And that way when we start feeling things like , oh yeah , yeah , you're right . It could be per menopause . Let me go speak to my doctor , let me speak to my health care practitioner , my mom , my grandmother , whoever else we want our friends that we want to confide in .
Wow . So really , now , so it starts about a decade before menopause and I was in peri menopause for five years until I actually realized I was in per menopause . Yeah .
So it can start as a is 35 . Like I mentioned , menopause is once you go 365 days or 12 months without a cycle after that . So it's technically just one day after that , everything is called post menopause , but really menopause , post menopause , it's the same thing .
I'm gonna tell you why the reason I love it is because when I was going through it , I went through it a little bit earlier . So the average age of menopause is 51.5 . I started those , you know , so I started a little bit earlier than my friends or at least that we any of us realized and I would ask my friends , I'd be like , are you hungrier ?
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 .
