  • As far as I know, it’s also barely taught in medical school. So doctor’s aren’t even that educated about it. Luckily there are more and more female doctors that are pushing for more education about perimenopause/menopause. If your interested, I highly recommend reading The Menopause Brain by Dr. Lisa Mosconi. She’s a neurosurgeon who is currently researching the effects of menopause on the brain and also Alzheimer’s. It’s a very informative read. :-)


  • Menopause or perimenopause? Menopause is just the day that a woman hasn’t had a period for 365 days. After that day, they’re post menopause. Leading up to menopause is called perimenopause and it can last up to 10 years and start for some women in their late 30s. I hope I’m not coming off as rude, I just like to try and educate people about this sort of thing because for much too long women have not openly talked about perimenopause/menopause and us elder millennials and Gen xers currently going through it are no longer staying silent about it as our mothers and grandmother’s did.
