As I’m sure you’ve heard, the planet Earth has a real situation on its hands. The ice is melting; the waters are rising. Vast spirals of plastic waste are whirling through the seas: dervishes of water bottles, milk cartons, grocery bags, takeout containers. Oh, and shampoo bottles, lipstick tubes, shadow palettes, powder compacts, lotion pumps, and my God, so many razors, and jars that once held cushiony creams infused with high-potency vitamin C and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid. The det…

Gabrielle Union and I are talking about our periods — specifically, what happens to them in perimenopause. “They’re coming every two or three weeks,” I say. “No one warns you this is going to happen.” “And no one tells you what’s going to come out,” she says. “Like golf balls.” Sh…

Most women experience menopause — defined as 12 months without a period — between 40 and 58, with the average age of onset at 51. Perimenopause, the transition to menopause, lasts for up to 10 years before that. But middle-aged women aren’t the only ones contending with the hot flashes and mood swings and skin changes that often come with fluctuating estrogen levels.
