The menopause for many women is a daunting time of change, of unexpected
health challenges, of rollercoaster emotions and unprecedented shifts in
how we feel physically and emotionally. But we emerge wiser than before,
and stronger than we know. For many, the years immediately
post-menopause bring other seismic changes too - empty nests,
re-evaluated careers, losses and gains as individual as we are.
The decade that takes us from our early 50s to early 60s is a time for
us to take stock, to power ahead, to decide who we are and how we want
to live as we face the future. And the foundation for that, whatever
those decisions might be? Our health, physical and mental.
The years immediately after the menopause are the most important for a
woman's health: the actions we take now will shape and define the rest
of our lives. At the same time, we're dealing with everything from
falling hormone levels to weakening bones: add in a pervading feeling
that we've lost identity and we have a toxic environment in which to
grow older. But this is the time to step away from the prevailing
narrative of failing faculties and oncoming illness and instead power up
to make the changes which will define how we age. From now, for the rest
of our lives...
