The narrative that menopause makes women "deficient" in hormones has a negative impact on the way we view this transition. Instead, menopause is a natural life stage, even if it may not be through a natural process in the case of surgical or medical menopause or due to premature ovarian insufficiency. Post-menopause, the body produces small amounts of oestrogen from androgens via the adrenal glands and body fat. Women are designed to thrive beyond menopause—our bodies are designed to adapt to this new phase of life.

Have you ever noticed that you dress according to where you are in your menstrual cycle?
Maybe the way that our oestrogen and progesterone rises and falls throughout our cycle influences what we pick out of the wardrobe in the morning?
