Hey Millennials, It’s Time to Start Talking About Menopause

What Now? Yes Now!

Menopause and especially PERImenopause can happen earlier than you think

Menopause is not an “old woman” thing—the oldest millennials, at 39, are now entering the perimenopausal period.

With a staggering count of 72 million individuals, Millennials are America's most populous living generation. While the youngest among them hover around 28 years old, it's worth noting that the eldest Millennials have already reached their early 40s.

But despite the fact that every woman will go through it, menopause remains one of the last great taboos in women's health. 

Knowledge is power

While it may sound like a cliché, arming oneself with information becomes paramount during this significant life phase.

Understanding the intricacies of perimenopause and menopause, from the physiological changes to potential symptoms and available treatment options, allows individuals to take control of their health and well-being.

Equipping oneself with knowledge enables informed decision-making, fosters proactive management of symptoms, and promotes open communication with healthcare providers.

Ultimately, in a time of transition marked by uncertainty and change, knowledge serves as the cornerstone of empowerment, guiding individuals toward navigating the menopause journey with confidence and resilience.

Hey Doc- let’s talk about perimenopause!

Having an informed conversation with your doctor about perimenopause early is essential for taking control of your health and well-being during this transitional phase. Perimenopause can begin in your 30s or 40s, and understanding the signs—such as irregular periods, mood changes, or sleep disturbances—can help you navigate this stage with confidence.

By discussing these changes early, you and your doctor can work together to identify personalized strategies, such as lifestyle adjustments, nutritional support, or medical treatments, to address your symptoms and prevent long-term health risks like osteoporosis or cardiovascular disease.

Starting this dialogue early ensures that you are proactive, not reactive, about your health, empowering you to thrive through this stage and beyond.
