Twinkle Khanna's Candid Revelations on Menopause and Wellness Journey
Actor turned author Twinkle Khanna, who is married to Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, has always been recognized for her candid and honest nature. She frequently shares her perspectives on various topics, particularly those concerning women's experiences and challenges.
A Personal Reflection on Health and Menopause
In a recent heartfelt Instagram post, Twinkle opened up about her evolving relationship with health and wellness. She shared a series of pictures from her home along with a deeply personal note, reflecting on her experience with menopause and how Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), combined with significant lifestyle adjustments, has helped her gain a better understanding of her body and overall well-being.
Twinkle wrote, "At 52 and make-up free, I’d love to say that all you need is some great afternoon sun to feel and look good. But menopause is not that generous. I once joked that menopause is a bigger b*h than I have ever been. For a long stretch, it made me feel like I was a phone with a faulty charger."
She elaborated on her current state, stating, "I feel better now, not because I ‘accepted my age gracefully’ (whatever that means), but thanks to regular weight training, a small pharmacy’s worth of supplements, the joy and purpose I find in books (reading and writing) and because after 50 I’ve finally embraced my shallow side and play mahjong regularly with my girlfriends."
Detailed Approach to Managing Menopause
Sharing further details, Twinkle spoke about her current approach to managing menopause while urging her followers to make informed decisions. She emphasized the importance of personalized health strategies, saying, "While I continue to mull over the pros and cons of HRT, here’s what I’m currently taking to survive this transition. Please do your research and check with your doctor. What works for me may not work for you."
She listed her current lineup of supplements, which includes:
- Coenzyme Q10
- NAD
- Omega-3
- Lion’s Mane
- Health & Hers Menopause Support
- Iron
- Vitamin D3 + K2
- Collagen
- Magnesium Glycinate
Twinkle concluded this part by engaging her audience, asking, "Have you tried any of these? What helped the most or what did absolutely nothing?"
Celebrating 25 Years of Marriage with Akshay Kumar
Earlier, Twinkle and Akshay Kumar marked a significant milestone by celebrating 25 years of marriage. They shared what they value most about their relationship, highlighting that mutual encouragement has always been at the heart of their bond.
To illustrate this, Twinkle posted a video of the couple paragliding together. In the clip, Akshay can be heard asking her, "are you sure you want to jump?" to which she confidently nodded and replied, "It’s all because of you, you make me do this." When it was Akshay’s turn, Twinkle asked him, "Are you nervous?"
Responding with a laugh, the 'Housefull' actor said, "I now have pressure because my wife has finished doing it."
Summing up the moment, Twinkle captioned the post, "The best part of our marriage? We always encourage each other to fly. Sometimes literally, like today! Here’s to 25 years of love, support and jumping off mountains @akshaykumar."
This candid sharing not only sheds light on Twinkle Khanna's personal health journey but also celebrates the enduring strength of her marriage, offering inspiration and relatable insights to her followers.
