What is menopause… and when does it begin? 💭✨
I’m Jason Kizer, Pharm.D. — pharmacist & Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, here to break down the basics every woman deserves to know.
Menopause itself is officially defined as 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, marking the natural end of ovarian hormone production.
But what most people feel first is the transition leading up to it — called perimenopause — which typically begins around 4–8 years before the average age of menopause (51).
During this time, hormone levels fluctuate significantly — and symptoms are common.
📌 Up to 34 well-recognized symptoms
📌 Over 100 have been identified
Every woman’s experience is different — and your questions deserve real answers.
