Perimenopause is the time leading up to menopause. Think of it as the transition phase when our body starts to have certain symptoms such as irregular periods, joint pain, mood swings, hot flashes and altered sleep patterns, to name a few. It can start around 40 years of age and last anywhere from 5 to 15 years. Dr. Joan Borysenko refers to this phase as the “midlife metamorphosis”, however it is up to us and our choices how well we come out of it.
None of us like to be told we look older than we are. Yes, we can put fillers and Botox to reduce fine lines and sagging necks but where we really should start is by looking at our diets.
What if you could rejuvenate your health and cells in your body, for “less-than-free”? This sounds a bit like a sales pitch, but there is some impressive science behind it. Let’s think about the process of recycling and in this context, cell recycling. In scientific terms there is a concept called “autophagy”, which I’ll refer to as self-recycling.
