Shania Twain has had a phenomenal career, and even though her fame skyrocketed at 32 with her third album, Come On Over, that doesn't mean she wants to be that age anymore.
"I'm not trying to be 30, I'm not trying to be 25," Twain told People matter-of-factly. "And I won't be ever again."
The country singer has been honest about the fact that when she first entered menopause, she didn't understand the changes her body was going through. In 2019, she had to be carried off stage after tearing two muscles, which she later realized was partly due to menopause.
"I wasn’t drinking enough water, I was not eating enough protein, and I was really going through a raging period of menopause," she explained. "I was just getting this bloat that I didn’t understand."
Due to a decline in estrogen, the risk of tearing muscles and tendons increases with menopause. According to UCLA Health, muscle mass and strength also drop, so it's recommended that women strength-train and make sure they're getting enough protein to counteract it.
Adapting and Thriving at 60
After struggling with the changes her body was going through, Twain, 60, is now more gentle with her body, enjoying "every day for what it is."
"I’m just learning every phase that I go through, and I adapt," she said. "I can’t play tennis like a maniac the way I used to in my 30s because I’m going to break my body. My wrist started to go because I planted so many trees in my youth, and I’ve got this big carpal lump. The first thing to go for me in tennis was my backhand. So I’m like, 'It’s time to take on the double-handed backhand.' And it’s more wicked than my one-handed backhand!"
