At Satori Wellness NP in Las Cruces, NM, we empower women across New Mexico to take control of their aging journey and maintain a high quality of life at every stage.

Understanding the Stages of Aging for Women

In Your 20s: Embrace Your Peak Health and Build Lasting Habits

Your 20s are a time of peak physical health, with estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone at their highest levels. As you approach 30, these levels begin to decline. This is the ideal time to establish healthy habits that will benefit you in the long run, such as adopting a consistent skincare routine, including daily sunscreen application.

In Your 30s: Navigate Early Signs of Aging and Stay Active

During your 30s, you might start noticing the first signs of aging, like gray hairs or fine lines around the eyes. A slowing metabolism can make weight management more challenging, and fertility gradually decreases as hormone production slows. Despite the busy demands of life, it’s essential to prioritize regular exercise to maintain muscle mass, bone density, and overall health.

In Your 40s: Transitioning Through Perimenopause

Your 40s often bring the onset of perimenopause, a transitional phase where menstrual irregularities may occur, and estrogen levels fluctuate. Symptoms like mood swings, reduced libido, and more significant weight gain can accompany this stage. Perimenopause can last several years, and once you’ve experienced 12 consecutive months without a period, you’ve officially reached menopause.

In Your 50s and Beyond: Managing Menopause and Hormonal Changes

In your 50s, menopause typically begins, bringing with it symptoms such as hot flashes, decreased energy, memory challenges, insomnia, and discomfort during sex. These symptoms are due to hormonal imbalances but can be managed through a healthy lifestyle and treatments like estrogen therapy. At Satori Wellness NP, we offer comprehensive support to help you navigate this stage with confidence and comfort.
