It's a fact that Menopause has been around as long as humankind. It was 1820 before the term Menopause was coined.

What's changed? Why so much talk about it now?

LIFE EXPECTANCY

Since 1890 life expectancy has almost doubled.

In 1890 women may not have lived long enough to experience Menopause with average life expectancy of 43 (currently average age of menopause is 52)

In 2025 it's likely that a woman may live 40 years post menopause.

40 years without oestrogen! Only now are we beginning to understand the impact of this.

Research continues thankfully but it is now widely recognised that life without oestrogen increases risk of many diseases and conditions:

Cardio vascular disease
Dementia
Osteoporosis
Many cancers
Obesity
Diabetes

In generations gone by, women were encouraged to be quiet and get on with it, to put a lid on 'hysterics' (source of term hysterectomy). Thankfully it's changing. We owe it to ourselves and our daughters and grandchildren to shout from the rooftops about the importance of oestrogen!

From the age of @ 35 (some younger) you can assume that your perimenopause is here or imminent.

Be aware of changes:

Length of cycle
Flow of cycle
Mood swings
Brain fog
Increased belly fat
Sleep changes
Hit flushes

These are some of the palpable changes of menopause. Signs that we need to pay attention to and take to our health care providers as soon as you are aware.

Be ahead of the curve rather than behind it.

Suffer less, live longer!

May 2025 be a strong and healthy year!
