Why Do I Smell Like Onions When I Sweat? 🤔🧅

This question came up recently in a perimenopause and menopause support group, and it's a great one!

Many women notice changes in body odor during perimenopause and menopause. Hormonal fluctuations can affect how we sweat, and factors like nutrition, hydration, stress, digestion, and overall wellness can also play a role.

What I find interesting is that many people immediately ask:

"How do I detox?"

But here's the thing...

Detoxification isn't where we start.

In my Foundations to Wellness framework, detoxification is actually Foundation #5, because before the body can effectively eliminate what it doesn't need, we need to support the foundations that come first:

✅ Hydration

✅ Healthy Movement

✅Nourishing Nutrition

✅ Digestion

✅ Detox

When these foundational areas are supported, the body's natural elimination processes can function more efficiently.

Too often, people jump straight to detox teas, cleanses, or supplements while skipping the basics that support long-term wellness.

Instead of asking, "What detox should I do?" ask yourself these questions:

👉 Am I drinking enough water?

👉 Am I moving my body regularly?

👉 Am I supporting healthy digestion?

👉 Am I getting quality sleep?
