What is Menopause
Menopause is a natural stage in a woman’s life when menstrual periods permanently stop due to a decline in reproductive hormones, primarily estrogen and progesterone. It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 and is officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period.
During the years leading up to menopause, known as perimenopause, women may experience symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and shifts in metabolism. While these changes can be challenging, menopause is a normal biological transition, and with the right support—through nutrition, exercise, sleep, and lifestyle strategies—women can maintain strong health, energy, and wellbeing during this stage of life.
