Clarity, Support, and Empowerment Through Change
The menopause transition is a major milestone in a woman’s life, often beginning long before the final period. While the average age of menopause is 51, perimenopause can begin up to 10 years earlier. During this time, shifting hormone levels can affect mood, sleep, energy, menstrual cycles, and many other aspects of health and well-being.
This stage can be confusing and, at times, overwhelming. Understanding this transition can help you feel more in control of your health.
Changing Hormones
Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause. As estrogen and progesterone begin to fluctuate, cycles may change — becoming shorter, longer, heavier, lighter, or more unpredictable. This hormonal variability can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including:
Irregular/changing menstrual cycles
Hot flashes and night sweats
Mood changes or increased irritability
Fatigue and sleep disturbances
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
Vaginal dryness or discomfort
New or intensified PMS symptoms
Menopause is defined as 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. Menopause is a natural life transition, not a disease, but it can influence many aspects of health — including bone health, cardiovascular and metabolic health, cognition, sexual well-being, and mood.
Each of these areas deserves thoughtful attention and care as you move into the next phase of your life.
