💫October is World Menopause Month! 🌸
Menopause is officially confirmed after 12 consecutive months without a period. HOWEVER, the transition (perimenopause) often begins in your 40s, bringing fluctuating hormones and over 34 possible symptoms—from hot flashes and brain fog to anxiety and joint pain.
This year, the global focus is on Chronic Pain at Midlife, shining a light on how musculoskeletal pain is frequently overlooked during this transition.
Take control of your health:
• Track your symptoms: Notice changes in your body, mood, and sleep.
• Prioritise lifestyle: Focus on strength training, balanced nutrition, and good sleep.
• Explore your options: Talk to a healthcare professional about evidence-based solutions like HRT or lifestyle adjustments.
You don’t have to navigate this transition alone. Let’s break the stigma and support each other! 💬👇
