Understanding Perimenopause: Your Body’s Whisper Before the Change
Self-Care
Perimenopause can feel like an unexpected storm—irregular cycles, mood swings, hot flashes, brain fog—you name it. But these aren’t just random annoyances; they’re your body’s way of speaking up. At Embody Health, we’re here to decode these whispers and guide you through with empathy and hormone-balanced care. 🌱
What Is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading into menopause. It can start anywhere from your late 30s to early 50s and last several years. During this time, estrogen and progesterone levels begin fluctuating, leading to common symptoms like irregular periods and sleep disturbances.
