Navigating the complexities of menopause can be daunting, especially with symptoms like night sweats, brain fog, and irritability. As the founder of West Wolf Medicinals, I once faced a profoundly challenging peri-menopause experience myself. At
West Wolf Medicinals, we specialize in high-quality, organic
mushroom supplements designed to support your health. Let’s delve into two powerful mushrooms —
Lion’s Mane and
Cordyceps — and how they can help you find
relief during menopause.
A Trusting Call for Help
Last week, my cousin called me and said
“I find it kinda weird to take mushrooms, but I could use some relief from these night sweats. I trust you to do your research. Can you tell me what to do?”
As a kid, I always wanted to be a civil rights lawyer and pursued an international affairs degree at NYU with an eye on entering law school. Then I visited a friend at the University of Colorado. I couldn't believe the beauty and lifestyle in Boulder and jumped in feet first— hiking, climbing, trail running, and camping. I transferred schools and settled into life out West. Fast forward to graduation, and I’m accepting an offer in environmental journalism— a good step towards fulfilling my new love for nature. Law school quickly became a distant vision.
Leaving the West, I followed my passion for journalism back to NYC and after a long career there, eventually moved back West to begin mushroom farming and founding a
mushroom extract company in Boulder Colorado called West Wolf Medicinals. It was never my plan — it sort of happened by accident.
Following a Hunch
It’s maybe what’s possible if you decide to pursue a hunch. I was thriving farming and enjoying an active outdoor life, and then… decidedly not a part of my plan— I went through a challenging peri- and menopause experience.
It started with excess sweating, usually at the most inopportune times (think a fancy dinner party or a business meeting). This was soon joined by night sweats, which caused a weird sleep disorder of wandering through the house at 3 AM looking for an ice pack. The last to join the party of misery was the worst — brain fog. I thought I had early-onset dementia. I couldn’t think of the word I wanted to say, my memory was shot, and I quickly lost confidence in my choice to move so far away from family and friends back East.
Relief is Found – in Fungi
Luckily, I found almost instant relief from the benefits of medicinal mushroom extracts. After telling a friend in the mushroom space about my symptoms, she told me about the potential healing benefits of functional mushrooms. I dove deeply into seeing what was so fantastic about fungi. I knew they were delicious for gourmet meals, but suddenly realized they are highly anti-inflammatory and support the immune system. It took months of research, but once I discovered a potent organic compound to take, I was back to myself in about a week.
What’s guided my path is that I had a personal experience that made me want to change my life. And it’s like the inspiration that started West Wolf. I had a personal experience — though shitty— that made me decide to look for solutions that felt right to me. And what felt right was to look into the healing promises of mushrooms.
But first of all… I wanted to create a product that I was looking for when I was in crisis— a natural way to alleviate brain fog, night sweats and irritability. And one that is organically certified, pure, without fillers, extracted (since that needs to happen for it to be bioavailable and potent) as well as fruiting bodies.
That search for a clear solution is our new product: Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps for Menopause Relief. So I told my cousin, relief is on the way!
Key Takeaway
What to know about these mushrooms:
-
Lion’s Mane: The Cognitive Support Mushroom: Lion’s Mane is renowned for its cognitive-enhancing properties. This remarkable mushroom promotes focus and memory by supporting the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), crucial for brain health. As I was going through menopause, I experienced frustrating brain fog that made simple tasks seem impossible. After researching Lion's Mane, I discovered that its natural compounds actively improve cognitive function. The bioavailability of our Lion’s Mane extract, achieved through our meticulous mushroom extraction process, allows you to regain clarity and confidence without any fillers.

Cordyceps: The Energy-Boosting Powerhouse: If you’re feeling fatigued during menopause, Cordyceps may offer the help you need. This dynamic mushroom has been traditionally used to enhance energy levels and endurance. During my menopause journey, I struggled with extreme fatigue. By improving oxygen utilization and increasing ATP production, Cordyceps can help you stay active and engaged in your daily life. At West Wolf Medicinals, our Cordyceps extract is of the highest quality, offering effective support while adhering to our organic and sustainable standards.

The Anti-Inflammatory Effect
Both Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps are praised for their
anti-inflammatory properties. Chronic inflammation can exacerbate menopausal symptoms, like mood swings and fatigue. By incorporating these functional mushrooms into your wellness routine, you can combat inflammation while promoting a healthier immune response. I found that these mushrooms not only helped reduce discomfort but also improved my overall sense of well-being, confirming their invaluable role.
A Natural Approach to Menopause Relief
Through my personal experience, I was inspired to create an all-natural product that I sought during my struggles — a
mushroom supplement blend designed specifically for menopause relief. At West Wolf Medicinals, our Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps blend is organic, free from fillers, and extracted for maximum potency. This combination empowers women to reclaim their vitality during menopause, offering a holistic approach to well-being.
