Menopause is more than hot flushes and night sweats. It can show up in surprising ways like aching joints, sudden anxiety, or even that frustrating “brain fog” when words just won’t come.

Menopause isn’t a sudden event — it’s a gradual transition that unfolds across three distinct stages: perimenopause, menopause, and post menopause. Each phase brings unique changes, challenges, and opportunities for growth. By understanding the natural rhythm of this hormonal journey, you can move from confusion to clarity. Here, we explore each stage in depth and highlight how knowledge, preparation, and the right support can help you thrive through menopause and beyond.
