Perimenopause is the transition before menopause, often starting in your 40s (or earlier). It can bring subtle and sometimes confusing symptoms.
Common Symptoms
- Irregular periods or heavier/lighter bleeding
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability
- Difficulty sleeping or staying asleep
- Brain fog or forgetfulness
What You Can Do
- Keep a symptom diary to track patterns
- Support hormonal balance with sleep, exercise, and nutrition
- Use natural tools like acupressure and breathwork to manage anxiety and sleep disturbances
- Speak with a healthcare provider for individual guidance
Perimenopause is a phase of change, not decline. Awareness is power.
