Why we stand behind it
Find Your Calm, Sleep Deeply, Wake Restored.
Co-Created by Dr. Mary Claire Haver with Sleep Physician Andrea Matsumura, MD.
During the aging process, shifting hormones can affect mood, stress, and sleep. The ‘Pause Nutrition Sleep was designed to gently support the body’s natural rhythms so you can feel rested and restored.*
Poor sleep has a ripple effect on productivity, mood, and overall well-being — especially during the midlife journey. The ‘Pause Nutrition® Sleep positions itself as a smart daily investment in health, offering premium ingredients at a fraction of the cost of disrupted sleep (lost time, reduced energy, stress).
○ Generic sleep aids → inexpensive, but often just melatonin (single-action, short-lived).
○ Luxury formulas → can cost 2–3x more, but not all use branded/clinically studied active ingredients.
○ Sleep → strikes the balance: premium, research-backed, accessible price point for everyday use.
○ Backed by branded, research-supported ingredients manufactured under strict GMP standards, ensuring purity, potency, and consistent performance.
Key ingredients
At The ’Pause Nutrition®, we know that restful sleep is essential during the peri/menopause journey. That’s why the Sleep formula combines three premium, research-backed ingredients that work in harmony:
AlphaWave® L-theanine (200 mg): An amino acid from green tea, clinically studied to promote calm and relaxation — easing the transition into sleep. Supports relaxation without drowsiness. Shown to promote calm brain wave activity and reduce stress perception.*
Albion® Magnesium (150 mg): Provides well-absorbed chelated magnesium to support muscle relaxation, calm mood. The TRAACS® chelation system enhances bioavailability and digestive tolerance.*
MicroActive® Melatonin (3 mg): A sustained-release form that mimics the body’s natural rhythm — helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
Together, they provide a multi-layered approach to sleep support: calming the mind, relaxing the body, and guiding you into deeper, more restorative rest.*

What is an undertone?
An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Pro-tip
New to melatonin or sensitive? Start with ½ serving for 3–4 nights, then increase to 1 serving as needed. If you experience next-day grogginess, consider taking it earlier or reducing the serving to ½. Do not exceed suggested use.

After decades of caring for women, she saw a critical gap in menopause care-so she went back to school to earn her certification in Culinary Medicine and deepen her understanding of nutrition’s role in women’s health.

She’s been featured in Forbes, Oprah’s Menopause Revolution, QVC, The New York Times and The Today Show, and with over 7 million followers, she’s changing the conversation around midlife health – one evidence- based solution at a time.
