START HERE - Midlife Hormones...What's Going On?

Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause. It can last for 2-10 years and during this time hormones don’t decline smoothly — they are fluctuating.

Many women experience:

• Irregular cycles

• Mood or sleep changes

• New anxiety or irritability

• Increased stress sensitivity

• Interrupted sleep

• Weight gain...when you haven't changed anything

• Symptoms that come and go unpredictably

This phase often feels confusing because:

“Some days I feel fine… and other days I don’t recognize myself.”

Perimenopause requires flexibility, nervous system support, and blood sugar stability — not rigid plans, extreme diets or workouts.

Post-menopause begins after 12 consecutive months without a period.

Hormones settle into a new baseline, and the body shifts from fluctuation to long-term recalibration. This is where are in it for the long term, therefore we need to plan for that.

Common experiences include:

• More consistent symptoms, fluctuations slow

• Changes in metabolism or body composition

• Sleep or inflammation concerns

• Bone and muscle loss

• A desire to feel strong, steady, and well again

This phase responds best to:

• Consistent balanced nourishment

• Sustainable movement and strength

• Blood sugar and stress regulation

• Long-term foundations, not quick fixes

Many women struggle — not because they’re doing the wrong things — but because they’re using the right tools for the wrong season.

Supporting fluctuating hormones requires a different approach than supporting steady, post-menopausal ones.

When you understand your season:

• Food choices make more sense

• Movement feels supportive, not depleting

• Symptoms feel less alarming

• Confidence replaces confusion

If you’re unsure whether you’re in early transition, perimenopause, or post-menopause, I created a gentle quiz to help you identify your current hormonal season.
