Women’s wellness with Lucy: 4 essentials for energy, mood & sleep

Learning to work with an ever-shifting mix of mood, sleep, stress, and energy levels just seems to be one of the constants of being in a female body. Each life stage brings its own joys and challenges, and I’ve found that gentle curiosity serves me far better than strict regimes or sudden overhauls. Small, consistent tweaks, along with natural women’s wellness supplements, can have the biggest impact when it comes to supporting your wellbeing over time.

Here are a few of my favourite ways to keep those foundations strong, so we can navigate the various fluctuations and transitions with maximum ease.

1) Boost energy and mental clarity with Mother Made Focus: Lion’s Mane

If you’re looking for natural energy support for women, Lion’s Mane mushroom is one of my favourites. It supports brain health, memory, mood, energy, and nervous system balance. I love it as a morning tonic for mental clarity and focus — either stirred into my coffee or taken in capsule form. It’s a big help when juggling the inevitable multi-tasking of work, home, and everything in between, ideally with a little brainpower left over for something fun or creative.

2) Support a feel-good mood with BioBalance PMS Peace & Ashwagandha Adrenal Restore

This powerful duo from our own trusted in-house brand has me covered when it comes to supporting hormone balance naturally, along with a positive outlook and comfortable cycle. Like its sister product, Peri Meno Peace, PMS Peace works wonders for hormone balance — and the reviews speak volumes about its impact on women’s wellbeing. Ashwagandha Adrenal Restore blends the headline adaptogen with patented magnolia and philodendron extracts to balance cortisol and ease tension. A brilliant all-rounder, especially for women navigating ongoing stress.

3) Unwind and drift off easily with Flow State PM Blend

This restorative mushroom supplement for sleep and stress relief combines Reishi, Chaga and Turkey Tail – a trio known to support relaxation, digestion and immune health. I love this PM blend as a warm beverage with oat milk, maca, and carob or cacao — the perfect way to round off the day. Since incorporating reishi regularly, I’m noticeably less reactive to life’s stresses. My other non-negotiable half an hour before bed is BioBalance’s Magnesium Glycinate to help me unwind and ease into restful sleep.

Finding your own rhythm

Beyond supplements, small daily rituals make all the difference — gentle stretches, journalling, or just even just a five-minute walk outside, can really lift the mood. The trick is finding what feels good to you and remembering to make a little space for it in a busy day.

One important lesson I’ve learned in my mid-forties is the power of a small rest. Just ten quiet minutes — sitting, breathing, reading — gives so much more than it takes.

However you’re travelling through hormonal changes or life’s busy seasons, I hope you have your own simple, foundational habits and natural women wellness supports to make each day feel a little lighter, calmer, and more energised.
