Twinkle Speaks About  Menopause Journey And Hormone Therapy

MUMBAI- Author Twinkle Khanna, who is also the wife of actor Akshay Kumar, is reflecting on her journey with wellness and health.

She shared a few pictures of herself from her house and penned a long note speaking about how she navigated menopause and has a better sense of her health and wellness owing to Hormone Replacement Therapy.

She wrote, “At 52 and make-up free, I’d love to say that all you need is some great afternoon sun to feel and look good. But menopause is not that generous. I once joked that menopause is a bigger bitch than I have ever been. For a long stretch, it made me feel like I was a phone with a faulty charger. I feel better now, not because I ‘accepted my age gracefully’ (whatever that means), but thanks to regular weight training, a small pharmacy’s worth of supplements, the joy and purpose I find in books (reading and writing) and because after 50, I’ve finally embraced my shallow side and play mahjong regularly with my girlfriends”.

“While I continue to mull over the pros and cons of HRT, here’s what I’m currently taking to survive this transition. Please do your research and check with your doctor. What works for me may not work for you.
