Not sure where to start?
Think you might be in perimenopause?
You don’t have to know exactly what’s happening before you start learning about it.
Start with the signsWhat are you dealing with right now?
Sleep
Sleep changes are one of the most frustrating parts of perimenopause.
- Why am I waking at 3am?
- Why can’t I stay asleep?
- Why am I waking hot or cold?
- Why am I still tired after a full night?
Weight & cravings
Why does food suddenly seem to work differently?
- Why am I gaining belly weight?
- Why won’t the cravings quit?
- Why am I hungry all the time?
- Why isn’t the old diet working?
Brain & energy
Tiredness and fog that a full night of sleep does not fully explain.
- Why is my brain foggy?
- Why do I crash in the afternoon?
- Why am I exhausted all the time?
- Why can’t I concentrate?
Mood
Mood can shift in ways that do not match the day you are having.
- Why am I so irritable?
- Why do I get anxious at 3am?
- Why do I feel overwhelmed so easily?
- Why do I feel unlike myself?
Periods & hormones
Periods can change without a neat explanation.
- Why are my periods irregular?
- Why did my cycle get shorter, longer, or skip?
- Why is my PMS suddenly worse?
- Why does the week before my period flatten me?
Digestion
Food that used to sit fine can suddenly not.
- Why am I so bloated?
- Why am I constipated or getting indigestion?
- Why do healthy meals make me feel worse?
- Why is my digestion suddenly so off?
Body changes
Skin, joints, and how exercise feels can all shift in this stage.
- Why do my joints ache more?
- Why does exercise suddenly leave me exhausted?
- Why is my skin and hair changing?
- Why does my body feel unfamiliar?
Sexual & vaginal health
Comfort and desire can change. That is common, and it is worth naming.
