Menopause doesn’t happen overnight – it’s the culmination of a transitional period called perimenopause that can last 4-10 years. During this time, your ovarian hormones begin their gradual decline, creating unpredictable fluctuations that explain the wide range of symptoms women experience.

Perimenopause & Menopause clarifies what’s actually happening in your body. We explain how estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate wildly during perimenopause before eventually declining permanently at menopause, why this creates symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, irregular periods, mood changes, brain fog, sleep disruption, and vaginal dryness.

Learn the difference between perimenopause (the transition) and menopause (12 months without a period), what the average age ranges are, why some women barely notice while others struggle significantly, what factors influence symptom severity, and what your options are – from lifestyle modifications to hormone replacement therapy.

This transition affects every system in your body. Understanding the hormonal mechanisms behind your symptoms empowers you to make informed decisions and advocate effectively for your health.

Perimenopause and menopause are natural – but you don’t have to suffer in silence.
