Menopause only means 12 months without a period. No two menopauses are the same, because we are all different and the way we live it depends on our upbringing, our education, our experiences, our spirituality or, simply, how we are at the moment it comes to us.
The really important thing is to understand what is happening in our body, be well informed and be aware of what is going to happen, to take the reins. And, of course, knowing what we can do to feel better, to avoid risks and take care of ourselves.
