How Did Twinkle Khanna Navigate Menopause with HRT?
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Mumbai, Jan 25 (NationPress) Author Twinkle Khanna, who is married to Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, is sharing insights into her wellness and health journey.
On Sunday, she posted several images from her home on Instagram. In her lengthy caption, she discussed how she has managed menopause and gained a clearer understanding of her health and wellness thanks to Hormone Replacement Therapy.
She expressed, “At 52 and without makeup, I wish I could say that all it takes is a little afternoon sunlight to feel and appear well. However, menopause isn’t that kind. I once humorously mentioned that menopause is tougher than I have ever been. For quite some time, it felt like I was a phone with a malfunctioning charger. I am feeling better now, not merely because I ‘accepted my age gracefully’ (whatever that phrase means), but due to consistent weight training, a small pharmacy’s worth of supplements, the joy and purpose I derive from books (both reading and writing), and because after turning 50, I’ve finally embraced my fun side by regularly playing mahjong with my friends.”
“As I continue to contemplate the advantages and disadvantages of HRT, here is what I’m currently using to get through this transition. Please do your own research and consult your doctor. What is effective for me may not work for you. My current regimen includes Coenzyme Q10, NAD, Omega-3, Lion’s Mane, Health & Hers Menopause Support, Iron, Vitamin D3 + K2, Collagen, and Magnesium Glycinate. Have you tried any of these? What worked best for you or what was completely ineffective?”, she concluded.
Previously, Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. In a heartfelt tribute, she shared that the most wonderful aspect of their marriage is that they always motivate each other to explore new experiences.
To illustrate, she shared a video of herself and Akshay paragliding. In the footage, we hear Akshay asking her, “Are you certain you want to jump?”, to which Twinkle simply nodded. “It’s all because of you, you inspire me to do this,” she remarked. When it was Akshay's turn, Twinkle also asked him, “Are you feeling nervous?”.
To which the ‘Housefull’ star responded, “Now I feel the pressure because my wife has already done it.”
“The most wonderful part of our marriage? We consistently motivate each other to soar. Sometimes literally, like today! Here’s to 25 years of love, support, and taking leaps off mountains @akshaykumar,” Twinkle captioned the video.
