Menopausal
Health

As women, we are no strangers to the physical & emotional impact of the hormonal roller coaster ride

... THROUGH PUBERTY, MENSTRUATION, PREGNANCY, AND (PERI-)MENOPAUSE ...

Generally starting in our 40s, hormone levels fluctuate in peri-menopause and then drop, triggering physical and emotional symptoms associated with menopause.

Fluctuating and diminishing levels of sex hormones can be to blame for a whole host of symptoms and issues before and after menopause.
​ 

Symptoms vary from woman to woman based on her genetics, health status and dietary and lifestyle factors. With such varying influences, each woman has a unique experience of the menopausal transition.
