I Hit Menopause at 38 – And No One Told Me What Was Happening
I was so bloated, so exhausted, so unlike myself that I actually thought I might be pregnant. When my doctor told me I was in early menopause due to genetics, I was stunned. I thought menopause happened in your 50s, not at 38.
Suddenly everything made sense – the brain fog, the night sweats, the weight that appeared out of nowhere. But understanding what was happening was just the beginning. I had no idea how to fix it.
The Darkness Before the Dawn
What hit me hardest wasn't the physical symptoms – it was the emotional ones. I'm normally a very positive person, so when depression and discouragement crept in, it felt like a punch to the gut. There was this overall feeling of being unwell that I couldn't shake. The hormone changes affected my mood in ways I never expected.
The worst part? I had no one to explain what was happening to me. No one to tell me this was normal, or that there was a way through it. My doctor gave me a diagnosis but no roadmap. So I did what I always do when I don't understand something – I became obsessive about researching it.
I read every book I could find. I spent hours online, digging through studies and forums and articles. I was already experienced with nutrition from managing my husband's diabetes for over 20 years – I knew how powerful food choices could be. But menopause required something more. I experimented with exercise, diet changes, and supplements until I found the combination that actually worked.
Slowly, I started feeling like myself again. The brain fog lifted. The weight started to shift. My energy came back. And that dark cloud over my mood? It finally broke.
Today, at 58, I've been managing menopause for 20 years. I've learned what works, what doesn't, and what makes the biggest difference. I'm not a doctor. I don't have certifications on my wall. What I have is two decades of living with this – and figuring out how to thrive anyway.
I created this program because I desperately needed something like it when I was 38, scared, and alone. You don't have to figure this out by yourself. I already did the hard work – now let me share what I learned.
