Could it be...Perimenopause?
Aren't I too young for perimenopause?!

Understanding Perimenopause: Symptoms & Solutions
Ok, Ladies...nobody wants to talk about it, but did you know that you could already be in perimenopause?! This transitional phase can occur 4-8 years before menopause, and may start as early as your mid-30’s! This is when hormone levels (estrogen and progesterone) begin to fluctuate, and can cause the following symptoms:
- Irregular Periods: Changes in cycle length or flow
- Hot Flashes & Night Sweats: Sudden feelings of heat or sweating, often disrupting sleep
- Mood Swings: Anxiety, depression, irritability, or general loss of interest
- Sleep Disturbances: Trouble falling/staying asleep (or trying to solve the world's problems at 3 AM!)
- Skin Changes: Dryness, thinning, or increased sensitivity (on the face or body)
- Decreased Metabolism: Slower metabolism can lead to weight gain
Conventional treatment options include hormone replacement therapy and prescriptive drugs to manage symptoms such as depression and anxiety, but if you were hoping for more natural treatment options, consider the following lifestyle adjustments:
- Diet: Focus on whole foods, reduce sugar, and boost calcium & vitamin D intake
- Exercise: Regular activity supports mood, weight, and bone health
- Stress Management: Yoga, meditation, or journaling can help
- Natural/Herbal Remedies: Consult a healthcare professional, as many herbal supplements can interfere with medications you may already be on
- Skincare Treatments: Target dryness or sensitivity with hydrating facials or chemical peels
Taking control of your health may seem daunting, but if symptoms interfere with daily life, don’t be shy – you’re not alone! Consult a healthcare provider to explore personalized solutions. Ladies, perimenopause is a natural part of aging, and one that you shouldn’t have to navigate alone! In combination with lifestyle improvements, certain aesthetic treatments, and guidance from healthcare professionals can make this transition smoother and more comfortable.
