“Menopause” gets used as a catch-all, but it’s really three stages.
Perimenopause
The years leading up to menopause, when oestrogen and progesterone start to swing unpredictably. This is when many women first notice restless nights, shifting moods, low energy, or brain fog — and because hormones are fluctuating rather than simply declining, the experience can feel erratic from week to week.
Menopause
Technically a single point in time: twelve months after your last period. The average age is around 51, but the range is wide and normal.
Postmenopause
Everything after. Hormone levels settle at a lower baseline, which is why bone, muscle and heart health become a bigger focus in these years.
The most important reframe: this is a natural life stage, not an illness. The aim isn’t to “fix” it — it’s to support your body well as it changes. A steady daily foundation of the minerals and botanicals your body leans on can make the transition feel more manageable.
