Hormonal Health in Collapse: Prepping for Perimenopause

We prep for food, water, and shelter—but are we prepping for our hormonal health?

In a grid-down world, access to hormone treatments, medications, and comfort care could vanish overnight. That’s why I’ve started prepping for perimenopause and other hormonal shifts.

Here’s what I’m doing:

  • Stockpiling herbal teas like red clover, chasteberry, and sage
  • Tracking my cycle so I know what’s normal
  • Practicing low-impact workouts that ease cramps and tension
  • Learning which essential oils and natural remedies reduce hot flashes and irritability
  • Including comfy clothes, a hand fan, and cooling cloths in my preps

Prepping isn’t just about surviving a crisis—it’s about maintaining your well-being in the thick of it. That includes our mental and physical balance as women.

Let’s normalize prepping for periods, perimenopause, and hormones in our gear lists.
