Most women wait too long for hormone support

At the first sign of changes in the cycle, it is time to begin thinking about some hormone support. Most symptoms won’t become a big deal until a year or two into the change and problems have already arisen. As a rule, the longer you wait, the harder it will be to manage the symptoms.

Since the average age for beginning menopause is 51 in the US, ideally a person would begin with some mild hormone support in your late 40s. Your mileage may vary.
