Yes. lots more info please, including a recipe!! I'm having the hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, and some crying. Can't take hormone replacements, so looking for some alternatives before I get arrested for stripping in public.

I heard about this cake a while ago and when I bought some soya flour for my sister it had the recipe on the side of the packet.

Unfortunately, during the menopause a women's oestrogen levels drop. HRT replaces the oestrogen, thereby delaying the natural ageing (aging) process.
Ingredients such as seeds and soya are rich in phytoestrogens - natural plant chemicals which mimic female hormones. It is thought it helps with the symptoms of menopause. Only one slice a day is needed.

Here are some web site links for the recipes.

This last web site also lists the foods that are good to eat to help with menopause.
