1. “You are not in menopause officially until you have had your last period. And how do you know when you've had your last period? Well, you know you're in menopause when you've gone 12 full months and you've not had another period. Then it's official. You are menopausal. But what's confusing for women is that in between state, because it can start as early as your mid-30s and it can go on until you've had your last period. And that can go on from anywhere from four to ten years for women. And that's where I think a lot of the confusion comes in. Because if you're having your period and having hot flashes, well, then you go to your doctor or you're having sleeplessness or mood disturbances and you go to your doctor and the first question they ask you is, well,”

2. “Read the book yet. I would love to. The first stage that we're all familiar with is your pre-menopausal phase, and that really starts at puberty, and that encompasses your reproductive life, the peak reproductive years, which start somewhere at 12, 13, and it goes to women when they're early 30s. That's pre-menopause. So when we're talking about that, that's the concern. Then when you become perimenopausal, that is that amorphous phase between being your peak reproductive years and the end of your reproductive years and the end of reproduction really starts at menopause. So there's this great space in between the perimenopausal years where you start to have some of the symptoms of menopause, but you're still having your periods, sometimes regularly, sometimes not. But all of the things that we normally associate.”

3. “And there's another 6,000 women every day going into menopause. And so the backfill is constant because there are people that just haven't had this conversation, not with their doctors, not with their mothers, and not even with their friends.”
