Is This Perimenopause? Recognizing the Early Signs of Hormonal Change
Welcome to the first edition of Midlife Mondays, where we dive into real talk about hormones, perimenopause, and menopause — because midlife is too important to go misunderstood.
So... is this perimenopause?
If you're in your late 30s or 40s and starting to notice shifts in your body or mood, you're not imagining things. You might be entering perimenopause — the transition phase before menopause when hormone levels start to fluctuate.
Common signs of perimenopause:
Irregular periods
Trouble sleeping
Mood swings or anxiety
Hot flashes or night sweats
Brain fog or forgetfulness
Low libido or vaginal dryness
These symptoms can come and go — and they often begin before your period actually stops.
Why it matters
Recognizing perimenopause early can help you take back control. You don’t have to "just live with it" — there are real, evidence-based ways to manage symptoms and feel like yourself again.
