Peri-Menopause

Peri-menopause can begin as early as your late 30s or early 40s and continues until menopause. During this time, your levels of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone begin to decline — often in an unpredictable, up-and-down pattern. This hormonal shift can create a cascade of imbalances that trigger a wide range of symptoms, including:

  • Irregular or painful periods

  • Hot flashes

  • Night sweats

  • Vaginal dryness

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Weight gain

  • Lower sex drive

  • Brain fog and fatigue

Understand the shifts of peri-menopause and menopause so you can stop guessing, start supporting your body, and feel more like you again.

Menopause 101: What’s Really Going On

Menopause

Once a woman has gone twelve consecutive months without having her period, often in her early 50’s, she reaches menopause. This phase lasts throughout the rest of a woman’s life. During this phase, the body slowly adjusts to the hormonal changes caused by menopause. However, the road to “adjusting” can be rough. Many long-term risks are also associated with menopause like:

  • Increased risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures

  • Increased risk of heart disease

  • Vaginal dryness and decreased libido

  • Urinary incontinence

  • Thinning hair and skin

  • Joint stiffness and pain

  • Decreased ability to regulate blood sugar and insulin resistance
