💥 Your brain doesn't seem to operate as quickly, it takes you longer to think of things, and you can’t stay focused
💥 Your sleep is shitty, you can’t fall asleep, or you wake up constantly throughout the night
💥 You are always exhausted, no matter how much sleep you get
💥 You feel like you can’t do anything well, or as though you are struggling with everything from parenting, to being a good partner, to work, and more
💥 Your libido is long gone, and vagina is getting dryer by the day
💥 Your clothes fit differently especially around the waist, and you can’t seem to lose weight no matter what you try
💥 Your tolerance for alcohol has plummeted and leads to headaches or night sweats no matter how little you drink
💥 Your period are all over the place, no longer predictable, scant, or heavier than they ever used to be
💥 Your anxiety is through the roof and even the littlest things can completely set you on edge
Perimenopause is the TRANSITION between your fertile years and menopause. And menopause is marked by 365 days without a bleed - meaning that perimenopause can last anywhere from 1-12 years leading up to that point in time.
As you can imagine, that means supporting you in this transition might look drastically different from person to person and even for you depending on where you are in the transition.
There is no single test to verify if you are in this transition or how close you are to menopause. So because of that we rely heavily on age and symptoms. If you are a woman between the ages of 35 and 50 and struggling with some of these symptoms it’s very likely that you are in perimenopause.
And, you have to remember, this is a natural transition. Our goal isn't to prevent it, it’s simply to help you feel your best THROUGH the transition and not have to walk it alone. We don't ever use a one size fits all approach but especially for our women in perimenopause. Sure, there are universal themes, tools and resources, but knowing what is going on with YOUR body and where you are in that transition is a HUGE part of our approach.
