From the glossary

Postpartum Nutrition Nutritional priorities in the weeks and months after childbirth — supporting physical recovery, protecting iron and micronutrient stores, and sustaining energy for new parenthood. Menopause The natural end of menstrual cycles, confirmed after 12 consecutive months without a period, typically between ages 45–55 — with significant nutritional and metabolic implications. Perimenopause The transitional years leading up to menopause, typically lasting 4–10 years, marked by fluctuating hormones, irregular periods, and highly variable symptoms.
