Why is talking about menopause so taboo?  It happens to EVERY woman.  It's a time of transition for women and we need to talk about it more openly. Amanda Thebes, author of Menopocalypse: How I Learned To Thrive During Menopause and How You Can Too shares her experience with perimenopause at age 42.  It took her 2 years to be diagnosed properly!  That's crazy. 

Women can spend 8-10 years leading up to menopause, otherwise also known as post-menopause. There is a laundry list of possible symptoms such as being exhaustion, weight gain, and hot flashes. If you are a woman, learning about available treatments and resources will help you get through menopause.  This is also for men, too, because you should know what's happening to the women in your life when they hit this stage in life.
