Menopause is a natural phase of a person’s life as menstruation finishes, which occurs at around 40-50 years old. The experience is individual, and can be associated with symptoms such as hot flashes, mood changes, and changes to the body. Due to the decline in hormones (oestrogen and progesterone), there are physiological and biological changes including loss of bone mass, change in metabolism, change in weight/ body composition. While these hormonal changes are inevitable, it is essential to look after yourself while going through these changes, regardless of the severity of symptoms.
