Rhodiolife Rhodiolife

What is an adaptogen?

GinFort GinFort

Carminative and prokinetic effects of Ginfort®

Ginfort® acts primarily through its gingeroids, which possess carminative and prokinetic properties. They help reduce gas, bloating, and flatulence, while promoting synchronized peristaltic movement. This process helps correct motility disorders in the stomach and small intestine—often responsible for functional dyspepsia.

Chasteberry Chasteberry

Chasteberry is the fruit of the chaste tree. The tree is native to Central Asia and the Mediterranean region. It has been used for centuries to help relieve the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and infertility, and to stimulate the production of breast milk.

Dr.Laura's Comments: Dr.Laura's Comments:

DHA is awesome for the brain.The delivery system is higher in terms of a Bio-Availability.

Choline- So Many people are Choline deficient

Quatrefolic- gives us the right Methyl Folate

Vitamin K2-Amazing to reduce inflammation in the endothelial lining of the blood vessels.

( The endothelium, a monolayer of endothelial cells, constitutes the inner cellular lining of the blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) and the lymphatic system, and therefore is in direct contact with the blood/lymph and the circulating cells.)

Every woman can take this is a multi-vitamin.

Take it at a minimum of 30 d-60 days prior to conception.Will help with early development of the Spine and Brain.

Best PreNatal Dr Fortner has ever seen.She will be prescribing this for her patients.

But it's also helpful for women in Menopause.

Quatrefolic®, a source of folate, supports neural tube development
and normal early fetal development of the brain and spinal cord◊
{ Active and most bioavailable form of folate, more readily
available for the body to uptake
◆ VitaCholine®, a source of choline, supports fetal brain development◊

Quatrefolic Quatrefolic

Quatrefolic® vs. Folic Acid

The body can’t just use folic acid as it is—it has to go through a conversion process into a form called Methyltetrahydrofolate, or MTHF, in order to use it. Quatrefolic® doesn’t go through the same conversion process as folic acid, effectively bypassing that genetic variation.

VitaCholine VitaCholine

It’s an essential nutrient for our brain, body, and nervous system, promoting memory, mood, muscle control, and many more cellular functions.

Dr.Laura's Comments: Dr.Laura's Comments:

Symptoms are normal but you don't have to feel that way.

Women can feel good throughout their whole life. This is a crucial time where your hormones mess with your DNA.Things that were not apparent before start to become. Meaning, symptoms show up, chronic disease now shows up. Hormones were protecitve for us. Now more than ever, if you want quality of longevity you want to address symptoms.

Dr.Laura's Comments: Dr.Laura's Comments:

No estrogenic activity.Its a Korean Extract.

If you have a cancer history, take it to your Dr. But make sure you are speaking to someone who knows alot about supplements, and knows your history, like a Functional Med doc.


They actually have three Korean herbal root extracts that has been in the history of Korean medicine and Asian medicine for 400 years. And there's so there's many scientific studies on these herbal root extracts that there's no estrogenic effects. So any woman out there that's worried about the estrogen, worried about breast cancer, or worrying about any type of female cancer, right? Or you might

have a contraindication-Can't have the estrogen. This is for you, because these herbal extracts act like estrogen, but they don't have any estrogenic effects body, and they have been clinically shown in many studies to really help reduce symptoms, especially hot flashes, trouble sleeping, that anxiety, healing, vaginal dryness.

When is the best time to take Meno Support? When is the best time to take Meno Support?

From Kristen Walter: I mean this isn't Arbonne's answer but i love it after I swim and break my fast with my meal - Timing: When to Take Meno Support

Option 1: With Breakfast (Preferred)

Why: The product contains adaptogens (like maca and shatavari), vitamins (like B6), and botanicals that support energy, hormone balance, and stress management.

Benefits: Taking it in the morning helps:

Set the tone for hormonal balance throughout the day

Support energy, focus, and mood

Avoid potential interference with sleep (some herbs can be stimulating)

Option 2: With Lunch (Alternate Option)

If someone forgets it in the morning, lunch is still a good time to take it.

Especially helpful if they experience afternoon crashes or irritability.

Avoid taking at night

Since it’s not a sleep-specific blend, and contains energizing adaptogens, it’s not ideal before bed.

Additional Tips

Take it with food to help with absorption and reduce the chance of mild stomach upset.

Can a probiotic help to maintain my vaginal health?

The pH level of your vagina is important when it comes to preventing yeast infections and urinary tract infections. Normal vaginal pH level is on the acidic side, between 3.8 and 4.5, rising to 5 as you get older

The vagina is naturally home to many different types of healthy, acid-producing bacteria. Your vagina’s acidity helps protect it against germs as acid kills harmful bacteria, parasites, and fungi.

Research has shown that probiotics (mainly Lactobacillus spp.) and lactoferrin may be considered new strategies for counteracting bacterial vaginosis and fungal vaginal yeast infections but this research is very much in its infancy.

This Was Me… Before I Knew.

This was me in my 30s almost 20 years ago …

Before I understood hormones.

Before I had answers.

Before I realized that what I was going through wasn't just "getting older"... it was my body screaming for support and I was in Perimenopause.

I didn’t recognize myself.

Physically, emotionally, spiritually—I felt so disconnected.

I was inflamed. Exhausted. Stuck in a cycle of dieting and defeat.

Doctors told me everything was “normal,” but nothing about my life felt normal.

Fast-forward nearly 20 years, and everything has changed.

I became my own advocate in my health and I figured out for me what to focus on

I learned what was happening under the surface—from my gut to my hormones to my nervous system , to protein to getting the testing for it all !

And I took step after step to heal. To strengthen. To reclaim myself.

Now I’m 54 and ALIVE

And I feel stronger, clearer, and more alive than I did at 34.

I'm here to tell you that it’s not too late. And you’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You're just uninformed—and that ends today.

I created a free Hormone Questionnaire to help you uncover what your body is telling you—and where your next best step might be.

And to make it fun? I’m doing a drawing for someone who fills it out this week to get a free gift personalized to you.

DM me “QUIZ” or see the link in comments please

Your story is still being written. Let’s make the next chapter one where you feel empowered.
