Like I have a daughter who's in grade six and when I looked at her grade five curriculum , I looked to see what they're teaching . They teach about puberty , but they don't even mention the word menopause . So I was really taken aback when I went into this phase of life , which is why I've really made the commitment to educate as many women as possible about it because it can start as early as 35 .
OK . So I was impairing menopause for five years before I even knew . Well , the reason I kind of even made the association was because I was standing at my desk working one day , I turned 47 2 months after my 47th birthday .
The uneducated males have no idea . There's all these symptoms and possibilities with menopause . We're just like , oh menopause .
OK ? Or you know , so they're like , you know , a lot of different things like you're being dismissed or you're too young to be in menopause , menopause in your forties and even in your fifties , which is not true as we talked about , it can be any time over the age of 35 . So definitely speak to your doctor , go get things checked out .
Like I always say I have the best community on Tik Tok because everyone is so supportive and we're learning from each other . Like so here I am , I'm called the menopause educator and researcher on tiktok . But truthfully I learned just as much from my community .
