Fake out

One of the more interesting things I’ve learned is that even if you’re in full on menopause, you have a hormone shift each month that provides all of the excitement of having your period, without any actual evidence.

Wait, let me clarify- the evidence is on the scale. Just like when you have a regular cycle every month and you bloat, gain a few extra pounds, and need a few extra calories- you get all of those same things in menopause. I call it my fake period.

No woman has ever told me this information so now that I know- I’m passing it on to you. Thanks for filling me in Dr. G.
