Olympian Clara Hughes was used to pushing her body. But when menopause hit, her body pushed back

The speed skater and cyclist says her issues with self-image started as a teenager and endured throughout her sports career.

But it wasn’t until she entered menopause that she was finally able to begin building a healthy relationship with her body.

It also encouraged her to contend with her emotions, leading her to experiment with psychedelics and other drugs, she says.
