Today we begin a series of episodes on the metamorphosis of menopause and perimenopause.

Why is this important? Why should we care? Isn’t menopause just the end of your period every month?

Turns out even though women live longer than men, we don’t live healthier than men. statistically women spend the last 10-20 years of their lives in poorer health than men.

Women post menopause have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, chronic pain, inflammation, dementia, depression, anxiety and Alzheimers.

And that’s because estrogen is protective and there are estrogen receptors everywhere in the body And when that goes away it changes every system we have from digestion to cognition, from metabolism to sleep.

But menopause isn’t a disease.

Menopause is a transformation not an ending, it’s not a pathology, there’s nothing wrong with you, it's a metamorphosis.
