Understanding Menopause

Menopause is defined as the cessation of menstrual cycles for 12 consecutive months. However, the symptoms of menopause can begin several years before this milestone. While the average age for menopause is 51, it can occur earlier due to factors such as hysterectomy, ovary removal, chemotherapy, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).

Menopause presents unique challenges as hormone imbalances in one area of the body can lead to excesses or deficiencies elsewhere. As estrogen levels fluctuate leading up to and during menopause, it is essential to maintain hormonal balance.

Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone all work together to regulate key bodily functions, making it crucial to support their balance during this transition.
