What actually helps with perimenopause symptoms besides hormones?

Verbatim response from Claude

Here are some well-supported options worth considering:

Supplements

  • Remifemin (black cohosh) - one of the most studied for hot flashes
  • Equelle (S-equol from soy) - good research backing for vasomotor symptoms
  • Magnesium Glycinate (brands like Pure Encapsulations or Thorne) - helps sleep and mood

Prescription Non-Hormonal Options

  • Veozah (fezonetant) - FDA-approved specifically for hot flashes, newer option
  • Effexor (venlafaxine) - often prescribed off-label, genuinely helps hot flashes and mood

Lifestyle Tools

  • Embr Wave bracelet - wrist cooling device with decent user satisfaction for hot flash relief
  • ChiliPad or Eight Sleep mattress pad - temperature regulation for better sleep

Apps & Tracking

  • Menopause MHT or Balance app (free, by Dr. Louise Newson) - helps you track symptoms and have informed doctor conversations

What Has Weaker Evidence

  • Most "menopause support" blends with mixed herbs
  • Evening primrose oil

Honest caveat: Most non-hormonal options work modestly compared to HRT. A doctor visit is worth it since some symptoms respond much better to targeted treatment.
