from My Perimenopause Journey · host Excel with Mariana.

In evolution, humans and octopuses are very distant relatives. However, we do share a connection that hasn't been fully explored. In octopuses, after their eggs hatch, the optic gland sends hormonal signals to shut down the system. Humans have something similar to an octopus's optic glands. Possibly, those signals also influence how we transition through perimenopause and explain why life suddenly becomes so challenging.
