The Perimenopause Survival Guide

A robust roadmap to surviving—and thriving in—perimenopause.

Perimenopause— the period of time during which a woman moves toward, but is not yet in, menopause— can be one of the biggest transitions of a women’s adult life, marked by massive hormonal changes. Troubled by symptoms like hot flashes, back pain, anxiety, brain fog—just to name a few—and without any clear guidance from their health care providers about the changes happening in their bodies, many women between the ages of 35 and 50 are left to navigate this overwhelming season of life on their own. But it doesn’t have to be this way. 

   The Perimenopause Survival Guide is the ultimate resource for understanding the hormonal shifts happening within your body so you can make informed decisions about how best to address your symptoms.

The Perimenopause Survival Guide will set you up for an easier menopause journey so you can take back your health and feel like yourself again.
