Menopause marks the end of menstrual cycles and the beginning of a new hormonal landscape, driven by a permanent decline in estrogen and progesterone.
This transition affects far more than reproduction. Because hormone receptors exist throughout the body, menopause influences metabolism, cardiovascular health, brain function, bone density, sleep, mood, and sexual wellbeing.
Many women experience symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, weight changes, brain fog, joint pain, and shifts in mood or energy. These changes are not simply “aging”; they reflect the body’s adaptation to a new hormonal baseline. Menopause also increases long‑term risks for osteoporosis, insulin resistance, and cardiometabolic disease, making education and early support essential.
This tag brings together guides, expert insights, and evidence‑based explanations to help women understand the biology of menopause, the range of symptoms, and the lifestyle, diagnostic, and therapeutic options that can support health and vitality in the post‑menopausal years.
