Women’s Wellness Life Stages

​

👋 Day 1! Today is the day to start checking off those habits on your Tracker––and feel great about any check mark you add! 📝

​

Let’s get started! As women, part of knowing how best to take ourselves is knowing what life stage we are in.

​

Which Stage Are You In? 🤔

​

​

​​

​​​

• Young Adulthood – In your 20’s and 30’s, you have the chance to set yourself up for a lifetime of good health and well-being. It’s all about laying the foundation by creating habits that support you. This is a time when you may be vulnerable to PMS symptoms, which we’ll get into. It’s also a time when you start thinking about supporting your vaginal health and urinary tract health.

​

• Pregnancy + Postpartum – If you’re growing a baby, giving birth, or recovering and breastfeeding, your body is going through big changes and challenges and has some very important nutritional needs. 


​

• Perimenopause + Menopause – Perimenopause is when your hormones begin to fluctuate as you transition to menopause. In more ways than one, it’s like being between seasons: “It’s hot, no it’s cold, no it’s hot!” Hot flashes and sleep problems can come up. Perimenopause begins anywhere between your mid-30s to mid-50s. For some people, it’s short. For many, it lasts 4-8 years. When exactly is menopause? It’s the point when you haven’t had a period for 12 consecutive months. 

​

• Post Menopause + Healthy Aging – In this phase, your hormones stabilize at lower levels, and many menopausal symptoms tend to decrease over time. However, as you age you are at increased risk of certain health conditions, including heart disease and osteoporosis. The good news is that there are things you can do to feel your best and help reduce those risks.

​

• Remember, you’re not alone in going through the ups and downs of these stages! Lots of support is available, including this group. 👐
