We should not be shocked that celebrity is comfortable enough to talk about it Vaginal vapor is also willing to talk frankly about perimenopause, a transitional period during which the ovaries decrease estrogen production.

In a video posted on Goop's Facebook page, featuring the food supplement, Ms. Ovary, of the wellness website, Gwyneth Paltrow speaks frankly about the symptoms she experienced at the age of 46.

"I think when you enter the perimenopause, you notice a lot of changes," said the Oscar winner. "I can feel the hormonal changes happening: sweating, moods, you're like suddenly mad for no reason."

According to the Mayo Clinic, perimenopause usually begins in the 1940s, but some women begin to experience symptoms as early as the age of 30. In addition to the symptoms mentioned by Paltrow, perimenopausal women may experience irregular menstruation, sleep disturbances, loss of bone density, and changes in cholesterol and sexual function.

After being married to producer and producer Brad Falchuk in September, Paltrow again raised the need for a review of the menopausal picture.

"I think menopause really has a bad name and needs a bit of branding," she said. "I remember the days when my mother (actress Blythe Danner) was postmenopausal and it was so serious, I think there was grief around her." and all these emotions, and I do not think our company excellent example of an ambitious menopausal woman ".

She developed her routine in an "Ask GP" on her website.

"I've changed my approach to fitness, for example to increase the load to increase bone density, and I continue to eat as healthily as possible – whole foods, lots of greens, clean protein sources – especially at lunch, "she says, adding: (Everyone needs free time in the evening.)

"Even though I was not too focused on my hormones in my thirties," she continued, "I now do a panel every six months to make sure everything is aligned."
