You Don't Have to Suffer Just Because It's Normal.
Perimenopause and menopause are normal phases of every woman's life. But that doesn't mean you have to accept the suffering that comes with it.
What is perimenopause?
Perimenopause is defined as the stage of life when a woman’s reproductive cycle starts to slow down and estrogren production starts to decrease. As estrogen fluctuates, so will progesterone and testosterone production. You may experience a rollercoaster of hormone fluctuations during perimenopause.
The decline in hormones leading to perimenopause typically starts in a woman’s 30s. This phase can last up to 10 years or longer.
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Unusual weight gain
- Inconsistent periods (timing or flow)
- Mood swings (yes, rage at a stoplight is a real thing)
- Low libido
- Insomnia
- And many more
If you are experiencing shifts in your physical, mental, or emotional well-being and you are nearing or are in your 40s, it’s a good idea to consult with a women’s healthcare professional who understands the changes your body is experiencing and can help you navigate your way through it.
