In this video, we meet Isabelle and her wife Margarita, who have been together for nearly 32 years in a personal and professional relationship. Isabelle experienced perimenopause at the early age of 32, which initially surprised both her and her doctors. Despite her young age, Isabelle faced symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and anxiety. By the time she reached 44, Isabelle had entered menopause.
Isabelle realized that her body naturally produced hormones and needed them to continue functioning properly. Refusing to accept a life overshadowed by anxiety, she embarked on hormone therapy, a decision that proved to be life-changing.
Margarita, on the other hand, started experiencing symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings in her mid-40s. She decided to undergo an ablation procedure after having her period every day for a year, which successfully put an end to her excessive bleeding.
This heartwarming story sheds light on the journey of two women who love each other and are navigating the challenges of menopause together as a team. They speak candidly about their sex life and the positive impact humor and laughter have on diffusing pointless arguments.
As women continue to live longer, it's essential to maintain hormone levels for both mental and physical well-being, says Isabelle. By doing so, you can have more adventures and enjoy life to the fullest as you grow older.
