Master your Hormones & Maximise your Health in Perimenopause, Menopause & Beyond

EMBRACE YOUR PERIMENOPAUSE TRANSFORMATION WITH CONFIDENCE

Most women have been told very little about what to expect in Perimenopause, Menopause, and Beyond.

It is really no wonder that I see so many women, in their late 30s, 40s, and 50s who are confused by the changes happening to their bodies. Until very recently, you may not have heard the term Perimenopause, despite struggling with one or many of its 34+ possible signs and symptoms such as mood changes, anxiety, insomnia, and unexplained weight gain.

You may have thought… “I’m too young to be in Menopause!”, or “I’m still having periods so it can’t be Menopause!” Well, Perimenopause and Menopause are NOT the same thing, although they are often lumped under the same umbrella, incorrectly.

Perimenopause is the 2-10 years BEFORE Menopause. Menopause is really a one-day event, marked by 12 consecutive months without a period. After that, you are considered Post- Menopausal (from a hormonal/ reproductive perspective).

The hormonal shifts happening behind the scenes will be different at different stages throughout the Perimenopausal Transition to Menopause and can contribute to a vast array of physical and emotional symptoms. It can be a challenging time and it can impact your health, happiness, and confidence during one of the most demanding times of your life - Midlife.

But…It does NOT have to be this way for you!

With the right guidance, strategies, and support you can EMBRACE Perimenopause, Menopause, and, The Second Half of Your Life with THRIVING Health, Renewed Confidence, and Longevity.

Perimenopause Involves a Recalibration of your Body and Your Brain

Think of Perimenopause as a Second Puberty in reverse, as your ovaries wind down and you adjust to a new, much lower level of ovarian hormones in Menopause (defined as 12 consecutive months without a period), and beyond.

·Every woman’s experience of the Perimenopausal Transition to Menopause is unique however, the potential impact of fluctuating and declining levels of Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone can affect your whole body and mind. It can also influence the intricate balance of other hormones in your body including Thyroid hormones, Cortisol, and Insulin.
