Life After Menopause

Life After Menopause
Magazine

If you’re reaching the end of your menopause journey or feeling curious about what the future might have in store for you postmenopause, you’ve come to the right place. It’s natural to feel somewhat apprehensive about this next phase, particularly when we’re exposed to such negative images of postmenopausal women. However, the biggest menopause myth of them all is that life is over once you’ve reached this stage – you’ve entered old age and it’s a downward spiral of aches and pains, poor health, and mental decline. This is simply not true! Life after menopause has so much to offer. Once you have a better understanding of your body and what you need to be doing to get the best out of it, it becomes much easier to adapt your lifestyle, reframe your thoughts, take back control, and start living the life you truly want to be living.
