Menopause is not a disease, it is a natural stage of life. It’s part of the journey women go through as they age. The hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and lack of energy can make menopause one of the most physically and emotionally miserable times in a woman’s life. So, let’s review what causes menopause, what you can expect and how Revival Soy can help support a more comfortable mid-life.
Hi, I'm Suzanne Tabor. I founded Revival® when I was in menopause in 1998. It was a 'game changer' for me.
Growing older is a privilege some don't get. Let's not fret over what we can't change but use our God given ability to do what we can to maintain the best health for ourselves as possible. Often both women and men find themselves as caregivers so we need our health to help others. I've been there also and can say Revival® helped me go the distance as well as my mother.
I am your advocate for good nutrition as we embrace our journey through this life. You deserve to feel vibrant, energized and your absolute best every single day...and my mission is to make that simpler for YOU.
I was 39 in peri-menopause, 50 when menopause hit me full on and when I made the picture with the horses above I was 60 and still needing my Revival® to help with hot flashes. Now more than 25+ years later I can't go without my Revival® everyday for 'good nutrition' for pressing on in life.
Revival® is truly PROTEIN WITH A PURPOSE™
Peri-Menopause
Mid-to-Late 30s to Mid-40s: The time period that begins 8 to 10 years before menopause and marks the beginning of declining hormone production by the ovaries.
Menopause
Late 40s to Mid-50s: At this stage, the ovaries have stopped releasing eggs and producing most of their estrogen. It’s during this time women can expect to experience the bulk of menopausal discomforts.
Post-Menopause
Late 50s and Beyond. During this stage, menopausal discomforts, such as hot flashes, ease for most women, but health risks are increased.

Menopause Hot Flash and Night Sweat Support with Soy?
While soy is not a replacement for prescription medication or HRT, over twenty clinical trials show that soy can help you have a more enjoyable and healthy mid-life by lessening hot flashes and other mild discomforts of menopause.¹⁻¹⁰
Soy consumption has been shown to significantly improve a woman’s comfort and health during Peri-Menopause, Menopause and Post-Menopause. A medical review in American Family Physician (the journal of the prestigious American Association of Family Physicians) found that soy can significantly improve the discomforts of menopause.⁶
Scientists became very interested in soy’s potential role for menopause hot flashes and night sweat reduction after demographic studies revealed that only ~ 9% of women living in Asia, where the diet is rich in soy, experienced hot flashes during mid-life, in contrast to almost ~ 80 to 90% of Western women, who experience menopausal discomforts.¹¹
Because soy can reduce hot flashes and night sweats, and may reduce the risk of heart disease when consumed as part of an overall healthy diet, many doctors and healthcare providers now recommend soy as part of a healthy mid-life nutrition strategy.
What Causes Menopause?
Menopause occurs when declining levels of estrogen cause changes in your periods. This is a natural part of aging and not considered a disease. During menopause, ovulation (egg production) stops, causing periods to become less frequent and eventually stop altogether. For many women, this process begins silently somewhere around age 40. Declining estrogen levels during menopause may lead to poor vaginal and uterine health. Estrogen also helps women maintain strong bones and good cholesterol levels.

Average Time Until Results
Gradually declining hormone levels (mid-to-late 30’s to mid 40’s)
The transition to menopause is a time period known as perimenopause, a process that begins 8 to 10 years before menopause and marks the beginning of declining hormone production by the ovaries. In the final one to two years of perimenopause, the decrease in estrogen accelerates and many women begin to experience menopausal discomfort such as irregular menstrual periods, hot flashes, mood swings, and lack of energy.
Cessation of menstrual periods (late 40’s to mid 50’s)
At this stage, the ovaries have stopped releasing eggs and producing most of their estrogen. It’s during this time women can expect to experience the bulk of menopausal discomforts. Once a woman has gone 1 full year without a menstrual period, she has made it through menopause and at this point is considered postmenopausal.
Increased health risks (late 50’s and beyond)
These are the years following menopause. During this stage, menopausal discomforts, such as hot flashes, ease for most women. Postmenopausal women are at increased risk for a number of health conditions, such as osteoporosis and heart disease.
Enjoy 1 or 2 naturally-concentrated (6x) Revival shakes per day with a good multivitamin. Regular daily consumption is important for achieving all of soy’s potential benefits.
