Mel B Shares Menopause Struggles, Backs Collagen Supplement, and Tweaks Home Life

Her candor may push wider talk about menopause.

Overview

  • At a London event as Revive Collagen’s new global face, Mel B said recent anxiety and night sweats made her consider a GP visit to check for menopause.
  • She said the supplement eased her symptoms and that she no longer plans to start hormone replacement therapy, a personal claim not independently verified by the outlets.
  • To handle night sweats and opposite temperature needs, she and her husband Rory McPhee bought an Eight Sleep Pod mattress that cools or heats each side of the bed.
  • She linked her increased anxiety to trauma from her past marriage to Stephen Belafonte and said she may return to therapy.
  • She urged open talk about what she jokingly calls the “MEL-opause,” noting that many women face hot flashes, night sweats, and mood shifts during this stage.
