The Perimenopause Chapter
Perimenopause generally starts in your 40s, lasting an average of 4-6 years. Hormonal fluctuations, particularly in estrogen and progesterone, drive a range of emotional and physical symptoms affecting mood, menstrual cycles, and metabolism.
Emotional and Cognitive Changes
Expect mood swings, heightened anxiety, and brain fog due to neurotransmitter activity changes influenced by hormone levels.
Physical Symptoms
Progesterone changes can lead to insomnia and fatigue, while reduced estrogen contributes to weight gain and skin issues like vaginal dryness.
Substance Sensitivity
Increased sensitivity to alcohol and caffeine is common as hormonal shifts impact liver metabolism.
Body Temperature
Hot flashes and night sweats result from hormonal imbalances affecting thermal regulation.
Menstrual Changes
Erratic menstrual cycles occur as LH and FSH hormones try to stimulate declining ovarian function.
Into Menopause and Beyond
Entering menopause, your ovaries “retire,” introducing a new set of challenges like hot flashes and cognitive changes.

Thyroid Health
Ever heard your doctor say your blood work is fine, yet you’re still fatigued? You’re not alone; many health professionals still have gaps in understanding thyroid issues.
The Warning Signs:
Is your hair becoming dry and thin? Do you feel mentally foggy or perpetually exhausted, regardless of rest? Struggling with a lack of motivation for activities you once enjoyed? These symptoms could indicate a thyroid imbalance.
Many, especially women, face similar symptoms and are often dismissed by healthcare professionals lacking expertise in accurately testing for thyroid conditions, including sub-clinical issues. Have you had your thyroid tested? A sub-clinical hypothyroid condition could be the missing link that explains your symptoms, especially if your lifestyle has pushed your body to its limits.
Isn’t it time for a thorough health review to see if a malfunctioning thyroid is impacting your life? With expertise in diet, nutrition, lifestyle, and herbal therapies, I can help you rebalance and rejuvenate your thyroid function.
