Building a deep-tech startup isn’t just hard—it’s a marathon in a thunderstorm. Jacqueline Nuwame, CEO of Minimal App, knows this firsthand. Her AI-driven solution for women facing perimenopause is proof that intentional, strategic growth matters more than scaling fast.
Growth at your own pace doesn’t mean playing it safe—it means making smart, deliberate moves for long-term success.
Because in startups, rushing the process can cost you everything.
Jacqueline’s take is: “Prioritize clarity, stay focused, and don’t let the noise dictate your direction.”

You’re not alone! Sleep disruptions are one of the most common challenges during menopause, affecting mental clarity, mood, and overall well-being. Hormonal changes can make it harder to fall asleep—and stay asleep.
Here are some tips to help you prioritize rest:
🕒 Set a consistent bedtime to signal your body it’s time to wind down.
📵 Turn off screens 30 minutes before bed to avoid blue light interfering with melatonin production.
❄️ Keep your room cool and dark to combat hot flashes and night sweats.
A healthy sleep routine can make a world of difference, helping your mind and body reset so you can wake up refreshed and ready to tackle your day. 💪🌸

🌊😌 Are you experiencing mood swings? 😈 🌊
For many women, menopause brings unexpected emotional ups and downs. Mood swings can arise from fluctuating hormones and may lead to feelings of irritability, sadness, or frustration—sometimes without any clear reason. These emotional changes can be challenging. We FEEL you! 💔
However, small lifestyle shifts can help bring balance. Here are four ways to naturally support your mood:
💪 Exercise More and Harder: Physical activity releases endorphins, helping to stabilize mood.
✔️ Try:Skiing, hiking, or brisk walking to lift your spirits.
✔️ Adding variety with swimming, cycling, or weightlifting for an energy boost.
✔️ Aiming for 3–4 times a week of exercise, combining cardio and strength training.
🧘 Meditate and Breathe: Mindfulness practices can calm the mind and ease emotional fluctuations.
✔️ Guided apps like #Headspace make meditation easy, even for beginners.
✔️ Simple breathing exercises help manage stress. Just a few minutes in silence can help process emotions and reduce tension.
🍬 Remove Added Sugar: Sugar spikes can worsen mood swings.
Consider these alternatives:
✔️ Swap desserts for fruits, especially in the morning.
✔️ Check labels to avoid hidden sugars in processed foods.
✔️ Skip artificial sweeteners to minimize mood swings and irritability.
☕ Reduce Caffeine Gradually: Caffeine can increase anxiety and irritability, so cut back carefully.
✔️ Limit coffee in the afternoons; try tea or herbal alternatives instead.
✔️ Gradually reduce caffeine to avoid withdrawal headaches.
✔️ Swap out sports and energy drinks to reduce overall caffeine intake.
These small, sustainable changes can help you find emotional balance during menopause. 🧘💪🍃 Minimal is here to support your well-being as you navigate this transition.

🧠 🌫️ Are you experiencing brain fog? 🌫️ 🧠
For many women, menopause brings about mental cloudiness, often called "brain fog." It affects memory, focus, and clarity, and can be incredibly frustrating. Here are four lifestyle changes that can help reduce brain fog and boost mental clarity:
🛏️ Bedtime Routine:
Prioritizing quality sleep is essential. Here are some effective ways to set the stage for better rest:
- Screens off 30 minutes before bed: Blue light from screens can interfere with melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep.
- Consistent bedtime: Going to bed and waking up at the same time supports your circadian rhythm and helps regulate sleep quality.
- Cool, dark room: A cooler room temperature and darkness promote deeper, uninterrupted sleep, allowing your brain the recovery it needs.
💪 Exercise Regularly:
Physical activity boosts circulation, which can improve brain function. Aim for a balanced approach with:
- 4 times per week of cardio (like brisk walking or cycling) to improve blood flow to the brain.
- Strength training and stretching to reduce muscle tension and boost endorphin levels, positively impacting focus and mood.
☕ Cut Out Caffeine:
While caffeine can give you a quick energy boost, it often disrupts sleep and worsens brain fog. Here’s how to manage your intake:
- Limit caffeine after noon: This helps reduce its impact on your sleep quality later in the evening.
- Switch to alternatives: Herbal teas or decaf options can offer a warm, comforting beverage without overstimulating the nervous system.
🥗 Cut Out Processed Foods:
Processed foods and additives can increase inflammation and negatively affect brain function. Try making these adjustments:
- Substitute packaged snacks with whole foods like fruits, nuts, or yogurt.
- Avoid vegetable oils and fast food: These are often linked to inflammation, so try cooking with healthier oils like olive or avocado oil.
With these adjustments, brain fog can be better managed, leading to clearer, more focused days. A few small changes can make a big difference in navigating menopause with greater ease.

Menopause: A Workplace Reality We Can No Longer Ignore 🌸 🧠
The impacts of menopause aren’t just personal; they affect millions of employees globally, influencing productivity, retention, and overall workforce well-being. Recent findings from #KPMG and #PwC highlight the urgent need for businesses to address this often-overlooked issue.
🔹 KPMG reports that 66% of women believe menopause is a taboo topic at work, and nearly 50% feel unsupported during this critical life stage. Shockingly, only 18% of employees have access to menopause-related support from their employers.
🔹 Meanwhile, PwC emphasizes that menopause-related productivity losses cost companies billions annually, stemming from concentration difficulties, physical discomfort, and missed workdays.
🔹 43% of employees experiencing menopause symptoms report facing workplace barriers, and only 38% feel adequately supported. This lack of support has led to 48% of employees believing their company lacks a clear menopause policy. Alarmingly, 1 in 10 employees affected by menopause end up leaving their jobs due to insufficient support.
By creating inclusive policies, providing manager training, and fostering open conversations, we have a unique opportunity to support our colleagues going through menopause and strengthen our workplaces.
Let’s break the stigma and make meaningful changes today! 💪

Menopause is a powerful journey in a woman’s life, but it often brings physical and emotional challenges that can impact our daily routines. If you're experiencing menopause, here’s a reminder to prioritize your well-being throughout the week. Small, mindful steps can make a big difference in how you feel!
💧 Monday – Hydrate and Nourish: Start your week with intentional hydration and balanced meals rich in protein and fiber. Water intake and nutrient-dense foods support energy levels and help manage symptoms.
💆 Tuesday – Mindfulness & Meditation: A few moments of deep breathing or meditation can significantly ease stress, helping balance mood and mental clarity.
🚶 Wednesday – Movement Matters: Go for a walk, practice yoga, or engage in light exercise. Physical activity can reduce hot flashes, improve sleep, and boost your mood!
📝 Thursday – Journaling for Clarity: Reflect on your week so far. Writing down thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations can help spot patterns, identify triggers, and track what feels good for you.
🛌 Friday – Prioritize Rest: Start winding down your week with an early night or relaxing activity. Prioritizing quality sleep is crucial for managing energy and mental resilience.
💃 Saturday – Connect with Community: Spend time with friends or join a support group. Sharing experiences can help alleviate feelings of isolation and empower you to navigate menopause with confidence.
💖 Sunday – Self-Care & Reflection: Dedicate time to activities that nurture your soul, whether it’s a hobby, a quiet afternoon, or pampering. A self-care ritual can renew your spirit for the week ahead.
Menopause is unique for each woman, but by prioritizing daily self-support, it’s possible to thrive through the transitions. 💪 Remember, you're not alone – celebrate the strength it takes to walk this path!

📊 The statistics don’t lie: Women’s health deserves more attention, and menopause is vastly underfunded, with just 0.03% of NIH funding allocated to menopause research, it's clear we need to do more.
Thank you to The 'Pause Life with Dr. Mary Claire Haver for driving the conversation on this important issue. Together, let’s advocate for more research, education, and support for women’s health. 💪
