Perimenopause can be a challenging time as your body develops new symptoms that you’ve never had to deal with before, like hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, depression, muscle aches and pains, and fatigue. Unfortunately, the list could go on and on.

There are 100 symptoms that perimenopause can introduce in your life, ranging from mild to debilitating. But, the good news is that it’s not all doom and gloom. There are so many things you can do to start feeling better, and I’m here to guide you.

Join me to understand why these changes are happening and what you can expect. Anyone born with ovaries will go through perimenopause and menopause at some point. By arming yourself with knowledge, you can make better health decisions and give your body the care it needs during this major hormonal transition.

Don’t Let Perimenopause Get the Best of You

Put yourself first! Did that make you cringe? If so, that’s a flag that you may have some work to do in the self-care area. It used to make me cringe too. For now, take the time to educate yourself, and know that I’m right here with you to help guide you. You’re not alone.

But it’s your choice; you're an adult. You can continue doing what you’ve always done and get the same results or worse, or you can use this time to thrive and set yourself up for a successful rest of your life. What you do in your 40s and 50s matters for when you get to your 60s and beyond. It’s never too late to make positive changes.
