Are you experiencing weight gain, sleep disturbances, anxiety, brain fog or noticing new changes in your body? You are not alone! These aren’t just “signs of aging.” They’re often symptoms of perimenopause, the hormonal transition leading up to menopause.
Yet, most healthcare providers don’t discuss perimenopause or instead just tell you that your symptoms are caused by mental health issues. I’m here to tell you it’s not just all in your head.
As a board-certified physician specializing in women’s health and a certified menopause specialist, I’ve seen firsthand how underserved women are when it comes to understanding this critical life stage. It’s time to change the conversation and empower you with real answers.
Perimenopause can start as early as your late 30s and continue into your 50s. It’s a time of estrogen and progesterone fluctuations that can cause a wide range of physical and emotional symptoms that many traditional physicians dismiss or misattribute.
Too often, these symptoms are labeled as stress, depression or aging and women are sent off with an antidepressant or told to “wait it out,” when what they really need is perimenopause-informed care.
