How it works

Although nearly 75% of menopause sufferers experience hot flashes, less than 50% seek treatment.*

Vesta can help.

Many researchers found cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to be particularly effective in improving self-reported vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes).** CBT is a tool practitioners use to help people manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through CBT, people learn how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact with each other. Changing our thoughts affects how we feel, which can change the way our body reacts to stressors. If you turn to CBT when you’re overwhelmed, whether by a hot flash or life in general, you’re learning to embrace distraction and use it to your advantage.

Vesta offers you CBT-based relief that puts you in control of your hot flashes.

Once you’ve subscribed to Vesta, simply follow these steps from the Member Home page:

Step 1: Click on the Track button.

Record the symptoms of the hot flash you’re having right now. You can also go back and enter them later.

Step 2: Select a way to Tame your symptoms.

Once you’ve entered your symptoms, Vesta will automatically send you to the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) category that best matches your symptoms:

  • Make me feel better will share a positive thought to help you make it through the flash.

  • Mantra offers you a short phrase to repeat while you’re in the throes of flashing.

  • Meditation will give you breathing techniques to calm any anxiety, agitation, or dread.

Each category has 6 options. Whichever option you choose, it will help challenge any negative thought patterns and lessen the signals being sent between your brain and body.

You can also click directly on the Tame button if you’re too flustered to fuss with your symptoms.

Two simple steps and you’re on your way to finding relief!
