Peri-Calm Punch

Peri-calm punch

Why this is peri-perfect… This is the kind of 5pm ritual your peri body exhales into. The tart cherry juice brings natural melatonin precursors to help you shift out of that wired-but-tired state, while magnesium gently calms your nervous system after a long, overstimulating day. The kombucha and berries add a little sparkle and colour — giving you that “festive drink” feeling without the blood-sugar crash, sleep sabotage, or next-morning anxiety spiral that alcohol triggers in perimenopause.

Instead of numbing you out, this little peri-calm punch signals to your brain: we’re safe, we’re winding down now. It’s a beautiful replacement for that old wine o’clock habit — a nourishing evening cue that soothes cravings, supports your sleep, and makes the end of the day feel special again.
