Case Study: How Harmonix+ Helped Organisations Empower Women Through Perimenopause & Menopause

Breaking through the Brain Fog

During perimenopause and menopause, women experience a range of physical and emotional changes due to the fluctuating and declining hormone levels, particularly estrogen. These changes manifest in various ways, including mood changes, hot flashes, brain fog, sleep disturbances and a decline in energy and metabolism leading to weight gain.

Harmonix+ partnered with forward-thinking, progressive organisations to create a first-of-its-kind, science-backed coaching program that helped women reclaim mental clarity, rebuild emotional resilience and thrive through their perimenopause and menopause journey.

What No One Talks About

The impact of hormonal shifts, especially perimenopause and menopause, often goes unrecognised in the workplace. Yet, recent research reveals a concerning trend: menopause symptoms are forcing nearly 1 million women out of the workforce. These women are not leaving because of a lack of capability but because of a lack of support.

“For us, we want a happy, healthy and engaged team. Retaining employees has positive financial implications for any business. It was a no-brainer to work with Harmonix.”

Sarah Thompson, Founder and CEO, Grunt Inc.

In a 2024 pilot program across three corporate partners, supporting 100 women aged 40-55, the results were striking:

  • 79% reported brain fog affecting their daily work performance

  • 68% struggled with mood changes, impacting collaboration and decision-making

  • 52% feared early cognitive decline but didn’t feel comfortable raising concerns at work.

The reality?

Biology drives behaviour, yet traditional workplace care models fail to account for the changing career and life stages of women. It’s time for business to recognise the need for support that address this gap.

The Harmonix+ Solution

Harmonix+ delivered a comprehensive 360°support system specifically designed to address the challenges of perimenopause and menopause. By integrating cutting-edge science with behavioural coaching, Harmonix+ provided each woman with a powerful toolkit tailored to their unique needs.

The program included:

  • Personalised hormone mapping (estradiol, cortisol tracking)

  • Behavioural coaching aligned with hormonal cycles

  • Nutrition guidance targeted for cognitive health and hormonal balance

  • Exercise programming designed to enhance neuroplasticity and strength

  • Cognitive self-tracking tools to monitor memory, focus and mood shifts.

By translating complex science into tangible, actionable steps, Harmonix+ empowered women to optimise their mental performance and regain control over their well-being, both in and out of the workplace. 

The Results

The impact of the program was undeniable. Throughout the six-month program, participants saw significant improvements in their cognitive health and overall well-being:

  • 82% of participants reported significant improvements in mental clarity 

  • 76% felt “like themselves” again by the end of the program

  • 64% regained full confidence in professional environments

  • 71% reported better emotional regulation across both work and home life.

These women weren’t just surviving their perimenopause and menopause, they were thriving and leading through it with clarity and confidence 

“For the first time in two years, I could walk into a boardroom and trust the right words would come” — Participant, 47

“Our HR team brought Harmonix+ in. It's the best professional development investment I’ve seen for women.” — Participant, 51

“My perimenopause had me questioning everything, from my job performance to my parenting. Harmonix+ gave me the map back to myself.” — Participant, 45

Why Harmonix+ Works

Harmonix+ sets itself apart by redefining midlife women’s health support. The program’s success can be attributed to three key pillars:

  • Insight + Empathy: Recognising and addressing the emotional layers of brain fog.

  • Tracking + Trust: Connecting biological shifts with lived experience, fostering trust through data.

  • Language + Liberation: Empowering women to articulate their cognitive and emotional resilience and own their journey through perimenopause and menopause.

If your organisation is committed to building a future where women lead with clarity and confidence at every stage of life, partner with Harmonix+.
