Chrissy Teigen has asked followers for their advice on perimenopause and menopause.
Chrissy Teigen’s skin has started “changing” since she turned 40.
The Lip Sync Battle star – who has children Luna, 10 , Miles, seven, Esti, three, and Wren, two, with husband John Legend – celebrated her milestone birthday last November and has shared the contradictions entering a new decade has brought to her body.
Sharing a photo showing off her new bobbed hair cut, she wrote on Instagram: “I love 40 but I hate sweating the bed.
“But I love pockets and my new hair. But I’m so tired. But I love feeling things again. But I’m so tired. My skin is changing. My period is back.
“I feel like a crazy person but I love 40 I really do!!! Help.(sic)”
In the comments of her post, Chrissy urged her followers to share their tips and advice for going through perimenopause and menopause.
She wrote: “Are there any things you learned through perimenopause and menopause that you wish you knew earlier? Please let me know!! (sic)”
Real Housewives of Orange County Star Heather Dubrow was among those to reply.
She wrote: “Take everything offered to you and ask everyone what they’re taking!
“Also, you need to constantly monitor and adjust what you take because your body changes constantly. Wait, was that helpful or confusing?”
Chrissy replied: “Helpful!”
Last year, Chrissy received she turned to weight-loss medication after her body got “stuck” when she lost her son Jack during the second trimester of her pregnancy in 2020.
Speaking on her Self-Conscious podcast, she said: “I had two babies and then I lost a baby a little over 20 weeks. My body was just completely stuck. It was like in shock, almost.
“My body was completely stuck. I really let myself indulge when I was pregnant. So, when I had lost that baby at 20 weeks, I had probably gained an extra 40 pounds that I wasn’t comfortable with.”
Chrissy took some time to see results with the drug.
She said: “I remember way before people were even talking Ozempic, before it was like a celebrity thing or talked about. I had tried it for maybe, like a year or so, and noticed no results for three, four months. Zero. Not a pound lost. And then all of a sudden, was finally able to lose the weight that was so reminding me of the baby that I had lost.”
And she found shedding the pounds helped her mental health.
She marvelled: “I felt mentally better because I wasn’t constantly, like, in this deep depression of seeing this pregnant belly with no baby in it.
“I also felt released from the prison of thinking about food in bad ways. Good food in bad ways.
“It’s insane what it did for not only me physically, but mentally.”
