about being to hot on a foam mattress. I am post menopausal and hot on any bed, however the foam is not any different then my regular bed for heat. I purchased a nice think mattress pad maybe that's helping.

I have not used bioidental hormones so I could not really answer your question. I do find that this product helps with hot flashes and energy levels when I take it on a regular basis. It was recommended my many women who are looking for a natural way to help with menopause.

It never helped with weight loss but since I was feeling better... I moved around alot more often. I really didn't have much of an issue with weight at the time. Estroven was a huge help with perimenopausal symptoms. I took it for going on 10 years. I no longer take it as I no longer am a sufferer. But I won't hesitate if and when I hit menopause.

I'm pretty sure thats not it's purpose but I have always had long hair so I can't tell you if it helped w/ that or not. It's suppose to bring back Your natural hormones during pre or during menopause. It can help w/ many issues and I have noticed it working w/ my body to help issues not listed. These are the listed self - Evaluations questions from Never to Constantly: Headaches, increased heart rate, sweat more often, mood swings, cry more often, Hot flashes, vaginal dryness, burning, and or itchiness. I needed it for Hot flashes. Sorry if I wasn't any help. ♡

I was taking the cream morning and night. I started having cravings shortly after taking the cream and I've never had cravings like this. It was about a week after my period. I am a vegetarian so I eat a lot of veggies, whole grain pastas, etc. I also eat tofu and cheese for protein. I also take a multi-vitamin twice a day that includes all of the vitamins you mentioned.I was reading something online about oestrogen being the primary hormone when you take a product like this if you aren't taking enough . Do you know anything about this?
