Peri-2-Post Roadmap

This is a general Peri-2-Post Roadmap.

Menopause affects every woman who reaches middle age.

And. yet, everyone has a unique experience.

For example, this transition can last anywhere from 2 to 14 years (if we are fortunate enough not to have it medically induced). Perimenopause generally starts in our 40s, but it could begin as early as our 30s.  Furthermore, symptoms vary dramatically. There are the “typical” hot flashes, weight gain, fatigue, and vaginal dryness, but others experience extreme brain fog, tachycardia (rapid heartbeats), recurring bladder infections, muscle pain, and more.

Why are there so many differences?

Our genetics, life history, and lifestyle all influence when and how we experience perimenopausal symptoms.

And, just as our experiences are unique, so are the solutions that work best for each of us.

This is clearly an N=1 experience. But this does not mean we need to do it alone or be overwhelmed.

My goal here is to delve into science, the biochemistry of what and why the symptoms appear, as well as natural remedies and lifestyle hacks that have been proven to work. AND YES, I will also share the latest research on Bioidentical Hormones and some meds. The goal is to provide a genuine understanding of how our bodies work, what the symptoms are telling us, and how to best support our body, mind, and spirit, so that we can live optimally during this transition and beyond.
