Join the Polite education team in collaboration with the Cannabis Business Alliance, as we continue our series on women's health with Part 2 on Menopause.

Menopause is a natural part of aging that for many, develops gradually between the ages of 45 to 55. Technically, it occurs as the ovaries stop producing eggs and the production of estrogen and progesterone declines but can also occur if ovaries are damaged by certain diseases, cancer treatments, or are surgically removed.

The transition from regular to irregular periods, and then stopping permanently is called perimenopause, and can begin for some as early as in their mid-30's. During this time, mild to severe symptoms may start to be felt, with hot flashes being the most common, but also including chills, decreased libido, fatigue, mood changes, vaginal dryness, and poor sleep. As more people gain access to cannabis and hemp products, there is little research or medical guidance on how to best utilize them for menopause support which is why it is so important to provide credible knowledge on this topic.

Our guests will be sharing their expert and personal experiences on effective ways that cannabinoids have been used to manage menopause symptoms, and shed light on how to best prepare your mind and body to embrace the changes that come with this important stage of life.
