From 30 to 40: maturity and new challenges

We women enter our thirties with a powerful combination of maturity, vitality and awareness of who we are. It is a decade in which many of us have already consolidated part of our life project, whether professionally, family-wise or personally. But it is also a stage in which new challenges arise: physical, hormonal and emotional. We face the pressure of holding everything together as family managers—home, work, parenting, partner—while our bodies begin to send us signals that something is changing.

It is not the beginning of decline, as we have sometimes been led to believe. On the contrary: it is a stage of profound self-knowledge, where wellbeing needs to take centre stage.

A stage of full hormonal maturity

During our 30s and early 40s, our hormone levels are still balanced, but the first signs of a subtle transition begin to appear. We may notice changes in our menstrual pattern, increased premenstrual sensitivity, more pain during ovulation, or our skin becoming drier or changing in appearance.

Furthermore, it is common that, if we have had children, we find ourselves in a phase of physical recovery (after pregnancy or postpartum), or that we are actively trying to conceive, with all that this entails on a physical and emotional level.

Now is the ideal time to strengthen our hormonal system, maintain stable emotional balance, and take special care of our cycles, our energy, and our rest.

A decade of multiple demands: Family Managers

Externally, this is one of the most demanding stages. We are often at the peak of our professional careers or taking on greater responsibilities. Some of us are raising young children, others are caring for our mother and/or father, and all of us, in some way, are maintaining relationships, projects and goals. This invisible burden can take its toll: chronic fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, joint pain, fluid retention, decreased sex drive...

It is no coincidence that many of us are identified as Family Managers, a term that describes the multifunctional role we assume within the home and family life: we organise, coordinate, plan and solve problems. Being a Family Manager means being everywhere, being the centre of family operations and, often, the last to receive care. That is why, now more than ever, it is essential that we also put ourselves on the list of priorities.

Our body speaks to us. And it is important to know how to listen to it without ignoring what we feel or normalising discomfort.

Self-care as a strategy for resilience

Sometimes it seems like taking care of ourselves is a luxury or just another task on the list. But it's not. At this stage, self-care becomes a tool for prevention, balance and self-love. Sleeping well, eating mindfully, exercising daily and disconnecting from overload are essential actions for sustaining ourselves.

And, when necessary, we can turn to supplements that complement our wellness routine in a natural and effective way.

Accepting changes and accompanying them

During these years, new questions may also arise: Why is it harder for me to lose weight? Why is my skin changing? Why do I feel more tired than before the cycle? All these questions make sense. And often, the answers have to do with the small hormonal adjustments that are already beginning to occur.

Talking to our gynaecologist, listening to our body, having regular check-ups and adjusting our routines are key steps to accompany this transition in a natural way.

A mature awareness

Your thirties are not a decade of sacrifice, but rather one of conscious decisions. It is when we have the clearest idea of what we want and need, and that also means choosing to take care of ourselves, respecting our own pace, and knowing how to ask for help when we need it.

Women are made of resilience. But we don't have to do everything alone or to the limit. This is a time to prioritise wellbeing, to reconnect with our rhythms and to understand that every small gesture towards ourselves has a huge impact on our long-term health.
