You often hear menopause described as “natural.” And yes - it is a universal life stage that women experience.
But here’s the twist: it wasn’t “natural” to live decades after menopause the way we do today.
For most of human history, life expectancy was far shorter. Now, many of us will live 30+ years in a low-oestrogen state - and that has real consequences. Oestrogen supports brain health, memory and cognitive function, so when levels drop, so can mental clarity, recall and focus.
Understanding this context matters. Menopause may be natural, but thriving for decades after it requires awareness, support and often proactive choices for your long-term health.
This week’s episode is a masterclass on all things hormones. Join myself and experts like @oestrogen_matters as we explore the science of hormones and the multitude of ways they affect your body.
