There’s a scene in the second Sex and the City movie where Carrie and Samantha are on the back of a camel in the Arabian Desert. It gets me laughing every time. I’m not sure why, as I’m quite a while away from menopause, but I still find it hilarious.

And yes, the jokes go on and on about that warm little glow that signals the end of your baby-making years, but in all reality, it’s not that fun for some people.

It’s a time when the body goes through massive changes. For women, menopause means the reduction of estrogen and progesterone. This decline in hormones can bring on hot flashes, mood changes, depression and anxiety. No wonder it is called “the change of life”.

Don’t worry, though, ladies. You’re not the only ones who are going to suffer a bit. Men get a “pause” too – known as andropause. This is when the male hormone, testosterone, begins to gradually decline (and men can get it a good 15 years before us!). It can lead to loss of muscle mass, loss of libido and erectile dysfunction.

It’s not ideal for us to feel the effects of the body going through such massive changes, but it’s a part of the circle of life, and we cannot do anything to stop it. We can alleviate the symptoms, however, and that can make those hot flashes a little less bad – in fact, Health Renewal will make it a breeze.
