Well, ladies
Everybody talks about hot flashes. Nobody talks about bones.
I read something last month that stopped me cold. Bone loss does not wait for menopause. It speeds up during perimenopause. While you are still menstruating. Nobody is talking about this.
Forty-seven. Still menstruating. Still assuming my skeleton was holding steady. Nobody told me to check.
Your spine can lose a couple percent a year in this window. That does not sound like much. Then you count the years.
One in four perimenopausal women lose bone fast. Not a little. A lot. I do not know which group I am in.
Estrogen protects bone. It keeps the cells that break it down in check. When estrogen drops, those cells speed up. Perimenopause is when the drop starts.
Not just bone, either. Tendons stiffen. Joints change. The whole frame shifts in the same window.
So I looked into what I could do. Expected a gym plan. Something with a schedule.
Sonia texted me a link about it. At midnight, naturally.
Boost Your Memory By 75% Just By Stopping This Kitchen Mistake
If you find yourself dealing with embarrassing memory lapses…
The kind that makes you forget simple things like where you left your keys…
And even more important things like names, faces and dates…
Top memory researchers from the University of New Mexico recommend you immediately stop doing THIS one everyday kitchen habit.
This one small change can strengthen your memory, sharpen your focus…
And help you feel like yourself again — starting today.
Over 47,000 people have already made this simple change.
Just like Helen K. from Denver: "I thought memory loss was just aging. Turns out I was wrong — and so was my doctor."
If you want to boost your memory and feel sharp again, you need to see this now:
Heel drops. Stand at a counter or a desk. Rise on your toes. Drop your heels to the floor. Firm, not gentle. Ten a day. Thirty seconds total.
The impact travels through your heel into the bone. Bone responds to that force. It holds on to more density than it would otherwise.
This is not a rebuild. It is maintenance. Slowing the loss, not reversing it.
Fine with that. Rather slow it now than chase it at sixty.
Two weeks of this so far. My calves noticed first. Then my ankles. Something in the landing feels solid, like the floor is meeting me halfway.
Ten drops while coffee brews. Done before the blazer goes on. ✅ Same counter every morning.
If this worries you, ask about a DEXA scan. Ten minutes. Tells you where things stand.
My counter is not a gym. But my bones do not know that.
