Twinkle Khanna opens up about menopause at 52; says it once made her feel like ‘a phone with a faulty charger’

Twinkle shared that by committing to a structured routine and prioritising consistent self-care, she feels noticeably better.

What is helping Twinkle in her journey

What made the difference, Twinkle Khanna explained, wasn’t simply “accepting your age.” Instead, it was a disciplined approach built around regular workouts, carefully chosen health supplements, and self-care. Together, these practices have supported her mental wellbeing and helped her approach life with a greater sense of balance.

Reflecting on what truly worked for her, the former actress summed it up in her own words: “I feel better now, not because I ‘accepted my age gracefully’ (whatever that means), but thanks to regular weight training, a small pharmacy’s worth of supplements, the joy and purpose I find in books (reading and writing) and because after 50 I’ve finally embraced my shallow side and play mahjong regularly with my girlfriends.”

Supplements that have worked for Twinkle

As part of this journey, Twinkle Khanna also spoke about the supplements she currently relies on while navigating menopause. She clarified that she is still carefully weighing the pros and cons of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Stressing caution, she urged readers to do thorough research and consult medical professionals before introducing any supplements, noting that there is no universal formula that works for everyone.

“While I continue to mull over the pros and cons of HRT, here’s what I’m currently taking to survive this transition,” she noted.

Her current supplement routine includes:
Coenzyme Q10
NAD
Omega-3
Lion’s Mane
Health & Hers Menopause Support Iron
Vitamin D3
Collagen
