Perimenopause is a hormonal transition that often starts in your 40s (sometimes late 30s) and can last several years. It’s not menopause — it’s the lead-up — and it comes with real, noticeable changes.
If you’ve been feeling off, tired, moody, or just not yourself, you’re not alone — and you’re not imagining it.
What’s Happening in Your Body?
As estrogen and progesterone shift, you may notice:
- Irregular or heavier periods
- Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability
- Trouble sleeping
- Fatigue or brain fog
- Weight gain (especially around the belly)
- Changes in libido, digestion, or skin
These aren’t random — they’re signals from your body adjusting to new hormonal rhythms.
Natural Ways to Support Yourself
You don’t need to “power through.” You can work with your body using natural, supportive habits:

2. Eat Whole, Anti-Inflammatory Foods
- Leafy greens, berries, clean proteins, healthy fats
- Avoid ultra-processed foods
3. Lower Stress
- Prioritize sleep
- Practice breathwork or journaling
- Limit caffeine and overstimulation
4. Support Detox
- Hydrate well

Supplement Support (With Guidance)
Some natural supplements can ease symptoms:

Talk to your provider before starting anything new.
