At Gaya Wellness, we help women navigate this transition with balance, confidence, and support. By combining science-backed care with a whole-woman approach, we empower you to move through menopause feeling informed, supported, and in control of your health.
Menopause is officially reached when you’ve gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period—most often between ages 45 and 55, with the average around 51. It happens as the ovaries stop releasing eggs and estrogen and progesterone production naturally decline.
But let’s be real: what it feels like is your body throwing a goodbye party for your periods—with hot flashes, mood shifts, and unpredictable sleep as the “decorations.”
The years leading up to menopause, called perimenopause, can start much earlier and often bring the first wave of symptoms. With the right support, however, this phase of life can be about empowerment, strength, and thriving—not just “getting through it.”But let’s be real: what it feels like is your body throwing a goodbye party for your periods—with hot flashes, mood shifts, and unpredictable sleep as the “decorations.”
Every woman’s experience is unique, but several factors influence how menopause shows up:
Symptom patterns and timing often run in families.
Removal of the ovaries can cause menopause immediately.
Chemotherapy, radiation, or certain medications can trigger early menopause.
A rare condition that may cause menopause before age 40.
Nutrition, sleep, stress levels, and activity all shape how your body adapts to hormonal changes.
Symptoms can range from mild to disruptive—and sometimes feel like your body is playing a practical joke:
Hot flashes and night sweats (your body’s DIY sauna sessions)
Irregular or skipped periods before they stop entirely
Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety
Weight gain, especially around the belly
Vaginal dryness and lower libido
Trouble falling or staying asleep
Some women breeze through, while others feel like their bodies are staging a full-scale protest. Either way—your experience is real, valid, and deserves care.
At Gaya Wellness, we don’t hand out cookie-cutter advice. Instead, we take a personalized, compassionate approach to help you feel your best.
Menopause is a natural part of aging, but it doesn’t mean you have to accept discomfort, fatigue, or mood swings as your “new normal.” With the right support, you can move through this transition with balance, vitality, and confidence.
At Gaya Wellness, we combine medical expertise with compassion and a little sass. We’ll normalize the conversation, cut through the confusion, and empower you with solutions that work.
Because menopause isn’t the end of your story—it’s the start of a vibrant new chapter. And with the right care, it can be one where you feel strong, supported, and unapologetically yourself.
