The menopause conversation has been gaining traction for a while. But perimenopause has been left out in the cold.
Menopause has a clear diagnosis – it occurs when you reach one year without a period. In menopause, hormone levels are low, but they are steady. In perimenopause, hormones are fluctuating wildly, spiking one week, diving the next, which can be anxiety-inducing and confusing – especially if you don't realise that symptoms are hormonal. We are told, 'Your blood levels are normal, so it can’t be your hormones', which only reinforces the idea that women’s experiences aren’t valid.
The Perimenopause Survival Guide will not only demystify symptoms, but also explain how to treat them, and why doing so is important to your health today and over the long-term. This book will help you finally feel seen and get your questions answered, not just from a clinician with top-notch experience and knowledge about perimenopause, but also as a woman who is in the middle of her own hormonal transition, who truly knows what you're going through.
You will be empowered to make choices in your life that both relieve symptoms and shore up your health. With The Perimenopause Survival Guide you will be able to navigate this often years-long transition so you no longer feel dead inside or wonder if you're losing your mind, but instead can feel like yourself again.
