How you experience menopause is influenced by how healthy your hormones are; your stress levels; how well you sleep, and your overall health is during perimenopause or in your 40s.
Perimenopause or your "second puberty" is the five to ten years before the final period. It's different from menopause, the life phase that begins one year after the last period.
Some signs to look out for that signal your body is transitioning to menopause are:
|
You still have periods, but they're not the same. They may be shorter, longer, lighter, or heavier, and you can no longer set your clock by them if you could before. Maybe you're sleeping a little less well, waking up too early in the morning, and having trouble falling back to sleep. |
|
Your libido just isn't what it used to be. A few kgs seem to be creeping up around your middle and won't shift, no matter what. You're overheated and sweating more than usual, and at inconvenient times? You're irritable, having mood swings, anxiety, sadness, and even rage. |
Menopause is a celebration, a rebirth transition into your "wisdom years."
It's a natural transition and a fantastic time in life where we expand into speaking our truth, care less about what people think about us, and having more time to nurture ourselves and our dreams.
