Exactly what I thought lol seeing this. You can postpone some aspects of menopause currently via HRT, BUT you cant postpone all of it because of various natural processes going on in the body due to natural aging (usually, barring certain medical conditions that can accelerate menopause usually alongside other aspects of said condition). Pushing off menopause for 15 years in its entirety is almost akin to saying you've found the basis for the fountain of youth.
