Perimenopause Primer

Perimenopause is the time in our lives when we notice many changes happening within our minds and bodies. Many women first notice changes in their mid 40's; others notice as early as their late 30's. There is no gaslighting here- there is a REASON you feel the way you do. Your hormonal levels are changing and vacillating. Think of the normal menstrual cycle having two bell shaped curves which sit adjacent but interconnect. Now think of two curves that look like roller coasters on top of each other! This is what your body is reacting to in perimenopause. These changes are normal but can be mitigated for the better or for the worse depending on our lifestyle, diet, and stress levels. It's important you know this is real and you feel the way you do because of how your body is changing! I look forward to discussing your experience! Angie

“With peaks of joy and valleys of heartache, life is a roller coaster ride, the rise and fall of which defines our journey. It is both scary and exciting at the same time.”
