In this episode of Hotflash inc host and journalist Ann Marie McQueen talks to EJ Kim and Marina Pen, founders of Nnabi, one of the few companies exclusively focused on perimenopause. EJ and Marina share their personal journeys through perimenopause and the challenges they faced that inspired them to create Nnabi.

Nnabi's mission is to educate and support women navigating the complexities of perimenopause, and they’ve launched two innovative supplements aimed at enhancing overall well-being during this transformative life stage. These supplements are crafted with carefully selected, clinically tested ingredients to address key areas of health impacted by hormonal fluctuations, including mood, energy, digestion, and stress management.

Highlights:

• EJ and Marina's personal experiences with perimenopause and the struggles they faced.
• The lack of resources and awareness about perimenopause when they started Nnabi.
• The science and philosophy behind Nnabi's flagship products, such as the Peri Essential 5 supplement, formulated to provide holistic support for women.
• Insights on the importance of community, education, and empowerment for women in perimenopause.
• How Nnabi is addressing perimenopause as its own stage, separate from menopause, to provide tailored solutions.
• The broader conversation about hormonal health, the role of supplements, and the ongoing need for research in this field.

Key Takeaways:

• Perimenopause can affect every aspect of life, and understanding symptoms is a crucial first step.
• Education and holistic support can help women navigate this life stage with confidence and clarity.
• Supplements like Nnabi’s Peri Essential 5 are designed to complement other strategies, such as lifestyle changes, and even hormone therapy.
