Naomi Watts thinks it's time to talk about early menopause.
ignited after she started developing symptoms of perimenopause at the age of 36. With the exception of a helpful makeup artist, Watts found herself struggling to navigate these new and uncomfortable changes, along with a whole host of unfamiliar symptoms that no one seemed to talk about. She didn't fully realize what was happening to her body until she and her then-partner, Liev Schreiber, went to get a blood panel done in an effort to conceive a child.
"I knew that there are changes to the body around the age of 35, but I didn't know that it was a really late time to start thinking about getting pregnant," Watts explained. With the help of her doctor, she did eventually get pregnant, giving birth to her now 15-year-old, Sasha, and soon after, she got pregnant a second time, but this made her perimenopause symptoms intensify.
Growing increasingly frustrated with the lack of discussion surrounding this very real and natural experience she was facing, Watts finally decided to take matters into her own hands, partnering with biotech company Amyris to create 11 products that use an emollient called ectoine to address all kinds of perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms."We included hair and body stuff, and then the vaginal products because that's also an area that suffers," Watts said.
"We're now realizing what our mothers and grandmothers went through in silence, alone. And we're saying we're not going to remain silent through our suffering."about her experience with menopause and its surrounding stigma, saying that when it officially started, it"felt like a head-on collision with a Mack truck.
No one really knew how to talk about something as taboo as menopause, Watts said."My mentors and mum didn't seem up for discussing it, I didn't know how to ask for help and they didn't know how to provide.... even doctors had little to say," she wrote."It's oddly like an unwritten code of silence: women should suck it up and cope, because that's how generations [past] have done it.
