About this listen

  • Menopause, which typically occurs between age 44 and 55, marks the natural end of menstruation and fertility, and is confirmed after 12 consecutive months without menstruation
  • A 2025 study presented at The Menopause Society Annual Meeting found that women who experienced earlier menopause and had weaker heart function showed more signs of brain aging
  • Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, and Alzheimer's affects women nearly twice as often as men
  • Falling estrogen and progesterone levels affect every system — blood vessels stiffen, sleep and mood fluctuate, and metabolism slows
  • Menopause is not the end of vitality — it's a biological reset. Incorporating a nutrient-rich diet and a healthy lifestyle can restore balance and boost energy
