Beyond Hormones: How Ayurveda Complements Modern Lifestyle Medicine For Menopause | Health and Fitness News

Menopause marks a natural decline in estrogen, a hormone that does more than regulate reproduction

For years, menopause care has focused almost entirely on hormones, measuring them, replacing them, or controlling them. But the real shift in women’s health is happening beyond hormones where ancient wisdom meets modern science.

Tamanna Singh, co-founder, MenoVeda and a Certified Menopause & Hormone Coach, shares all you need to know:

Ayurveda, India’s oldest healing system, and modern lifestyle medicine are now speaking the same language, balance, prevention, and personalization.

Modern science tells us that stress, diet, and sleep directly affect our hormones. Ayurveda said the same centuries ago only in a different vocabulary. When it speaks of dosha imbalance or agni (the inner fire), it’s describing what we now understand as metabolism, inflammation, and stress response. Both sciences are rooted in one idea: the body heals best when the mind is calm and life is in rhythm.

In practical terms, that means pairing modern tracking tools, nutrition, movement, and biomarkers with Ayurvedic practices like mindful eating, herbal support, oil massages, and seasonal routines. Together, they don’t just manage symptoms; they rebuild stability.

Yoga and meditation add the final layer completing the 360° holistic change women need during this important transition in their lives.

This is what the next decade of menopause care will look like where data-driven insights meet age-old intuition. Women won’t have to choose between tradition and innovation; they’ll finally have both working together for them.

“Ayurveda gives meaning to what medicine measures,” says menopause coach Tamanna Singh. “When we blend the two, healing becomes not just effective, it becomes intelligent.”

Menopause may begin with hormones, but true balance begins with harmony and that’s where East and West finally meet. Traditional medicine, when science-backed and clinically tested, can be a game changer for women globally.
