Phase 1 (35-45 years old):
This phase is when reproductive hormone production starts to shift and become less consistent. If you’re in good hormonal health and you’re engaging in cyclical self-care, you shouldn’t feel symptoms. You should be ovulating and menstruating regularly and have good muscle tone, skin quality, energy, & sex drive. If you are experiencing symptoms like infertility, vaginal dryness, accelerated skin aging, or dry hair, these are signs that your hormones need some TLC...ASAP!
Phase 2 (45-55 years old):
During this phase, FSH levels rise to the point where you no longer ovulate. This phase will be relatively smooth sailing if you’ve taken care of your hormonal health during Phase 1. However, many women let the symptoms they experience in Phase 1 go unaddressed and that compounds their symptoms in Phase 2.
