Meet the Founder
The years leading up to my 40th were mostly fun but peppered generously with hot flashes, irritability, scary mood swings and rapid hair fall. Like we all do, I would wonder what was wrong with me for a bit, and then go about my life. Then came the week of the big four oh. I went in to see my lovely gynaec for a routine pap smear and she gave me a gift. The test result was normal, but I was perimenopausal! I’m not being snarky calling it a gift because it really was something that changed my life for the better. I’m hoping reading this will do the same for you too.
My gynaec, who I trust with my life, said I would need to take up to 6-7 supplements a day to keep my body functions humming. I was told to expect symptoms that would be buzzkills on a cosmic scale.
I spent the next few days (read months) whinging. Every ‘hope you had a great birthday’ was answered with a rant about exactly how good the day had been. Yup, I didn’t hide a thing. And I’m glad I didn’t, because that brought some revelations. Revelation number one was that perimenopause and its ghastly symptoms were as common as hangovers after a night of binging.
Revelation number two, was that menopause was going to triumph. But you see I’m really competitive. If I’m not going to lose to my daughter in a game of Monopoly, I’m damn right not going to lose to oestrogens in life.
I tried to find fruits, plants and natural ingredients that I could blend, cook, swallow together to reduce the number of pills I would have to eat. They tasted like ash mixed with wet cardboard (yuck!). I remember eating candy and talking to my husband, Cyrus, about how I wished my weird concoctions tasted like this. And that dear reader was our story's eureka moment. If it’s food that your body needs, why have it in a pill? What if we could reimagine daily supplements? What if we could take all these supplements and add them to something that we love to eat? So, with Cyrus’s medical background and my years of experience working in health and wellness, we began extensive research and development, trial and errors, taste tests and spitting things out with disgusted faces. After years of toiling, we present to you this delightful little fruit of our endeavours. Caim by årelang™ - nutrition in the most fun and delicious form, so you can really enjoy the process of making yourself healthy again!
