In 2019 Karen Martel had premature ovarian failure, and found herself quickly heading into menopause at the age of 42. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise as she started avidly studying peri and post menopause conditions. Karen reversed her menopause is now on a mission to help women sail through this time and reverse their hormone imbalances.
