The word menopause can bring some women in a cold (ha!) sweat.
- Some want to bury their head in the sand….
- Don’t want to talk about it……
- Don’t want to even think about it….
- Think they have years before that happens.
Did you know that our wonderful lady hormones start to change in our thirties?
And continue to change in our 40’s as we head into the peri-menopause…
The peri-menopause are the years before your last period and can span from 3-10 years.
Yup 3-10 years….so that means if the average age of menopause (your last period) is 52 you could be going through the perimenopause in your early 40’s.
Yikes!! Right???
Or you may be like me at be peri-menopause in your mid 30’s…WTF?! Yeah way to young…..
It’s never to soon to listen to our feminine internal voice, to the wispers of our womanly wisdom.
Is going through the menopause as bad as the media and other women make out?
For some yes, it’s a life changer and the symptoms can be criplling.
But for others they sail though it without so much of a mild glow let alone a hot sweat!!
Why? I have no idea? Genetics and lifestyle play their part for sure.
We have to take some responsibility for ourselves right? How about we work with our body’s rather than against them?
Perhaps the symptoms are a way of out body telling us that it needs attention? It needs something, and perhaps that something isn’t chocolate or wine?
…………Or perhaps it is?? 😉
Here is link to a video I created, it’s a bit of an overview on the menopause and goes over a few key points that will help you re-balance your hormones whether you are peri-menopausal or not.
