Understanding Menopause – Symptoms, Support & Personalized Guidance
Menopause is not a single moment — it's a process, a shift, and for many, a mystery.
Whether you're in your 30s, 40s, or beyond, symptoms can show up in ways that feel confusing, unexpected, or overwhelming.
At Nuteil, we help you decode your body, your hormones, and your symptoms through science-backed guidance and personalized insights.
What Is Menopause, Really?
The Three Stages of Menopause
Perimenopause is the transition phase that can begin up to 10 years before your periods stop. This is when you might first notice changes in your body and experience early symptoms.
Menopause is officially reached when you haven't had a period for 12 consecutive months. This typically occurs between ages 45-55.
Postmenopause begins after menopause and continues for the rest of your life. While some symptoms may ease, this stage brings its own set of changes and considerations.
It's More Than Just Estrogen
While estrogen decline is a key part of menopause, it's actually a whole-body transformation. Your body is adjusting to new hormone levels, which can affect everything from your brain to your bones, your mood to your metabolism.
This is why symptoms can be so varied and sometimes surprising. Understanding these changes is the first step toward managing them effectively.

The primary female hormone affecting your brain, bones, and heart. Its decline triggers many menopause symptoms.
Progesterone
Works with estrogen to regulate your cycle. Its decrease can affect sleep quality and emotional balance.
FSH & LH
These pituitary hormones increase as your ovaries produce less estrogen, signaling the transition to menopause.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about menopause? You're not alone.
How do I know if I'm in menopause?
Menopause is officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period. However, symptoms can begin years before during perimenopause. Common signs include irregular periods, hot flashes, and sleep changes.
Can menopause start in your 30s?
Yes, while most women experience menopause between 45-55, early menopause can occur in your 30s or even earlier. This is called premature menopause and affects about 1% of women under 40.
Do natural supplements really work?
Some natural supplements can help manage specific symptoms, but their effectiveness varies. Research shows that certain supplements like black cohosh, red clover, and magnesium may provide relief for some women.
What's the difference between perimenopause and menopause?
Perimenopause is the transition period leading up to menopause, which can last 4-8 years. Menopause is the point when you've gone 12 months without a period. Postmenopause follows menopause.
