There's No One Size
Fits All Approach
Your experience will be unique, just like you. Some days might feel like a rollercoaster of hot flashes and fog-brain, while others may be filled with newfound wisdom and strength. That’s the beauty (and sometimes chaos) of this transition.
Perimenopause – the prelude to Menopause, often starts in your 40s. But here’s the scoop– it’s not a strict rule. Think of it as Mother Nature giving you a heads-up, a gentle nudge signalling the next chapter.
Hormones like estrogen and progesterone are like the conductors of your body band. As they mix things up during Perimenopause, they bring the drama – the good and the not-so-good.
Estrogen
The diva of the show, estrogen influences everything from your mood to your bone density. In Perimenopause, it starts taking impromptu breaks, leading to those unpredictable period changes and mood swings. Eventually, it retires from the limelight, causing hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and even cognitive changes.
Progesterone
The supportive best friend, progesterone balances estrogen's effects. But during this transition, it can also become erratic, contributing to anxiety, sleep disturbances, and even breast tenderness.
